[Chorus]
You can call me day and night, night and day
Girl, you're all that I want
I need you up around my way
We go together like a potter and clay
Girl, you're all that I want
I need you up around my way

[Verse 1]
Michaelangelo would faint, Rembrandt would cry
To stand in line for a lock of your hair
I'd fly around the world just to be close to you
Anytime, anyplace, anywhere

[Chorus]
You can call me day and night, night and day
Girl, you're all that I want
I need you up around my way
We go together like a potter and clay
Girl, you're all that I want
I need you up around my way, hey hey

[Verse 2]
Ooh, now looking in your eyes I see the real
Reason why stars like to fall from the sky
You're all I ever think of, that's why I got to let you know
How you blow my mind
You're just my type, just my kind, baby

[Chorus]
You can call me day and night, night and day
Girl, you're all that I want
I need you up around my way
We go together like a potter and clay
Girl, you're all that I want
I need you up around my way
You can call me day and night, night and day
Girl, you're all that I want
I need you up around my way
We go together like a potter and clay
Girl, you're all that I want
I need you up around my way

[Bridge]
Just tell me what I should do
Tell me what I should say
Rub me, I'm your genie
Your wish is my command right away
Can we talk about it, lady?
Can we get together?
I'm free, I'm free

[Rap]
Left of the sun, right of the moon
You're hotter than the Fourth of July, and, ooh
One taste of your sweet, sweet lips
Will have me doing cartwheels, double flips
Kinda shy to say that I'm sweatin' you
But judging by the smile on your face says I'm gettin' you
No rush, come real today
Come around my way, come on

[Chorus]
You can call me day and night, night and day
Girl, you're all that I want
I need you up around my way
We go together like a potter and clay
Girl, you're all that I want
I need you up around my way

[Interlude]
(Up around my way)
Up around my way
Up around my way
(My way)
Up around my way
(You know the number, baby, call me)

[Chorus]
You can call me day and night, night and day
Girl, you're all that I want
I need you up around my way
We go together like a potter and clay
Girl, you're all that I want
I need you up around my way
