[Intro]
Your body parts, your body parts
I wanna be alone with you, girl
You know your body, body
Grippin' on me, baby like you grippin' that Bacardi

[Chorus 1]
I wanna be alone with you, girl
Diggin' on your body parts, body parts
You know your body parts, body parts
You know your body parts, body parts

[Verse 1]
I see you standin' over there in the corner
Lookin' like you wanna get it, girl
Grippin' that drink so tight
Tell me if I'm so right
Cause you're lookin' dynamite
And I wanna be alone with you tonight
Maybe love [?]
Making you my wife
So hear me, let me have a drink with you
Let me get you in the mood
Get your attitude
Let's get all in the nude
Now let me grind you to the beat, baby
I'll take you to the city
[?]
I'll take you to the moon

[Verse 2: Mila J]
You want this
I can tell from the way that you're lickin' your lips
You want it, yeah, yeah
You want it, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You like this
Lost in the way that I'm movin' my hips
They're rollin', yeah, yeah
Slow motion, baby, baby
Ain't goin' easy, you gotta work
But baby believe me, you gon' love the perks

[Pre-Chorus: Mila J]
If you want my body, body
And you wanna get naughty, naughty
Then you gotta come with it
Play by the rules, but come get it
If you wanna feel it, feel it
Then you gotta be the realest, realest
Diggin' on my body parts

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Hey girl, tell me can I hit it with you
Do the things lovers do
Take you on a weekend cruise
Buy you a new purse and shoes
I'll make you feel so brand new
Please let me get with you
Want you to be my boo
So hear me, I would give anything
Including bank, share you a drank
Sound so good, girl what you think?

[Verse 4: Mila J]
Baby I want you to
You gotta make the move
I'm waiting, I'm anxious
I'm starting to get impatient
Your body's my station
Let's play Operation
If I go out of bounds
I don't wanna hear complainin'
Do you hear me? Can you hear me?
Focus boy, want you to feel me

[Pre-Chorus] + [Chorus]

Started in 1983, Jodeci is comprised of two sets of brothers—Cedric and Joel Hailey (also known as K-Ci and JoJo) and Donald and Dalvin Degrate (also known as DeVante Swing and Mr. Dalvin). Jodeci were once known as the “bad boys of R&B,” notable particularly because they were actually boys at the time, breaking out as teenagers in 1991 with their debut album and its title ballad, “Forever My Lady.” Natives of North Carolina, they were discovered by Heavy D, who overheard their demo when an A&R at Uptown was in the process of passing on them. Heavy D introduced Jodeci to Uptown founder Andre Harrell, who signed them after they sang in his office, and handed them off to his then-protégé Puff Daddy, who outfitted the group in dark shades and coordinating leather ensembles. The look, along with the streetwise soul found in songs like “Cry 4 U” and “Feenin” (as well as a few run-ins with the law) made them the antithesis to good-guy personas of then-peaking R&B superstars Boyz II Men. Devante, who along with Mr. Dalvin held down production duties for the group, founded the Swing Mob, a collective responsible for the discovery of musical geniuses like Timbaland, Missy Elliott, and Static Major. As a group, Jodeci would go on to release three critically-acclaimed album in the ‘90s, before disappearing from the limelight. K-Ci and JoJo splintered off as a duo in 1997, producing hit single “All My Life” and, eventually, five albums, but adoring fans never let go of their Jodeci obsession. In March, the group released The Past, The Present, The Future, the first Jodeci album in two decades. Jodeci, if y'all reading this, where’d you go?
