[Intro: Monica & Missy Elliott]
Yeah, and oh, oh, set it off
Come on, now
This that hot shit, ya'll, uh, set it off
That new Monica shit, oh
Come on

[Verse 1: Monica & (Missy Elliott)]
You remember when I was just a young one (C'mon)
And I was to afraid to quickly let you show me thangs

[Interlude: Missy Elliott]
'Hol up, 'hol up
Big show DJ's
This joint so crazy
Put the needle back on the record
Let's do a double take

[Verse 2: DirtBag]
Now listen, baby, I'm a dirt bag
I don't know the different faces, I can't take it
But I got a jeep, so you lead and I'll follow
Lunch up in a diner, if ya act right, we dine in the Bahamas
Now whoa, 'lil mama, I'm a gangsta
Anywhere ya wanna go, I'ma take ya
Oh my god, you caught my eyes like from twenty yards
You so damn fine
Listen, I don't eat peaches
But the way you look tonight, I just might take a bite
Come closer, feel that
It's a woman and a man and a latex
Out the shower, hotel flowers on the bed
Choice of wine white or red
What more can I say
Monica, DirtBag, ATL, MIA

[Verse 1: Monica & (Missy Elliott)]
You remember when I was just a young one
And I was to afraid to quickly let you show me thangs
Not sure if I was ready for some good love
And I'm 'bout to set it off (Oh, set it off)
Can you please be gentle? 'Cause I am the fragile kind
And even tho I'm ready for the move of my time (My time)
Now buckle up yo seat while I set it off
(Uh-huh, set it off, set it off, s-s-set it of)

[Chorus: Monica]
Baby, let me set it off (Let me)
Do you mind it I get it off?
Set it off, set it off (Yeah, it off)
All it takes is one phone call
If you wanna get it on
Set it off (Come on now), set it off (Yeah)

[Verse 2: Monica]
I know you're anxious
But please let's make a compromise
I'm so energized, all in my neck, my back, my thighs
Make sure the lock is safe before I set it off
(Uh-huh, set it off, set it off, s-s-, set it of)
Oh, set it

[Chorus: Monica]
Baby, let me set it off
Do you mind it I get it off?
Set it off, set it off
All it takes is one phone call
If you wanna get it on
Set it off, set it off
Oh, set it

[Bridge: Monica with Missy Elliott]
Now I'ma get it, you can tell them Mo said it
And you betta not forget it, now don't sweat it
And we can really go at it, if you let it let's protect it
Now I bet it be good
Is you ready?
But the jump of heavy, my style varies
The club down I shut it, how I do it
I set it in me

[Chorus: Monica]
Baby, let me set it off
Do you mind it I get it off?
Set it off, set it off (Whoa)
All it takes is one phone call (All it takes is one)
If you wanna get it on
(Come on now) Set it off, set it off

[Outro: Missy Elliott & Monica]
Yeah, breakdown
Uh, here we go
I'll set it off
I'll set it off
I will set it off (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'll set it
I'll set it
