And if it ain't clear to ya, baby
Don't stop, let's rock
Give it to me, baby

Ain't like you don't want none

Don't fight what you can't, son

You know you can't ignore it (Say my name, say my name)

[Verse 3: Left Eye]
Four-letter words and three wishes is what I came for
Love-birds blowin' kisses in picture frame form
With just a fraction of this major attraction comin' soon
I'll bust and implode, gimme gimme room
I keep it blazin', it's so amazin'
The occasion that I am raisin', massive body invasion
So, what you savin' all that love for?
Open up your mind, explore, and make it hardcore
(You treat me like candy)
I'll be your candy store
Give you just a little more than what you bargained for, uh
And if you're askin' for some guidance, it's not a minus
I'll break it down to a science, kitchen appliance
69, gimme mine, I'll be your valentine
365 days, I want my sun to shine
See, I've been waitin' for the planets to realign
Total eclipse on my lips until the end of time

[Chorus: Toni Braxton]
Gimme gimme
Gimme some, gimme some (Baby)
Don't fight what you can't, son (Oh yeah, yeah)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (Whoo, sing now, now, now, now)
What you gonna do? (Sing, help me sing it, girlfriends)
Gimme gimme
Gimme some, gimme some
Ain't like you don't want none (Gimme gimme gimme, darling)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (Gimme gimme gimme, baby, yeah-yeah)
What you gonna do?
Gimme gimme (Gimme gimme)
Gimme some, gimme some (Gimme gimme gimme, baby)
Don't fight what you can't, son (Whoo)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
What you gonna do? (Whoa)
Gimme gimme
Gimme some, gimme some
Ain't like you don't want none
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (Oh yeah)
What you gonna do?
Gimme gimme
Gimme some, gimme some (Gimme gimme some)
Don't fight what you can't, son
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (Oh yeah)
What you gonna do?

[Outro: Toni Braxton]
Gimme gimme gimme gimme, baby
Gimme gimme gimme gimme, darling
Oh, whoo, yeah, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
