[Intro: Mariah Carey & Jermaine Dupri]
Sweet (Uh uh, uh huh, uh uh), mmm

[Verse 1: Jermaine Dupri]
I'm lookin' for the one very seldom seen in the streets brought up
Taught to never get caught up with niggas like me
Don't wanna start it but shit gotta stop
And when we hit the mall, wanna shop 'til you drop
My S-W-double E-T-heart
Gotta be a little thug, at the same time, smart
Gotta know how to keep it up dusk to dawn
Know how to turn it off and then turn it back
In the party givin' body, watchin' us watch y'all
Screamin', "I don't need no man at all"
One or two tattooed, all that's cool (Uh huh)
See somеthin' strange, wanna act a fool
See me, see me trick off with two, four, sеven (Uh huh)
Always dippin' off with ain't no tellin' (Yeah)
'Cause if I'm all in it, I'ma spoil you like a kid
And the sky be the limit, baby, tell me you wit', huh

[Chorus: Mariah Carey & Jermaine Dupri]
Sweetheart, yeah
Uh huh, yeah, uh huh, uh, uh, uh

[Verse 2: Jermaine Dupri]
Hair stay done (Uh), nails and her toes, too
In the bed, always got some new shit to show you
Stay caked up (Yeah), no makeup
Bad enough to make me and my current bitch break up
Gotta, kiss right (Uh huh), hit right, stay fresh
Know how to flow and make a wish right
I need a slim that rock Timbs with the sex appeal
When I push the hot wheel (What?), switch to the hills
Every woman want a man with his head on right
A little thugged out that'll love you for life (Yeah)
So what you got him for
When, baby, what you really want is a nympho
To take to your kinfolk
Every time the wind blow
You think about me crawlin' through your window
And how it feel when I swim low
So what's up? Let me spoil you like a kid
See, the sky be the limit, now tell me who you wit'

[Chorus: Mariah Carey & Jermaine Dupri]
Sweetheart, yeah
Haha, put your hands in the air, haha
Uh uh, baby

What you think about you and me, baby, goin' one on one, huh?
Sweetheart, yeah

Oh oh, baby
What you think about
Be my baby
What you think about you and me, baby, goin' one on one?

[Bridge: Jermaine Dupri]
Now, baby, I feel like it's you
That I wanna give all this to, ya heard?
We can paint the town if you wanna be down
Just tell me what you wanna do, uh
Now, baby, I feel like it's you
