[Intro]
Ooh baby, give it to me now, girl, yeah

[Verse 1]
There's nobody here, baby
But me and you, yeah, girl
I wanna pull down the shade, dim the lights
And do what I wanna do to you, yeah girl
Don't tell me no, baby
I think you're trying to play hard to get, girl
Oh girl, before the night is over
I bet, I bet I can make you sweat

[Chorus]
You say no, I say yes
Girl, I bet, I can make you sweat
You say no, I say yes
Girl, I bet, I can make you sweat

[Verse 2]
Ooh yeah, girl
Let me kiss you here and there
I'll do anything you want me to, yeah baby
I wanna drive you wild, baby
Let me please, let me, let me drive you wild, baby
Ooh yeah, lady

[Chorus]
You say no, I say yes
Girl, I bet, I can make you sweat
You say no, I say yes
Girl, I bet, I can make you sweat

[Verse 3]
All alone tonight, just me and you
I wanna do you right
And baby that's what I wanna do
Just put your arms in the air
Let me kiss ya everywhere

[Chorus]
You say no, I say yes
Girl, I bet, I can make you sweat
You say no, I say yes
Girl, I bet, I can make you sweat

[Bridge]
Come on, baby
You're doing something to me, baby
You're doing something real to me, baby
Think about it
Baby, please think about it
Say yes
Ooh yes, I say yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Please yes, oh yes, yes, ya, ya, ya, ya
Sweat, all night long, girl
Yeah, just you and me, come on
Just right now, baby, now
Come on, come on baby, come on
Right now, baby, you, you, you all night long, girl

[Chorus]
You say no, I say yes
Girl, I bet, I can make you sweat

Keith Sweat

Keith Sweat is an R&B singer-songwriter from New York. He helped innovate the New Jack Swing genre with his first album in 1987, Make It Last Forever, which featured the upbeat “I Want Her” and the provocative title track.

Almost a decade later, Sweat found the R&B groups Silk and Kut Klose and signed them to his own record label. His fifth album, which was self-titled and released in 1996, resulted in the certified-platinum hits, “Twisted” and “Nobody.” He went on to win “Favorite Male R&B/Soul Artist” at the 1997 American Music Awards.

Currently, he hosts a syndicated R&B radio show in New York City.
