[Verse 1]
Come to my window
I'll leave it open
Sometimes a girl just needs fresh air
I have a garden
Do you like flowers?
Just through the gates it is my world
Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo
Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo
Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo
Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo
Let's take a ride
You'll drive my car
We'll put the top down and name stars
I have this candy
My mother gave me
I'll share if you don't tell no one

[Chorus]
I know you're afraid to come with me
But tonight I'm gonna present you with pleasure, with pleasure
See, scared money don't make none
So roll with me and I will be your treasure, your treasure
I know you're afraid to come with me
But tonight I'm gonna present you with pleasure, with pleasure
See, scared money don't make none
So roll with me and I will be your treasure, your treasure

[Verse 2]
It's raining now, I'm soaking wet
But I think I like it, baby
It's hot in here, I'll make it clear
That I really want you, baby
I'm fighting porn and it's still morning
You make me leave my conscience, baby
I'm not scared of truth or dare
But nothing is just nonsense, baby

[Chorus]
I know you're afraid to come with me
But tonight I'm gonna present you with pleasure, with pleasure
See, scared money don't make none
So role with me and I will be your treasure, your treasure
I know you're afraid to come with me
But tonight I'm gonna present you with pleasure, with pleasure
See, scared money don't make none
So roll with me and I will be your treasure, your treasure

[Outro]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Kelis

When idiosyncratic R&B singer Kelis hit the scene in 1999 with the siren-bathed “Caught Out There,” many didn’t know what to do with a rainbow-haired songstress repeatedly screaming “I hate you so much right now” as her hook. It made her not only unforgettable, but also helped put hitmaking production duo The Neptunes on the map.

Though her debut album Kaleidoscope was well-received, her label Virgin Records opted to only release the sophomore Wanderland internationally though the single “Young, Fresh N' New” was in rotation on BET & MTV.

Despite record label drama, Kelis kept her public profile up singing the hooks on hit songs like ODB’s “Got Your Money” and Busta Rhymes' “What It Is”.
