[Chorus 2X]
YO' SWEET-NESS - ("Give it to me, give it to me")
IS, MY WEAK-NESS - ("Give it to me, baby" [- Rick James)
Pump it up, pump it up, pump it up, pump it up

[MC Hammer]
Just, just..
Just the way, that you smile
And the things, that you say
Like Eastwood on the movies
Yo, baby, +make my day+
It's not a game, not a movie
It's yo' love that do this to me
Dial my number, call me up
I go from pitbull to precious pup

[Chrous]

[MC Hammer]
Check it out..
Be my GIRL, be my lady
Be my WOMAN, be my baby
Treat you like a diamond ring
Kiss and hold me, sweet thing
Be my FRIEND, be my homie
Be my girl, my one and only
Call my name, I can't explain
Yo' sweetness drive me insane

[Chorus]

[MC Hammer]
Met this girl, get me hype...
Get me hype, get me stupid
Shot with an uzi, by ol' Cupid
Got me goin on and on
Can't stop groanin on my mobile phone
She says hi, I say yo
That gets it off and there we go
Just so sweet, you oh so real
I'm GETTIN weak, that's how I FEEL!

[Chorus]

[MC Hammer]
I remember how I met you, girl...
On the night that we first met
That is the way that I forget
We were buggin at a club
Gettin live - OAKTOWN DOES!
Then you looked, and I looked
And there it was, we were HOOKED!
Sweetness on yo' face
That's why my body (SHOOK AND SHOOK)

[Chorus]

[Instrumental break]

"Give it to me baby" [- Rick James

Yo, yo, yo..

[MC Hammer]
Now, now..
Now the love, that you have
Is the love, that I need
Like a fat man eatin chicken
On your lovin, I will feed (word!)
From the moment, that I see you
I don't KNOW, how to act
A weakness for yo' sweetness
Makes my heart go PITTIN-PATT!

[Chorus]

[Interlude: MC Hammer] (Too Big MC)
(Yo, let's do this!) Now it's time to DANCE..

Yo, baby be sweet and make me weak, yeaaah! (BUST IT!)

Stanley Kirk Burrell (born 30 March 1962), better known by his stage name MC Hammer, is an American rapper, dancer, entrepreneur, spokesman and occasional actor from Oakland, California. He had his greatest commercial success and popularity from the late 1980s until the late 1990s. Remembered for his rapid rise to fame, Hammer is known for his hit records (such as “U Can’t Touch This” and “2 Legit 2 Quit”), flashy dance movements, choreography and his trademark Hammer pants. Hammer’s superstar-status and entertaining showmanship made him a household name and Hip-Hop icon. He has sold more than fifty million records worldwide.

A multi-award winner, MC Hammer is considered a pioneer and innovator of pop rap, and is the first Hip-Hop artist to achieve diamond status for an album. Hammer was later considered a sellout due in part to overexposure as an entertainer, and as a result of being too “commercial” when Rap was “hardcore”, then his image later becoming increasingly “gritty” to once again adapt to the ever-changing landscape of rap. Burrell became a preacher during the late 1990s with a Christian ministry program called MC Hammer and Friends. Additionally, he starred in a Saturday morning cartoon called Hammerman in 1991 and was executive producer of his own reality show called Hammertime which aired during the summer of 2009. Prior to becoming ordained, Hammer signed to Suge Knight’s Death Row Records in 1995.

Throughout his career, Hammer has managed his own recording business. As a result, he has created and produced his own acts including Oaktown’s 3.5.7, Common Unity, Special Generation, Analise, One Cause One Effect, Teabag, Dom Kimberley, Geeman, DRS, Pleasure Ellis, B Angie B, Stooge Playaz, Ho Frat Hoo! and Wee Wee, among others. A part of additional record labels, he has collaborated and has been associated with 2Pac, Teddy Riley, Felton Pilate, Tha Dogg Pound, The Whole 9, Deion Sanders, and Big Daddy Kane, as well as others.
