“Baby (Remix)”

[with Crooked I]

(Ashanti: Spoken Intro)

I don't remember feelin' like this…

(Chorus: Ashanti)

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (ooh-ooh-ahh-ooh-ohh), (baby).

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.

I love when I hear ya name, got me sayin'…

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (baby, I love you).

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.

I love it when I hear ya name, got me sayin'…

(Ashanti: Verse 1)

I got this Jones formin' in my bones (from a man),

who indeed took over my soul, (understand),

I couldn't breathe if he ever said (he would leave),

get on my knees, 'till they bloody red (baby please).

See, I don't know if you get it yet, (just don't know).

He's like the lighter to my cigarette (watch me smoke).

I never knew another human life (didn't know),

Can have the power to take over mine, so baby, baby.

(Rap: Crooked I: Verse 2)

Yo, I love my R&B P's man.

She be in the shower singin' Chaka Khan's “Sweet Thang”.

But I'm on the block, gutter, thuggin' where the G's hang,

'cause all of my father figures came from a street gang.

It's Crooked I, ridin' wit' me and more (uhh).

She top notch, dog, a Bently Azure (uhh).

She keep her body covered in Christian Dior (whoa),

plus she ready to ride wit'me in war.

Who can ask for more?

Me and my…

(Chorus: Ashanti)

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (ooh-ooh-ahh-ooh-ohh), (baby).

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.

I love when I hear ya name, got me sayin'…

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (baby, I love you).

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.

I love it when I hear ya name, got me sayin'…

(Ashanti: Verse 3)

See, I could never feel alone with you (in my life),

I'll give up everything I own for you (won't think twice).

Almost a shame how I mesmerized (such a shame),

I loose my thought lookin' in your eyes (I know why),

because your kisses make my lips quiver (oooo-oooo-oooo-and that's real),

And when you touch me my whole body shivers. (ooo-ooo-ooo-I can feel).

Now, I can see how another life ('nother life), can have the power to take over mine, 'cause you're my…

(Chorus: Ashanti)

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (ooh-ooh-ahh-ooh-ohh), (baby).

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.

I love when I hear ya name, got me sayin'…

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (baby, I love you).

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.

I love it when I hear ya name, got me sayin'…

(Bridge: Ashanti and Crooked I)

(Ashanti:) Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.

(Crooked I:) You wit' the I, we gon' ride 'till we die, ya know?

(Ashanti:) Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.

(Crooked I:) Yeah, wit' you by my side, we gon' always survive, fo'-sho'.

(Ashanti:) Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.

(Crooked I:) Yo, yo, let's get this money, huh, let's get this paper right.

(Ashanti:) Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.

(Crooked I:) Whenever it's the Row and Murder Inc., it's a done deal when we link.

(Rap: Crooked I [and Ashanti]: Verse 4)

And tell me, who could ever picture that you me would be together forever

(Ashanti: ooh-ooh-ahh-ooh-ohh).

I'm a gangsta, they said I'd never get ya (Ashanti: baby).

I'm runnin' the turf, you want me comin' to church.

How can I come when I know I keep guns under my shirt?

I love the street life, but that there, love is a curse.

And when I think about livin' without you (Ashanti: baby, I love you), nothin' is worse.

I got my lil' momma's back, it's more than just hoppin' in the sack,

I guess opposites attract.

You my…

(Chorus: Ashanti)

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (ooh-ooh-ahh-ooh-ohh), (baby).

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.

I love when I hear ya name, got me sayin'…

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (baby, I love you).

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.

I love it when I hear ya name, got me sayin'…

(Bridge: Ashanti and Crooked I)

(Crooked I:) You wit' the I, we gon' ride 'till we die, ya know?

(Ashanti:) Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.

(Crooked I:) Yeah, wit' you by my side, we gon' always survive, fo'-sho'.

(Ashanti:) Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.

(Crooked I:) Yo, yo, let's get this money, huh, let's get this paper right.

(Ashanti:) Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.

(Crooked I:) Whenever it's the Row and Murder Inc., it's a done deal when we link.

(Chorus: Ashanti)

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (ooh-ooh-ahh-ooh-ohh), (baby).

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.

Mmm.
