Adina Howard Let me lay it on the line
I got a little freakiness inside
And you know that the man has gotta deal with it
I don't care what they say
I'm not about to pay nobody's way
'Cause it's all about the dog in me, uh-huh
I want a freak in the
morning
A freak in the evening, just like me
I need a roughneck nigga
That can satisfy me, just for me
If you are that kind of man
'Cause I'm that kind of girl
I'
ve got a freaky secret, everybody sing
'Cause we don't give a damn about a thing
'Cause I
will be a
freak until the day
Until the
dawn
And we can (pump, pump)
All through the night 'till the early morn'
Come on and I
will take you around the 'hood
On a gangsta lean
'Cause we can (pump, pump)
Any time of day, it's all good for me
