“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)

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

(Chorus: Ashanti)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (ooh-ooh-ahh-ooh-ohh), (baby).
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby.
