Born To Do It

Craig David Born To Do It Lyrics
1.Fill Me In

Verse 1

I was checking this girl next door when her parents went out
She'd phone say hey boy come on right around
So i knock on the door you were standing with a bottle of red
wine ready to pour
Dressed in long black satin laced to the floor
So i went in
Then we sat down start kissing caressing
Told me 'bout jacuzzi
Sounded interesting
So we jumped right in
All calls diverted to answerphone
Please leave a message after the tone
I mean me & her parents were kinda cool
But they were the fine line between me
& you
We were just doing things young people in love do
Parents trying to find out what we were up to

Chorus

Saying why were you creeping 'round last night
Why could i see two shadows moving in your bedroom light
Now your dressed in black when i left you were dressed in white
Can you fill me in?
Calls diverted to answerphone
Red wine bottle half the contents gone
Midnight return jacuzzi turned on
Can you fill me in?

Verse 2

Whenever the coast was clear & she'd ask me to come
I'd say hey girl
Come on right around
So she knocked at the door
I was standing with the keys in my hand to the 4x4
Jumped in my ride
Checking that noboby saw
The club we went
We got down
Bounce bounce to the rhythm
Saw it was early morning
Thought we'd better be leaving
So i gave you my jacket for you to hold
Told you to wear it cos you felt cold
I mean me & her didn't to break the rules
Weren't trying to play your mum & dad for fools
We were just doing things young people in love do
Parents trying to find out what we were up to

Chorus

Saying why can't you keep your promises no more
Saying you'll be home by 12 come strolling in at 4
Out with your girls but leaving with the boy next door
Can you fill me in?
Wearing a jacket who's property
Said you'd been queuing for a taxi
But you left all your money on the tv
Can you fill me in?

Middle *

All they seem to do
Is be checking up on you baby
Watching are every move
Think someday the might approve

(Chorus 1-2 then fade)


2.Can't be Messing Around

Uh, uh, yeah
Haha, Craig David
It's another one
Gonna make ya, make ya dance to this
Gonna make ya, make ya dance to this
This is how we do it, one time
To the year 2-O-G-1-9-9, c'mon

One day, minding my own business
Girl fall back, won't keep her distance
She was all over me, just won't let it be, oh no
So I said to her
I got a girl at home
It's so hard for me
But you gotta leave me alone
She said she didn't wanna listen to me
Do exactly what she wanted to me, oh baby
I must admit that she was getting to me
Wanted me, wanted me to hold her oh so tightly

Together forever, wherever, whatever
Said she couldn't find nobody better
Wasn't gonna give up on me never, she said
Ooh you look to fly
Everytime you pass me by
I like the way you move your body
Girl, I must admit you givin' me the chills a little bit
You wanna get with me
But girl you know I'm not free

1 - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
C'mon, let me hit it again
C'mon, let me sing it again
Won't pretend
Can't be messing 'round on my girlfriend

Repeat 1

It seems like everyday you wanna be callin' me
And when I step inside, you always follow me
You said that you were really feelin' me
Wearin' that thong, thong, thong, thong that I wanna see
And when you pull it back, you know you're really temptin' me
But I got a girl at home who'll do the same for me
And that's the way that it's gotta be, gotta be
So listen now lady

Ooh, I like your profile
The way you talk, your little smile
But you gotta understand lady
I'm not cheating on my baby
Ooh, you lookin' so fine
But I'm goin' home to my girl tonight
And I'm sorry that we couldn't get it on
But the love from my girl's too strong

Repeat 1
Repeat 1

This love we got be goin'
And you know you got me open
Since the day we started talkin'
You and I have had this special little somethin'
When I wake up in the morning
Girl it would be you I'd be calling
Since I met you, my phone bill be doublin'
But girlfriend, you know that money ain't a thang
You know me, the one and only C-R-A-I-G, c'mon
Now let me deliver this properly
So the world can see that I
Ain't the type of guy
And why should I make my girlfriend cry?
Can't deny the girl I met was real fly
But it's you that puts me on a natural high
So I just walked on by, haha
Sayin' my oh my
I ain't gonna let no other girl start troublin'
Someone like you, you must be jokin'

Repeat 1
Repeat 1
Repeat 1
Repeat 1

4.Seven Days

On my way to see my friends
who lived a couple blocks away from me (owh)
As I walked through the subway
it must have been about quarter past three
In front of me
stood a beautiful honey with a beautiful body
She asked me for the time
I said it'd cost her her name
a six digit number & a date with me tomorrow at nine

Did she decline? No
Didn't she mind? I don't think so
Was it for real? Damn sure
What was the deal? A pretty girl aged 24
So was she keen? She couldn't wait
Cinnamon queen? let me update
What did she say? She said she'd love to
rendezvous
She asked me what we were gonna do
said we'd start with a bottle of moet for two

Chorus

Monday
took her for a drink on Tuesday
we were making love by Wednesday
and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday
I met this girl on Monday
took her for a drink on Tuesday
we were making love by Wednesday
and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday

Verse 2

Nine was the time
cos I'll be getting mine
and she was looking fine
Smooth talker
she told me
She'd love to unfold me all night long
Ooh I loved the way she kicked it
from the front to back she flipped (back she flipped it, ooh the
way she
kicked it)
And I oh oh I yeah
hope that she'd care
cos I'm a man who'll always be there

Ooh yeah
I'm not a man to play around baby
Ooh yeah
cos a one night stand isn't really fair
From the first impression girl hmm you don't seem to be like
that
Cos there's no need to chat for there'll be plenty for that
From the subway to my home
endless ringing of my phone
When you feeling all alone
all you gotta do
is just call me call me

Chorus

Monday
took her for a drink on Tuesday
we were making love by Wednesday
and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday
I met this girl on Monday
took her for a drink on Tuesday
we were making love by Wednesday
and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday

Bridge

(Break it down, uh break it down)
Since I met this special lady
ooh yeah
I can't get her of my mind
She's one of a kind
And I ain't about to deny it
It's a special kind of thing
with you oh...

Chorus

Monday
took her for a drink on Tuesday
we were making love by Wednesday
and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday
I met this girl on Monday
took her for a drink on Tuesday
we were making love by Wednesday
and on Thursday & Friday & Saturday we chilled on Sunday

13.Spanish

Would you like a drink with me?
(If you don't mind, can I talk to you if it's all right)
I want your body close to mine
(All night, while we're dancing in the moonlight)
We could spend the night in ectasy
(Kissing, touching, caressing)
You know that you don't have to leave (Tonight)
Saying why didn't I go home with you tonight.

In fresh from out of town
Just breezed in so I thought I'd take a look around
And find a party where the vibe is right
I'm talking maybe meet a honey take her home tonight,
So shades on, top's off the whip
Taking in the sigths as I cruise the strip
As I pull up to a red light
I see the pretty little shorty in my headlights.

This girl looked hafl black yet half oriental
Man this chick's got class & style
I'd like to ask her for her credentials
Name, address, numbers to dial
She plays tuff when deep down she's gentle
Ain't that hard to read the signs
The girl bangs like dre instrumentals
Well here's an acappella of mine


Two all up in the club
Got my game tight about to tear it up
Could be a night that I won't forget
Boy I'm lookin for a honey & I'm a confident
I was: dancing bat I had to stop
Whe I clocked this fly girl wearing a halter top
She had her hair done nails right
This senorita had a booty that was so tight

She was a: hot girl looked continental
Damn, her body looked so fine
The way she spoke I saw her potential
If loos could kill then she'd do time
I don't claim to speak perfect spanish
But I do know a few lines
This female's sliker than your average
And I gotta meke her mine

So, quieres beber conmigo?
(If you don't mind, can I talk to you, if it's all right)
Quiero sentir tu cuerpo
(All night while we're dancing in the moonlight)
Haz el amor conmigo
(Kissing, touching, caressing)
Ya no me dejes solo
Saying why didn't I go home with you:

Tonight I'm from the distance admiring
Girl you're looking so vibrant
And I dig the way you move your body
Let's get out of this party
Maybe we can get naughty
Say bye, bye girlfriends
'Cos just in a minute we'll be gone if we're N-sync
(Can we dance?)

Would you like a drink and some loving?
But leave your husband at home
Unless he want a bump on the dome
Come along, rub alongside me
Put your phone on silence, just breath
What you're doing is rigth, what I'm doing is wrong
Only time I do right is when I'm doing a song
So, expect your ex to exit the area
Exterior vex, perplex by the sex
What you're drinking?
Drinks on me, find me on drink & drink on me
You can ride next to me, girl it's ectasy
Here's something for your ex to see
It's messed up how I slide up your tight with my right hand
You wanna ride all night then I can
Don't be shy of just one, one night stand, now let's go!!!
