Spent 24 hours, I need more hours with you

You spent the weekend getting even, ooh

We spent the late nights making things right between us

But now it’s all good, babe

Roll that back wood, babe

And play me close 

‘Cause girls like you run ’round with guys like me

Till sun down when I come through

I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

Girls like you love fun, and yeah, me too

What I want when I come through

I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

I need a girl like you

I spent last night on the last flight to you

Took a whole day up tryna get way up, ooh

We spent the daylight tryna make things right between us

But now it’s all good, babe

Roll that back wood, babe

And play me close

‘Cause girls like you run ’round with guys like me

Till sun down when I come through

I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

Girls like you love fun, and yeah, me too

What I want when I come through

I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

I need a girl like you

Maybe it’s 6:45

Maybe I’m barely alive

Maybe you’ve taken my shit for the last time, yeah

Maybe I know that I’m drunk

Maybe I know you’re the one

Maybe you’re thinking it’s better if you drive

‘Cause girls like you run ’round with guys like me

Till sun down when I come through

I need a girl like you, yeah

Not too long ago, I was dancing for dollars (eeoow)

Know it’s really real if I let you meet my mama (eeoow)

You don’t want a girl like me I’m too crazy

Fore every other girl you meet its fugazy (okurrrt)

I’m sure them other girls were nice enough

But you need someone to spice it up

So who you gonna call? Cardi, Cardi

Come and rev it up like a Harley, Harley

Why is the best fruit always forbidden?

I’m coming to you now doin’ 20 over the limit

The red light, red light stop, stop (skrrt)

I don’t play when it comes to my heart (let’s get it though)

I don’t really want a white horse and a carriage

I’m thinkin’ more of white Porsches and karats

I need you right here ’cause every time you call

I play with this kitty like you play with your guitar

‘Cause girls like you run ’round with guys like me

‘Til sun down when I come through

I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

Girls like you love fun, and yeah, me too

What I want when I come through

I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

I need a girl like you
