[Verse 1: Sulaiman]

Little baby wanna be wild for the night
Cause I'm styled like I'm sitting' in the crowd for the fight
And I bow on the bow of a boat
Like a Japanese sailor ‘bout a mile off the coast
Speak it all into existence get ya wishes out ya throat
If you want me or you don't you got need to let me know
You ain't as speedy as I hoped, so I'ma go solo
And sincerely I might go back to Africa like Toto
I'll let you know though


[Chorus]

Give me one reason to stay here oh and I'll turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here oh and I'll turn right back around
Said I don't wanna leave you lonely
You gotta make me change my mind
Baby I got your number oh and I know that you got mine
You know that I called you, I called too many times
Yo can call me baby, oh you can call me anytime
You got to call me, well


[Verse 2: Sulaiman]

This for big boys rollin' in them big whips
Wrist lit, prolly on the way to get chips
And then dip, Second City how we flip scrips
She threw me hips I be in with mama quick, yea
At first glimpse I see that you didn't notice
How you can't invest in yourself and afford Jordans
Is your outfit or your pocket of more importance
I'll wait
Have a nice day


[Chorus]

Give me one reason to stay here oh and I'll turn right back around
Give me one reason to stay here oh and I'll turn right back around
Said I don't wanna leave you lonely
You gotta make me change my mind
I don't want no one to squeeze me, oh they might take away my life
I don't want no one to squeeze me, oh they might take away my life
I just want someone to hold me, oh and rock me through the night
Rock with me, rock with me, rock with me
