[Intro: D'Angelo]
Ah yeah
Ow, uh
Uh-huh

[Verse 1: D'Angelo]
It's just the way she's so raw and uncut
She needs a spankin', she'll love it
And I just wish that I could open her up, yeah, yeah
To this deeper place of love, ayy, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
High-priced snake skin on her arm
Lace satin covering up her charms, ow, ow
You shoulda seen the way they tossed and turned, yeah
The way she made the congregation squirm

[Chorus: D'Angelo]
Girl's got a worldly view
Apparently she sees through you
Her love was never meant to sharе for two
She said I'll do it if you'll be my sugah daddy

[Interlude: D'Angelo]
Horns
Shout-out to Roy Hargrove, rеst in peace, uh

[Verse 2: D'Angelo]
Take a note from my philosophy
And I'ma try to give her what she need (What she need)
Can't snatch the meat out of the lioness mouth
Sometimes you gotta just ease it out
Even if I wanna give her some more lovin' (I'll give her a pacifier)
I fill my baby's crib with all the lovin' daddy wants to give
(And when it comes to rocking her to sleep, I'll never tire)
This is the way I pat my baby on the butt, good God
She had me hooked with only just one glance, yeah
She need a spankin', baby, that's what's up
Lawd, lawd
You say you wanna be the one she chooses to star in her meaningless romance
To star in her meaningless romance
To star in her meaningless
To star in, to star in, to star in
To star, to star, to star, to star in her meaningless romance

[Chorus: D'Angelo]
Girl's got a worldly view
What's a sassy girl to do?
And if the decision was left up to me
You best believe that I would be her sugah daddy
Brown eyes that'll make you blue
Eyes that'll see right through you
She crossed her fingers when she said her vows
She said I promise that I'll sock it to you...

[Outro: D'Angelo, DJ Scratch]
Yeah, a little taste, right?
A little somethin'
Yeah, you know, um, Harlem is like a second home to me. I'm from Virginia, I'm from Richmond, but this is my second home, man. So, whenever I come here, I always think about, um, you know, the first time I came here when I was a teenager, uh, sixteen, seventeen, competing
Showtime at the Apollo?
Not Showtime but the regular Amateur Night
Amateur Night joint
Yeah
Oh
For sure
So what happened?
I won, ha ha ha. Yeah, man, um, and so that was my start, really, for being a professional, I guess. But, um, when I think about this place, when I think about Harlem, I think about community, you know, um, and uh, you know, just people stepping up and supporting, supporting us tonight, um — shout-out to Harlem, um, New York, all over the world — and um, you know, just wanna uh, say 'cause they're putting us on this thing so I'ma read it. Um, you know, we support Black businesses and Black entrepreneurship, and uh, you know
Community
Community, man, that's what it's about. So, um, you know, all power to the people, and um, that's where the power is, for real. So, that said, let's move on, man
