Lyrics
You said to bring a pleasant melody.
I'll make it hot like it's a felony.
You say at least we don't beg no more.
I keep it busy on the dance floor.
I keep it busy with my buttons tight.
Baby will I see you tonight?
I'm doing bad but I feel alright.
Baby will I see you tonight?
[CHORUS]
Careful mama he's a gangster, gangster
Oh careful mama he's a gangster.
[VERSE #2]
I see him gun just like a running horse.
He's interrupting with his brute force.
He's interrupting on the dance floor.
He signals to me for another chore.
At least we don't have to beg no more,
but it's a different kind of animal.
And at least we know when the lightning's going to strike,
but it's always in a different place.
[CHORUS x2]
Maybe he's a wolf.
[BRIDGE]
The night is young and the moon is full.
Together we will never grow old.
The darkest time has yet to come,
the story has yet to unfold.
It's a story for a different day.
Can you hear it in the melody?
I hope you're heating up because of me.
You know he'll never put his gun away.
You know he'll make me steal your heart away.
