I know everybody wants you
That ain’t no secret
Hey baby what’s your status?
And tell me are you tryna keep it?
Well, they can all back off
‘Cause I know what I want
And while I’ve got your attention
Did I mention
If you’ve got a kiss on your lips that you’re looking for somebody to take
If you’ve got a heart that ain’t afraid of love, ain’t afraid to break
If you’ve got a Friday night free and a shotgun seat
Well I’m just saying, I ain’t got nowhere to be
So baby I’ll take whatever it is you’ve got to give
Yeah, I’m calling dibs
On your lips
On your kiss
On your time
Boy, I’m calling dibs
On your hand
On your heart
All mine
Make everybody jealous
When I take you off the market
And get my lipstick on your right cheek
‘Cause boy I’ve got to mark it
Ooh
So they can all back off
Yeah
‘Cause I know what I want
And while I’ve got you listening
Come on and show me what I’m missing
Yeah
If you’ve got a kiss on your lips that you’re looking for somebody to take
If you’ve got a heart that ain’t afraid to love, ain’t afraid to break
If you’ve got a Friday night free and a shotgun seat
Well I’m just saying I ain’t got nowhere to be
So baby I’ll take whatever it is you’ve got to give
Yeah, I’m calling dibs
If you’ve got a kiss on your lips that you’re looking for somebody to take
