I hear Suzie she is calling and she’s calling ‘cause she can’t get so sleep

Repeat
Verse 1 (Tanto)
This on my mind when I woke up this morning
To send this beautiful day with my darling
I hear the phone that must be her calling
She in the mood for love can’t you see
I make a flash in a dash, tire balding
I got to go its urgent the rain falling
There she looking sexing and charming
Getting goose bumps as she saw me.
Verse 2 (Tanto)
A me play the role, to have and to hold
Blanket unfold, when the time cold
Link soul to soul, after noon stroll
Taking control, that’s my main goal
Now I’m chilling out, kicking back with my lady
It’s just a matter of time before she have my baby
Marriage in the pipeline, hey it’s no maybe
It’s just a thing call love they think I am really crazy
Wo gee for this, have been dreaming daily
To have a girl like you and not one to play me
On a scale of hundred, I give her over 80
It’s a real love, so Lover are you ready
