Butterfly Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm taking a moment just imaginin' that I'm dancin' with you
I'm your pole, and all you're wearing is your shoes
You got soul, you know what to do to turn me on until I write a song about you
And you have your own engaging style
And you've got the knack to vivify
And you make my slacks a little tight
You may unfasten them if you like
That's if you crash and spend the night

[Chorus]
But you don't fold, you don't fade
You've got everything you need, especially me
Sister, you've got it all
You make the call to make my day
In your message say my name
Your talk is all the talk, sister, you've got it all

[Verse 2]
Curl your upper lip up and let me look around
Ride your tongue along your bottom lip and bite down
And bend your back and ask those hips if I can touch
'Cause they're the perfect jumping off point of getting closer to your butterfly
Well, you float on by
Oh, kiss me with your eyelashes tonight
Or Eskimo your nose real close to mine
And let's mood the lights and finally make it right
[Chorus]
But you don't fold, you don't fade
You've got everything you need, especially me
Sister, you've got it all
You make the call to make my day
In your message say my name
Your talk is all the talk, sister, you've got it all
You've got it all, you've got it all, you've got it all
You've got it all, you've got it all, you've got it all
You've got it all, you've got it all

[Bridge]
Doll, I need to see you pull your knee socks up
Let me feel you up side, down slide, in slide, out slide, over here
Climb into my mouth now, child

[Verse 3]
Butterfly, well you landed on my mind
Damn right, you landed on my ear and then you crawled inside
Now I see you perfectly behind closed eyes
I wanna fly with you, and I don't wanna lie to you
'Cause I, 'cause I can't recall a better day
Sun coming to shine on the occasion
You're an open-minded lady
You've got it all
And I never forget a face
If I'm making my own
I have my days
Let's face the fact here, it's you who's got it all
You know that fortune favors the brave
Well, let me get paid while I make you breakfast
The rest is up to you, you make the call
[Chorus]
You make the call to make my day
In your message say my name
Your talk is all the talk, sister, you've got it all

[Verse 4]
I can't recall a better day
Sun coming to shine on the occasion
You sophisticated lady, oh, you've got it all

[Bridge]
You've got it all, you've got it all, you've got it all
You've got it all, you've got it all, you've got it all
You've got it all, you've got it all, you've got it all
You've got it all, you've got it all

[Outro]
Butterfly, baby, well you've got it all
