    PLAYLIST TIME:

    7 Days

    by: Nina

    On my way to see my friends
    Who lived a couple blocks away from me (owh)
    As I walked through the subway
    It must have been about quarter past three
    In front of me
    Stood a beautiful honey with a beautiful body
    She asked me for the time
    I said it?d cost her her name
    A six digit number & a date with me tomorrow at nine
    Did she decline? no
    Didn?t she mind? I don?t think so
    Was it for real? damn sure
    What was the deal? a pretty girl aged 24
    So was she keen? she couldn?t wait
    Cinnamon queen? let me update
    What did she say? she said she?d love to
    Rendezvous
    She asked me what we were gonna do
    Said we?d start with a bottle of moet for two
    Chorus
    Monday
    Took her for a drink on tuesday
    We were making love by wednesday
    And on thursday & friday & saturday we chilled on sunday
    I met this girl on monday
    Took her for a drink on tuesday
    We were making love by wednesday
    And on thursday & friday & saturday we chilled on sunday
    Verse 2
    Nine was the time
    Cos I?ll be getting mine
    And she was looking fine
    Smooth talker
    She told me
    She?d love to unfold me all night long
    Ooh I loved the way she kicked it
    From the front to back she flipped (back she flipped it, ooh the
    Way she
    Kicked it)
    And I oh oh I yeah
    Hope that she?d care
    Cos I?m a man who?ll always be there
    Ooh yeah
    I?m not a man to play around baby
    Ooh yeah
    Cos a one night stand isn?t really fair
    From the first impression girl hmm you don?t seem to be like that
    Cos there?s no need to chat for there?ll be plenty for that
    From the subway to my home
    Endless ringing of my phone
    When you feeling all alone
    All you gotta do
    Is just call me call me
    Chorus
    Monday
    Took her for a drink on tuesday
    We were making love by wednesday
    And on thursday & friday & saturday we chilled on sunday
    I met this girl on monday
    Took her for a drink on tuesday
    We were making love by wednesday
    And on thursday & friday & saturday we chilled on sunday
    Bridge
    (break it down, uh break it down)
    Since I met this special lady
    Ooh yeah
    I can?t get her of my mind
    She?s one of a kind
    And I ain?t about to deny it
    It?s a special kind thing
    With you-oh.......
    Chorus
    Monday
    Took her for a drink on tuesday
    We were making love by wednesday
    And on thursday & friday & saturday we chilled on sunday
    I met this girl on monday
    Took her for a drink on tuesday
    We were making love by wednesday
    And on thursday & friday & saturday we chilled on sunday
