[Intro] (Yeah... 2003) (Malik Saints in the building) (Listen...) I saw you walk through the door, girl. I'm not one for playing games, so let me just keep it real. [Verse 1] Got my glass in my hand, standing by the wall, Watching how you move, standing proud and tall. Every guy in this room trying to catch your eye, Throwing lines at you while the night goes by. I ain't gonna wait until the lights get low, Or act like a friend when there’s a vibe to show. You got that energy that stops the room, And I just had to step up to you real soon. [Pre-Chorus] I could buy you a drink, we could talk about the weather, Or we could cut straight to how we look together. No hesitation, no running around, I’m telling you straight what I just found. [Chorus] First thing first, I gotta let you know, I ain't trying to let this moment go. You look good tonight, got my mind on lock, And the way you smile made the whole room stop. Yeah, first thing first, let's skip the line, I just wanna know if I can make you mine. No games to play, no words rehearsed, I had to tell you, baby, first thing first. [Verse 2] Now you’re laughing at the way I made my move, Saying I got confidence, I got a point to prove. I said, "Girl, I’m just honest with the things I see," And right now you look like the place to be. Your phone keep ringing, but you let it slide, Leaning in a little closer to my side. The spark is instant and the feel is right, We ain't gotta rush, but we got tonight. [Pre-Chorus] I could buy you a drink, we could talk about the weather, Or we could cut straight to how we look together. No hesitation, no running around, I’m telling you straight what I just found. [Chorus] First thing first, I gotta let you know, I ain't trying to let this moment go. You look good tonight, got my mind on lock, And the way you smile made the whole room stop. Yeah, first thing first, let's skip the line, I just wanna know if I can make you mine. No games to play, no words rehearsed, I had to tell you, baby, first thing first. [Bridge] (Instrumentation thins out to smooth Rhodes and steady kick) Some guys wanna play it cool and wait three days, Lost inside a little hesitation phase. But when something feels right, I make my claim, So remember the face and remember the name. 'Cause I meant every word I said from the start... [Final Chorus] First thing first (yeah!), I gotta let you know (let you know, baby), I ain't trying to let this moment go. You look good tonight, got my mind on lock (mind on lock!), And the way you smile made the whole room stop. Yeah, first thing first, let's skip the line (skip the line), I just wanna know if I can make you mine. No games to play, no words rehearsed, I had to tell you, baby, first thing first. [Outro] First thing first... Malik Saints. Just keeping it real with you. Yeah... (Fade out)
