I Can Do That

Kef featuring Van · Written by Dave Keffer & A. V. Williams-Clark

Lyrics

Well my, my, my ain't you a pretty sight to see
Would it be alright if I'm with you tonight, baby
I like 'em tight and fine, oh and about 5' 9"
And you seem to fit the category, wanna be mine?
You make me stop, you make my heart drop
I've been all around the world and never seen such a lollipop
And I've tasted candy that was sugary sweet
But no sugar ever made my heart beat, beat, beat

Nice try, baby boo, a player with a resume is cute
But cute ain't gonna do
I need a background check on your application
If you wanna apply for this position
You better start with the ability to qualify
Better brush up on your game for the interview

Interview?

Yeah, like you gonna tell the other girls you wanna be mine?
I can do that
Retire them old players lines?
I can do that
Delete the numbers on your cellular phone?
I can do that
Throw away that nasty cologne?
I can do that
Tell me that you love me in front of your friends?
I can do that
Be generous with some of your ends?
I can do that
Let me know it's gonna be alright?
I can do that

Now, with all that said, you gonna change your tune?
Baby, what's a young man gotta do, be a tycoon?
Silver on the spoon, with a large fortune?
Make a million dollars every afternoon?
Now I employ twelve hired guns (yeah) tired ones (yeah)
Workin' day and night tryin' to translate girls little puns
Interview...pfft...I'm gonna have to postpone
I hope that throne makes it easier for you to be alone

Nice try little slick, but you're fishing with a string on a stick
Tryin' to catch Moby Dick
You think that tired line is gonna lure me in
If you wanna capture my attention
There's an attitude I need you to personify
Make me know for sure what you can do

Can you tell me that there's nobody else?
I can do that
Will you be cool when I check for myself?
I can do that
You gonna flatter me with flowers and wine?
I can do that
And when the check comes, are you gonna sign?
I can do that
Take me shopping for no reason at all?
I can do that
And if I page, you return my call?
I can do that
You gonna swear that I'm the only one?
I can do that

So now you thinkin', baby, maybe we can do this then
Chicken and the hen, play a little Barbie and Ken
That's cool, no no, but it's about time though
Kinda sick of baby stallin' with the info, uh oh
Wait a minute (doh) I forgot to bring a pencil
I need a writing utensil (can) wait!
I gotta write your number in, Special K, quick get a pen
The girl's about to start again

Can you forget the other girls that you know?
I can do that
When your phone rings, let me say hello?
I can do that
Memorize my number by heart?
I can do that
Oh, and don't be trippin' if we gotta be apart?
I can do that
Tell me little secrets at night?
I can do that
Apologize first when we fight?
I can do that
When I need you are you gonna be sweet?
I can do that

Introduce me to your mom and your pop?
I can do that
Oh, and the trickin' in the club has gotta stop.
I can do that
Make it sweet when you're wakin' me up?
I can do that
With a little somethin' somethin' whassup.
I can do that
Make plans to spend time with me?
I can do that
Take me out dancin' til three?
I can do that
Make some noise when I'm shakin' my thing
I can do that
Oh and when you gonna buy me a ring?
