Lyrics

My gangsta boy, ooh-ah

I don't care if you're goin' to prison
I wouldn't say I l-love you if I didn't
I can't cheat 'cause I know what I'm missin'
Boop, boop, woopty doo, ooh

I won't play 'cause I'm already winnin'
Kissin' your lips, hot-hot like I'm sinnin'
High school, loved you from the beginnin'
Boop, boop, woopty doo

I want you, you, you
By my swimming pool
You, you, you
That would be so cool

You're my gangsta boy
You're my gangsta boy
'Cause you're my favorite toy
You're my favorite toy
Get you out, get you up
No, I'll never, ever stop
You're my gangsta boy
You're my gangsta boy

(Ooh-ooh, b-b-b-b-b-b-boy
Ooh-ooh, b-b-b-b-b-b-boy
Ooh-ooh, b-b-b-b-b-b-boy
Ooh-ooh, my gangsta boy)

I don't care what my girls and my mama
Say about you, bad boy, I like the drama
We can ditch 'em all while you're out if you wanna
Boop, boop, woopty doo

Like your leather and your long hair, honey, honey
You can bring your love and, baby, I got the money
Love you, baby boy, like I never loved nobody
Boop, boop, woopty doo

I want you, you, you
By my swimming pool
You, you, you
That would be so cool

You're my gangsta boy
You're my gangsta boy
'Cause you're my favorite toy
You're my favorite toy
Get you out, get you up
No, I'll never, ever stop
You're my gangsta boy
You're my gangsta boy

(Ooh-ooh, b-b-b-b-b-b-boy
Ooh-ooh, b-b-b-b-b-b-boy
Ooh-ooh, b-b-b-b-b-b-boy
Ooh-ooh, my gangsta boy)

Summer's almost over, baby
Everybody thinks I'm crazy
I could have it all but
It means nothing without you

Boy, I've been so lonely lately
I'll never get tired of waiting
I could have the world but
It means nothing without you

You're my gangsta boy
You're my gangsta boy
'Cause you're my favorite toy
You're my favorite toy, ooh

You're my gangsta boy
You're my gangsta boy
'Cause you're my favorite toy
You're my favorite toy
Get you out, get you up
No, I'll never, ever stop
You're my gangsta boy
You're my gangsta boy

(Ooh-ooh, b-b-b-b-b-b-boy
Ooh-ooh, b-b-b-b-b-b-boy
Ooh-ooh, b-b-b-b-b-b-boy
Ooh-ooh, my gangsta boy)

(Ooh-ooh, b-b-b-b-b-b-boy
Ooh-ooh, b-b-b-b-b-b-boy
Ooh-ooh, b-b-b-b-b-b-boy
Ooh-ooh, my gangsta boy)
