You got a face like the Madonna, crying tears of gold
Pumping gas at the Texaco, road to road
You're on the run
Oh, baby, yeah, you're on the run, oh, baby
I'm not a trick, boy, I'm a trick for you
You give me butterflies, heart skipping one, two
I know you're sick boy, I wanna get the flu
I'm running temperatures thinking of your love, boo
Brooklyn, move my soul like this
Kissing my stilettos, move your mouth up to my lips
Come on over, ghetto baby
(He said show 'em what you got, girl)
Come on over, ghetto baby
(Drop it like it's hot, girl)
I know your lips say that you wanna, but your heart's a no
But, boy, your hips say that you're gonna when you hold me, hold me
You're so fun
B-baby you are so much fun, b-baby
My local rock star, the really big crew
I'm feeling you, boy, you're liking me, too
I'm clocking chicks left and right just to get to you
You're out there on the grind, now come home to your queen, boo
Brooklyn, move my soul like this
Kissing my stilettos, move your mouth up to my lips
Come on over, ghetto baby
(He said show 'em what you got, girl)
Come on over, ghetto baby
(Drop it like it's hot, girl)
Brooklyn, move my soul like this
Kissing my stilettos, move your mouth up to my lips
Come on over, ghetto baby
(He said show 'em what you got, girl)
Come on over, ghetto baby
(Drop it like it's hot, girl)
We're a match made in heaven, if they're gonna talk, let ‘em
If they don't think we're good together, baby, just forget ‘em
When he's bad, he's bad, but when he's good, no one's better
We're a match made in heaven and this kinda love's forever
Brooklyn, move my soul like this
Kissing my stilettos, move your mouth up to my lips
Come on over, ghetto baby
(He said show 'em what you got, girl)

(Drop it like it's hot, girl)
Lana Del Rey version[]
You got a face like the Madonna, crying tears of gold
P-pumping gas at the Texaco, road to road
You're on the run
Oh, baby, yeah, you're on the run, oh, baby
I'm not a trick, boy, I'm a trick for you
You give me butterflies, heart skipping one, two
I know you're sick boy, I wanna get the flu
I'm running temperatures thinking of your love, boo
Brooklyn, move my soul like this
Kissing my stilettos, move your mouth up to my lips
Come on over, ghetto baby
(He said show me what you got, girl)
Come on over, ghetto baby
(Drop it like it's hot, girl)
I know your lips say that you wanna, but your heart's a no
But, boy, your hips say that you're gonna when you hold me, hold me
You're so fun
B-baby, you are too much fun, b-baby
My local rock star, the Willy B crew
I'm feeling you, boy, you're liking me, too
I'm clocking chicks left and right just to get to you
You're out there on the grind, now come home to your queen, boo
Brooklyn, move my soul like this
Kissing my stilettos, move your mouth up to my lips
Come on over, ghetto baby
(He said show me what you got, girl)
Come on over, ghetto baby
(Drop it like it's hot, girl)
Brooklyn, move my soul like this
Kissing my stilettos, move your mouth up to my lips
Come on over, ghetto baby
(He said show me what you got, girl)
Come on over, ghetto baby
(Drop it like it's hot, girl)
We're a match made in heaven, if they're gonna talk, let ‘em
If they don't think we're good together, baby, just forget ‘em
When he's bad, he's bad, but when he's good, no one's better
'Cause we're a match made in heaven and this kinda love's forever
Brooklyn, move my soul like this
Kissing my stilettos, move your mouth up to my lips
Come on over, ghetto baby
(He said show me what you got, girl)
Come on over, ghetto baby
(Drop it like it's hot, girl)
Brooklyn, move my soul like this
Kissing my stilettos, move your mouth up to my lips
Come on over, ghetto baby
(He said show me what you got, girl)
Come on over, ghetto baby
(Drop it like it's hot, girl)
