Lyrics:

(Intro)

Who in this party's off the hook?
I had take a closer look
What it be possible, honey
To have a little talk with you?
Oh, baby

I'll be your shelter when your homeless
Be your light in the dark
This ain't no line, honey
If that's what's going through your mind
Ah, baby

I just what to be your 24-7 man, now
(24-7, 24-7, 24-7 man)
Just as strong as I can
I just what to be, I want to be
Your 24-7 man, girl
Ain't no shame in my game, girl

Some men may cheat, some men may lie
Without ever battin an eye
But I'm not that kind of guy, honey
You're pressin heavy on my mind, oh baby

You need some lovin come to me
You need some company come to me
You need some squeezin come to me
You need a little kissin come to me


I just what to be your 24-7 man, girl
(24-7, 24-7, 24-7 man)
Just as long as I can
I just what to be, I want to be
Your 24-7 man, girl
Ain't no shame in my game, girl

You need a little money come to me
You need a little honey come to me
You positively look delicious, baby      *** could be the best line ever!
You're really rockin up my mind, ah baby  ?

I want to rock with you, baby
I want to roll with you, honey
I want to squeeze you, baby
Till you drop all of my money

24-7, hey now girl			*** This last part is kind of like a vocal guitar solo!
24-7, hey now
I want to rock with you, babe
All night long, yeah
I want to squeeze you, baby
All night long, yeah
I want to run my fingers all up and down you, yeah     **** You go, Bob!
Hey now, yeah
Hey
24-7 man, yeah
24-7
Hey now, babe
24-7 
Hey now, hey now
