Welcome to Nellyville
Where all newborns get a half-a-mill’
Sons get sedan Devilles
Soon as they can reach the wheel
And daughters get diamonds the size of their age
I’m talkin’ one year get one carat
Two years get two carats
I love you, and I need you
Nelly I love you, I do need you
No matter what I do, all I think about is you
Even when I’m with my boo
Boy, you know I’m crazy over you
No matter what I do, all I think about is you
Even when I’m with my boo
You know I’m crazy over you
I met this chick
And she just moved right up the block from me
And uh, she got the hots for me
The finest thing my hood done seen
But oh no, oh no, she gotta a man
And a son, though, but that’s okay
Cause I wait for my cue and just listen, play my position

Cause I, I never been the type to break up a happy home
But uh, there’s something bout baby girl
