[Verse 1]
Next time you see me, that won’t be the same
Next time you see me, that won’t be the same
Everything you know ‘bout me now baby
Everything you know ‘bout me now, mama
You gonna have to change and call it by a brand new name
I say everything you know ‘bout me now baby, woo

[Verse 2]
Sunlight of the daytime and the moon
And the moonlight of the night
Sunlight of the daytime and the moon
And the moonlight of the night
Oh, you know my baby’s eyes light up
Yes, her eyes light up cos you know
Her eyes light up cos her papa’s gonna treat her right
Oh, you know my baby’s eyes light up, play the blues

[Verse 3]
Oh, them East Bay women
Man, they sho’ nuff go to town, for Robert now
Oh, them East Bay women
Lord they’re fine, they’re fine and round
Ooh, you know somebody must be giving
Them special courses, special courses
How, how to turn a man’s damper down
Yes they really turn, yes they really turn
A man’s damper down, you know
