## Lyrics

[Intro: Poo Bear]

All my ladies say, ha, ha, ho

All my ladies say, ha, ha, ho

All my ladies say, ha, ha, ho

All my ladies say, down, stay down

Stay down, stay down, stay down

Down, stay down, stay down, stay down, stay down

[Verse 1: Poo Bear]

Would you love or would you leave, if I cheat?

Could you be the one that's strong enough

For us to withstand our love? Yeah

If they started spreading rumors about me

Would you believe what you heard or disregard?

[?] who stand by my side, down the ride

I don't need someone that's overprotective

Too possessive, no

That would be the one that's gon' push me away

Hear what I'm saying

I need someone that's independent

But play a position, yeah

Know when to move and know what not to say

Don't you hear what I'm saying?

If you with me then you gotta

[Chorus]

Stay down (Down, yeah, stay down)

Stay down (Stay down)

Stay down (Stay down, yeah, stay down)

Not some of the way (No)

Not half of the way (No)

But all of the way (No)

You gotta stay down (Down, stay down)

Stay down (stay down)

Stay down (stay down, yeah, stay down)

Not some of the times (No)

But all of the times (No)

You gotta stay down (Oh)

[Verse 2]

[?] in the streets, freak in the sheets

With an innocent [?] have you looking at her in a different life, whoa I

I'd be [?] international, professional

With the capability to move and be two places at the same time, oh (The same time)

Like a magician, I can read my head and turn what you imagine into reality, yeah

Anywhere you wanna go, I can bring it to you (Bring it to you)

[?]

Being around me is such a privilege to your image, yeah

Paparazzi ain't gonna get enough of you

You ain't ever gotta worry (So don't you worry)

I'm always gonna

[Chorus]

Stay down (Down, stay down)

Oh down (Stay down, stay down, stay down)

Not some of the way (No)

Not half of the way (No)

Down, we gotta stay

(Down) Down (Stay down)

Down (Stay down)

Down (Stay down)

Down (Stay down)

Not some of the times (No)

Not half of the times (No)

Know I'm gonna stay down

[Bridge]

Oh, oh

In the beginning you commited and I still led you down, oh

Somehow you saw the bigger picture and a better part of me

Now I'm commited to making this love thing work out well, oh

Did you know it means the world to me, oh I

Know you'll always

[Chorus]

Stay down (Down, stay down)

Oh (Stay down) Oh (stay down, stay down)

Listen

Not some of the way

Not half of the way

But all the way down

(Down, stay down)

Oh (Stay down)

Ay (Stay down)

Oh-oh (Stay down)

Not half of the times

Not some of the times

But all of the times

[Chorus 2]

(Down, stay down)

Oh (Stay down) Stay down (stay down, stay down)

Hah, listen

You got mine, I got yours too

You hold mine, I hold yours too

[Outro]

(Down, stay down)

Oh (Stay down) Stay down (stay down) Yeah, yeah (Stay down)

Stay down, yeah, yeah

Stay down

Now I let you say ha (Ha), ha (Ha), ho (Ho)

All my ladies say, ha (Ha), ha (Ha), ho (Ho)

All my ladies say, oh ha
