Detroit Girl

Motor City, Detroit city

It’s the one and only, the infamous, Raphael, Saadiq

Detroit girl, listen to me

I’m from Oakland, California, lady

They say that our cities alike

But it’s you that I like

Can I spend the night in your town, lady?

Detroit girl, you told me your name

And I’ve never been the same, no I haven’t

I love the way you carry yourself

You’re kinda ghetto but yet sexy

That’s just the way it works for me, yeah

I need your whole seven

I like what you do to me

I wanna set you up

Come let me make you, I say, Detroit lady

Now Detroit girl, I’m loving your taste

And that chain around your waist—you know I do

I love the way you’re turning it on

That’s why I’m writing this song

Because I’m loving your style, baby

Now Detroit girl, can you come to my town?

I would love to show you off to my friends

I know what they might say when they meet you

They might say something like, “Ray Ray, you’re a fool”

Now Detroit girl, can you come to my town?

I would love to show you off to my friends

I know what they might say when they meet you

They might say something like, “Ray Ray, you’re a fool”
