The Way I Are [*] Lyrics
(State of emergency)
Yeah, yeah (yeah)
Yeah, yeah (yeah)
Remember the time, baby
Yeah, yeah (yeah)
I ain't got no money
I ain't got no car to take you on a date
I can't even buy you flowers
But together we can be the perfect soul mates
Talk to me, girl
Oh, baby, it's alright now, you ain't gotta flaunt for me
If we go Dutch, you can still touch my love, it's free
We can work without the perks, just you and me
Thug it out 'til we get it right
Baby, if you strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are
I'm about to strip and I'm well equipped
Can you handle me the way I'm are?
I don't need the cheese or the car keys
Boy, I like you just the way you are
And let me see you strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like
I ain't got no Visa
I ain't got no Red American Express
We can't go nowhere exotic
It don't matter 'cause I'm the one that loves you best
Talk to me, girl
Oh, baby, it's alright now, you ain't gotta flaunt for me
If we go Dutch, you can still touch my love, it's free
We can work without the perks, just you and me
Thug it out 'til we get it right
Baby, if you strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are
I'm about to strip and I'm well equipped
Can you handle me the way I'm are?
I don't need the cheese or the car keys
Boy, I like you just the way you are
And let me see you strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way (yeah) you are
Baby girl (yeah, yeah)
I don't got a huge ol' house, I rent a room in a house
Listen, baby girl (yeah, yeah)
I ain't got a motorboat, but I can float ya boat
So listen, baby girl (yeah, yeah)
Once you get a dose of D.O.E., you gon' want some mo'
So listen, baby girl (yeah, yeah)
When I make it, I want you there, want you there, yeah
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah (yeah)
Yeah, yeah (yeah)
Remember the time, baby
Yeah, yeah (yeah)
I ain't got no car to take you on a date
I can't even buy you flowers
But together we can be the perfect soul mates
Talk to me, girl
If we go Dutch, you can still touch my love, it's free
We can work without the perks, just you and me
Thug it out 'til we get it right
'Cause I like you just the way you are
I'm about to strip and I'm well equipped
Can you handle me the way I'm are?
I don't need the cheese or the car keys
Boy, I like you just the way you are
And let me see you strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like
I ain't got no Red American Express
We can't go nowhere exotic

I like the artist, but I don't get this song. If he has no money, how does he plan to tip her? Nevermind. Apparently Timbaland is offering his poor self to some woman (who must be an ignoramous for not knowing he's loaded:). He's saying take me for who I am, not what I have (or don't have).
