Lyrics Detroit Girl - Raphael Saadiq

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»
