Ladies lift your glasses an' toast yourselves
It's a dedication, Barrington Levy, Shaggy

I love to see the ladies take full control
Independent woman, don't depend on a soul
Confident in the fact that she has her own
Nobody has to tell her how to play her role

I'm talkin' all the honies to my left
Sophisticated ladies are the one who set the trends
Ladies who don't hang around with no progressive friends
They don't have no time to play a silly game
Shallow mans are all the same

All the fellas who get played
Not because they pour the drinks it means they're gettin' laid
Show her some respect an' maybe wouldn't have been played
Yo, now you're lookin' kinda dumb
I bet this pants are tiresome

I love to see the ladies take full control
Independent woman, don't depend on a soul
Confident in the fact that she has her own
Nobody has to tell her how to play her role, sweet

Say what? Beep beep, dude's pager goin' off
Car keys spinnin' on his finger, showin' off
Bet he thinks all the hyper love, the latest stuff
It takes more than flashiness
For home girl to be impressed

Ladies wanna be adored
Ladies want a real man to keep them reassured
Forget about the cash, she wants a heart to feel secured
He's not gonna sacrifice the pride
Can't hang, will step aside

I love to see the ladies take full control
Independent woman, don't depend on a soul, sweet
Confident in the fact that she has her own
Nobody has to tell her how to play her role, sweet

She's alright
It don't matter what you want to offer her
Because she's been around the world
You're so right
Bet you're thinkin' that she's confident women
But she's an independent girl

Here a lot of ladies, you know
Strong women, [Incomprehensible]
Self-made, I'm lovin' ya
Shaggy, alright
