(Hide the bone) {repeat in song}
(Ah yeah, ah yeah) {repeat sample in song}
Hide the bone

(Oh yeah) {repeat sample in song}

I can't hold it any longer
It's gettin' harder every day
The need for you is getting stronger
Than my need to play

[Chorus:]
Playin' hard to get is gettin' hard to play
How can I be cool fallin' every day?
Playin' hard to get is gettin' hard to play
How can I resist? Love has got me sayin', baby
"Give it up - bang, bang - before it be gone!"
Hide the bone

Oh, when you whisper that you want me
Press your body close to mine
I feel the fire burnin' and I just want to surrender
I want to surrender every time, hey!

[Chorus]

Hide the bone
Hey baby
(Bone) {xto}

You're goin' to ruin my reputation
I'm used to makin' all the rules
But I can't control this situation (I can't control it)
When it comes to me and you

You're breakin' down my resistance
I won't ever be the same, oh no (Oh no)
You kiss away all my defenses
This time the hunter is captured by the game (Bone)

[Chorus]

Ah yeah, hey

(Bone)
Whatever you do - keep it movin'
Whatever you do - don't stop {repeat phrase xfor}

Don't stop the groove {x8}
(Let's hide the bone)
Bone {x9} (Let's hide the bone)
Whatcha stoppin' for, nigga?
I didn't tell you to stop
(Let's hide the bone)
