Lyrics[]
[Intro]
I got the bait to catch ya, I'm the big fish in the pond
And I'm fishing with a pole
They call me Silvers John Long
And if that don't excite ya and I'm talkin' way too much
Dial Nemo and you're single
Danja, Britney and The Clutch
[Verse 1]
I see you fishing and you're wishin that I'd just take the bait
You think the girls up in this club are all like fish in a tank
Keep throwin' line out after line and one by one they all sink
You're off the hook, hook but your body I like
And I think, I think I might bite
[Chorus]
Give it to me straight, don't make me wonder, wonder
Now look me in my eyes, tell me there's no other
Better reel me in, don't let the line break
I might take the bait tonight (Night)
I just might take the bait tonight
Oh, I might take the bait tonight
Oh, I
Better reel me in, don't let the line break
I might take the bait tonight (Night)
Might take the bait tonight
[Verse 2]
Reach out and grab me
You could catch me if you wait long enough
I'll just make circles around you if I don't see what I want
Most girls take anything you throw them but I'm calling your bluff
I'm off the hook, hook but I'm worth the wait
If you want me that's what it takes, takes
[Chorus]
Give it to me straight, don't make me wonder, wonder
Now look me in my eyes, tell me there's no other
Better reel me in, don't let the line break
I might take the bait tonight (Night)
I just might take the bait tonight
Oh, I might take the bait tonight
Oh, I
Better reel me in, don't let the line break
I might take the bait tonight (Night)
Might take the bait tonight
[Outro]
You caught me boy and I'm a keeper, keeper (Uh-huh)
You play this right you just might keep her, keep her
Ain't you getting tired of the fishing, fishing? (Uh-huh)
You just don't know what you been missing
Here it goes (Here it, here it, here it goes now)
Let me know (Let me, let me know)
[Chorus]
Give it to me straight, don't make me wonder, wonder
Now look me in my eyes, tell me there's no other
Better reel me in, don't let the line break
I might take the bait tonight (Night)
I just might take the bait tonight
Oh, I might take the bait tonight
Oh, I
Better reel me in, don't let the line break
I might take the bait tonight (Night)
Might take the bait tonight
