[Part I]


[Intro: Drake]

Hey, oh-oh

These girls ain't got nothing on you


[Verse 1: Drake]

Uh, say baby, I had to mention

That if you were a star, you'd be the one I'm searching for

Other girls they, they got attention

But I just always feel like they're in need of something you got

It's obvious you're pretty

Heard that you're a student working weekends in the city

Tryna take you out girl, hope you're not too busy

And if there's nothing wrong, got this little song

For you to get ready to, put those fucking heels on and work it girl

Let that mirror show you what you're doing

Put that fucking dress on and work it kind of vicious

Like somebody's taking pictures


[Chorus: Drake]

Shut it down (Ayy), down (Ayy), down (Ayy)

You would shut it down (Ayy), down (Ayy), down (Ayy)

You'd be the baddest girl around (Ayy), 'round (Ayy), 'round (Ayy)

And they'd notice, they'd notice

You would shut it down (Ayy), down (Ayy), down (Ayy)

You would shut it down (Ayy), down (Ayy), down (Ayy)

You'd be the baddest girl around (Ayy), 'round (Ayy), 'round (Ayy)

And they'd notice, they'd notice

You would shut it—

[Interlude: Drake & The-Dream]

Hey, oh-oh

These girls ain't got nothing on you

They ain't got nothing on you

They ain't got nothing on you, Ki-Killa, Killa


[Verse 2: The-Dream]

Uh, girl, you the greatest

And if he say you ain't, girl, he's out his mind

You the finest (Oh-woah)

And if he say you ain't, that boy done lost his mind

Hey baby, every time you come around

Shutting it down like computers

Hey lady, step into my heart

And let me put you in them Louboutins

What you want, what you need (Yeah)

I can be (Yeah), your everything

Them other **** just wanna hit it

But if they had it, wouldn't know what to do with it

[Chorus: Drake & The-Dream, Drake & The-Dream]

And together, we shut it down (Ayy), down (Ayy), down (Ayy)

They know we'd shut it down

You would shut it down (Ayy), down (Ayy), down (Ayy)

You'd be the baddest girl around (Ayy), 'round (Ayy), 'round (Ayy)

And they'd notice (They'd know) they'd notice (They'd know)

You would shut it down (Ayy), down (Ayy), down (Ayy)

They know we'd shut it down

You would shut it down (Ayy), down (Ayy), down (Ayy)

Every time we come around (Ayy), 'round (Ayy), 'round (Ayy)

(And they're on it) And they'd notice (They'd know)

They'd notice

They'd know you shut it down


[Bridge: The-Dream]

TMZ, Concrete Loop

You shut that, shut that down, down

Ice cream conversations, they all want the scoop

You shut that, shut that down, down

[Verse 3: Drake & The-Dream]

Shooting stars all around her, fire, comets (Yes indeed)

I could bring her through and shut 'em down, Onyx

No, you're not imagining, they're looking at you long stares

Even though she's standing out, she look like she belongs here

You feel the hours pass, until ya find somethin'

I feel like when she moves, the time doesn't

Yeah, baby, you finer than your fine cousin, and your cousin fine

But she ain't got my heart beating double time

You just shut it down, girl, who told the cops where the party was?

Why do I feel like I found the one?

What's in these shots that you ordered us?

Damn, I mean you sure know how to paint a town

Ever since you came around, it's obvious—

[Chorus: The-Dream & Drake]

You shut that thing down, you shut it down

Down (Ayy), down (Ayy), down (Ayy)

You shut it down, you shut it down

Down (Ayy), down (Ayy), down (Ayy)

You shut it down, you shut it down

You'd be the baddest girl around (Ayy), 'round (Ayy), 'round (Ayy)

You shut it, oh, oh

And they'd notice, they'd notice


[Bridge: The-Dream]

You looking good girl, go, go, go get 'em, girl

Go, go, go hit 'em girl, go, go, go, go, go, go

You looking good girl, go, go, go get 'em, girl

Go, go, go hit 'em girl, go, go, go, go, go, go

You shut it down

You shut it down, down, down, down, down


[Part II]


[Verse: Drake]

The way I'm feeling, things I say

All just happen, when you pass my way, oh

What can I do to make you stay?

I know it's getting late, but girl, I don't want you to leave

You tell me you're just not the type, you wanna do this right

And I'm not tryna say I don't believe you

But I refuse to feel ashamed, and if you feel the same

Does waiting really make us better people?

Take those fucking heels off, it's worth it, girl (It's worth it, girl)

Nothing is what I can picture you in

So take that fucking dress off, I swear, you won't forget me (I swear, you won't forget me)

You'll be happy that you let me


[Outro: Drake]

Lay you down, down, down

I'm tryna lay you down, down, down

You still the baddest girl around, 'round, 'round

They'd notice, they'd notice

Let me lay you down, down, down

Tryna lay you down, down, down

You still the baddest girl around, 'round, 'round

And they'd notice, they'd notice

You would shut it
