Detroit Girl by Raphael Saadiq Lyrics
[Intro]
Motor City, Detroit city
It’s the one and only, the infamous, Raphael, Saadiq
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
I need your whole seven (Oh yeah)
I like what you do to me (Hey)
I wanna set you up (Set you up)
Come let me make you, I say, Detroit lady
[Verse 2]
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”
[Outro]
Oakland, L.A., representin’
Girl, can we hook up? (And Detroit)
I wanna do the hookup (And Chicago, Oklahoma, Memphis)
Girl, can we hook up? (New Orleans, Virginia, Houston, Texas)
I wanna do the hook up (Dallas, Texas; Florida)
Girl, can we hook up? (Alabama)
I wanna do the hook up (Arkansas)
Girl, can we hook up? (Atlanta, GA; everybody)
I wanna do the hook up (Ray Ray, you’re a fool)
Girl, can we hook up? (South Carolina, North Carolina)
I wanna do the hook up (Everybody, New York)
Girl, can we hook up? (New York City, New York City y’all)
I wanna do the hook up (Baltimore, I love you too)

I wanna do the hook up (Ray Ray, you’re a fool)
