N.E.R.D. Frontin' (acoustic cover)

tear yo ass up.

Don't wanna sound full of myself or rude/but you ain't lookin' at no
other dudes/cuz you love me/so you think about a chance/you find
yourself tryin' to do my dance/maybe cuz you love me/

So then we try/singin' a slow down beat cuz you weren't used to how
fast we touched/fast we touched/
Then we locked eyes/then i knew i was in there and i was going to tear
ya' ass up/tear ya' ass up/

I know that i'm carrying on/never mind if i'm showin' off/ i was just
frontin'/you know i want you babe/
I'm ready to get it on/unless you don't care at all/but you know i want
ya/you should stop frontin' babe/

Tryin' to be the best girlfriend you could be/but still you sneak and look
at me/and girl i love it/then you give the other girl a shove/tell her you
gonna call her, ask how it was/and she's gone love it/whoa ooh oh
yeah yeah/

So then we try/singin' a slow down beat cuz you weren't used to how
fast we touched/fast we touched/
Then we locked eyes/then i knew i was in there and i was going to tear
ya' ass up/tear ya' ass up/

I know that i'm carrying on/never mind if i'm showin' off/ i was just
frontin'/you know i want you babe/
I'm ready to get it on/unless you don't care at all/but you know i want
ya/you should stop frontin' babe/

Excellent cover of a criminally under-appreciated song. The guitar strumming gives it a really great energy that is totally different from the kinda laid-back vibe of the original.
