about

Ruby: This song was inspired years ago by a common behavior I had observed of women in nightclubs where we frequently played. I thought it was funny, but they had such an attitude. I wonder if in the end it helped them find what they were looking for.

lyrics

If You Wanna Get To Know Me
©R. Mason, Bonk Zone Music ASCAP

You got to look good, like you know that you should
You got to act sharp, if you think that you could
You got to be proud, not just a face in the crowd
If you wanna….get to know me

You got to aim high, don’t want nobody too shy
You got to walk tall, and baby give it your all
You got to step out, and show ‘em what it’s about
If you wanna…get to know me

If you wanna (if you wanna) get to know me (x4)

Don’t want nobody who’s a little too sweet
Get out of my kitchen if you can’t stand the heat
If you don’t cut it, honey, don’t waste my time
Cause only the qualified need apply
