  • Do I love you?
    Do I lust for you?
    Am I a sinner because I do the two?
    Can you let me know
    Right now, please
    Bonita Applebum?

    Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
    Bonita Applebum, I said you gotta put me on
    Bonita Applebum, gotta put me on
    Bonita Applebum, I said you gotta put me on
    Bonita Applebum, gotta put me on
    Bonita Applebum, I said you gotta put me on
    Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
    Bonita, Bonita, Bonita

    Hey, Bonita, glad to meet ya
    For the cunning, stunning you, miss, I must beseech ya, mhm
    Hey, being with you is a top priority
    Ain't no need to question the authority, mhm
    Chairman of the board, the chief of affections
    You got mine's to swing in your direction
    Hey, you're like a hip hop song, you know?
    Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on

    Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
    Bonita Applebum, I said you gotta put me on
    Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
    Bonita Applebum, I said you gotta put me on
    Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
    Bonita Applebum, I said you gotta put me on
    Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
    Bonita, Bonita, Bonita

    38-24-37 (mmm, mmm, mmm)
    You and me, hun, we're a match made in Heaven
    I like to kiss ya where some brothers won't
    Listen, I like to tell ya things some brothers don't, mhm
    If only you could see through your elaborate eyes
    Only you and me, hun, the love never dies
    Satisfaction, I have the right tactics
    And if you need 'em, I got crazy prophylactics
    So far, I hope you like rap songs
    Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on

    Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
    Bonita Applebum, I said you gotta put me on
    Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
    Bonita Applebum, I said you gotta put me on
    Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
    Bonita Applebum, I said you gotta put me on
    Bonita Applebum, you gotta put me on
    Bonita, Bonita, Bonita

    (Sex, sex)
    (Sex, freaks)
    (Freaks, peace)

    Ayo, who's having a ball?
    And you know, they ask me to get on the mic
    And they ask me
    Can I kick it? Word (yes, you can)
    Can I kick it? (Oh, yes, you can) Writer/s: Ali Muhammad, Charles Stepney, Edwin Birdsong, Kamaal Fareed, Roy Ayers, Walter Booker, William Allen
