Timbaland - "The Way I Are" (Feat. Keri Hilson, D.O.E. & Sebastian) ***VIDEO VERSION***

"The Way I Are" is a song by Timbaland, released as the second single from his second album, Timbaland Presents Shock Value. The song is known in part for its incorrect grammar. The song samples "Push it", a 1987 hit by group Salt-n-Pepa, and features R&B singer Keri Hilson and uncredited vocals from rapper D.O.E., both of whom are signed to Timbaland's Mosley Music Group label. It was released digitally worldwide in May 2007.

The song is featured in a 2007 McDonald's commercial; it not only plays in the background, but the viewer sees at the beginning a DJ placing the "The Way I Are" record onto a turntable.[citation needed] The song was also featured on Dancing with the Stars when Spice Girls member Melanie Brown performed her freestyle dance to the live band's version of the song with her professional partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy. The song is on the soundtrack of NBA Live 08 on all consoles. It was featured in the movie Step Up 2: The Streets where it was Moose's ringtone (played by Adam Sevani). It was also featured in the pilot of the CW's hit Gossip Girl. The song scored Timbaland his second #1 single in the United Kingdom, after "Give It to Me"' had topped the listing that April.

LYRICS:

(State of Emergency)

[Intro - Timbaland]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Remember the time baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
I ain't got no money
I ain't got no car to take you on a date
I can't even buy you flowers
But together we can be the perfect soulmates
Talk to me girl

[Bridge - Keri Hilson]
Oh, baby, it's alright, now you ain't gotta flaunt for me
If we go there, you can still touch my love, it's free
We can work without the perks just you and me
Thug it out 'til we get it right

[Chorus] - Keri Hilson & (Timbaland)
Baby if you strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are
(I'm about to strip and I want it quick
Can you handle me the way I'm are?)
I don't need the Gs or the car keys
Boy I like you just the way you are
Let me see ya strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like that, I like that

[Verse 2 - Timbaland]
I ain't got no Visa
I ain't got no Red American Express
We can't go nowhere exotic
It don't matter 'cause I'm the one that love you best
Talk to me girl

[Bridge 2 - Keri Hilson]
Oh, baby, it's alright, now you ain't gotta flaunt for me
If we go there, you can still touch my love, it's free
We can work without the perks just you and me
Thug it out 'til we get it right

[Chorus] - Keri Hilson & (Timbaland)
Baby if you strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are
(I'm about to strip and I want it quick
Can you handle me the way I'm are?)
I don't need the Gs or the car keys
Boy I like you just the way you are
Let me see ya strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are

[Verse 3 - D.O.E.]
Baby girl, I don't got a huge ol' house I rent a room in a house
Listen baby girl, I ain't got a motorboat but I can float ya boat
So listen baby girl, once you get a dose of D.O.E. you gon' want some mo'
So listen baby girl, when I make it I want you back, want you back, yeah

[Verse 4 - Sebastian]
Yea my money ain't aloof like Phil and them
And it's really not quite low as LSN,
Your body ain't Pamela Anderson,
It's a struggle just to get you in the caravan,
But listen baby girl,
Before I let you lose a pound I'll buy a bigger car,
So listen baby girl,
I love you just the way ya are, the way ya are

[Bridge 2 - Keri Hilson]
Oh, baby, it's alright, now you ain't gotta flaunt for me
If we go there, you can still touch my love, it's free
We can work without the perks just you and me
Thug it out 'til we get it right

[Chorus] - Keri Hilson & (Timbaland) [2x]
Baby if you strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like you just the way you are
(I'm about to strip and I want it quick
Can you handle me the way I'm are?)
I don't need the Gs or the car keys
Boy I like you just the way you are
Let me see ya strip, you can get a tip
'Cause I like that...
