[Intro]
It’s a celebration tonight
Something like an anniversary
And woman, you’re a special occasion
And let me tell you what I want you to do

[Chorus]
Close the door when you pull up
Play a while, while Badu plays
Break it down, pour one up
And pop the wine, girl
Tonight’s a special occasion
Close the door when you pull up
Play a while, while Badu plays
Break it down, pour one up
And pop the wine, girl
You’re such a special occasion

[Verse 1]
Tonight opens doors for you
Cook a meal for you
Even feed it to you
Oh, oh, tonight (Tonight)
Start a shower for you
Lather and bathe your body down, too
'Cause like anniversaries, you’re such a special occasion
[Chorus]
Close the door when you pull up
Play a while, while Badu plays
Break it down (Baby), pour one up
And pop the wine, girl
Tonight’s a special occasion
(When you pull up to my driveway)
Close the door when you pull up
Play a while, while Badu plays
Break it down, pour one up
(Pour one up and smoke and pop a while)
And pop the wine, girl
You’re such a special occasion

[Verse 2]
Tonight, spoiled and pampered by you
With that baby oil on you
Light some candles all across the room
Tonight (Can I turn?)
Turn off the lights (Turn 'em off)
To create an ambiance
A celebration
A celebration of this precious black child
Please come knocking on my door

[Chorus]
Close the door (When you pull up), when you pull up
Play a while (Got that Erykah), while Badu plays (Badu playing, baby)
Break it down, pour one up
And pop the wine, girl
(‘Cause tonight)
Tonight’s a special occasion
(Tonight’s a special, special occasion)
Close the door when you pull up
Play a while, while Badu plays
Break it down, pour one up
And pop the wine, girl
You’re such a special occasion
[Bridge]
All day, all day
I've been tweaking, I've been ready
We're preparing for that slow jam
With that red line, like it's our anniversary
We’re spilling black love in this room
Incense and your perfume
We celebrate like an anniversary, baby
You’re that special, look at you

[Chorus]
Close the door when you pull up
Play a while, while Badu plays
Break it down (Break it down, roll one up), pour one up
And pop the wine, girl
(Darling)
Tonight’s a special occasion
(It's a special occasion)
Close the door when you pull up
Play a while, while Badu plays
Break it down, pour one up
And pop the wine, girl
You’re such a special occasion

[Outro]
Close the door when you pull up
(Like it’s our anniversary)
Play a while, while Badu plays
Break it down, pour one up
And pop the wine, girl
(Like it’s our anniversary)
Tonight’s a special occasion
(Like it’s our anniversary)
Tonight’s a special occasion
