[Intro: Rodney Jerkins]
What's up, everybody? I go by the name of Rodney Jerkins
And on the guitar, I have my man Tim Stewart
And we 'bout to take y'all on a ride
So make sure y'all fasten y'all seatbelts 'cause it can get a little crazy, you know
Ayo, Tim, smooth it out, Tim
Right there, that's it
Let's ride

[Refrain: Michael Jackson]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Baby, stay
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Baby, stay

[Instrumental]

[Chorus: Delisha Thomas, Michael Jackson]
Won't you take a ride with me
Cruise with me, and maybe tonight (Baby, stay)
We can chill with the breeze, do what you like
Maybe 'cause tonight's your night (Baby, stay)
Ride with me, ride with me, oh

[Instrumental]

Ride with me, ride with me, oh
