Calypso Lyrics

[Verse 1: Chris Brown, Chris Brown & India Shawn]
Don't need your name, girl, don't need your number
This might seem strange but can't help but wonder
What it would be like, just to be with you
Don't need to move fast, just wanna think it through

[Pre-Chorus: Chris Brown]
Like how you hold me
And what you told me
Girl, you don't even know me
Babe, what you tryna do?

[Chorus: Chris Brown, Chris Brown & India Shawn]
'Cause every time I'm looking in your eyes
Got me thinking 'bout you, wanna take you home
We need to be alone tonight
Tell me what you want, I wanna find out what you like
You make me say, "Ooh"
Just wanna love you
Don't know what you do
Just looking at you
You make me say, "Ooh"
Just wanna love you
Don't know what you do
Just looking at you
[Verse 2: Chris Brown, Chris Brown & India Shawn]
I love the way you move, we're on the right track
Don't be a stranger, girl, bring that ass back
Know who you came with, and I ain't tryna take his place
But you thinkin' 'bout leavin' with me, it's written on your face

[Pre-Chorus: Chris Brown]
Like how you want me
How your body calls me
Girl, you don't even know me, yeah
Babe, what you tryna do?

[Chorus: Chris Brown, Chris Brown & India Shawn]
'Cause every time I'm looking in your eyes
Got me thinking 'bout you, wanna take you home (Ooh, baby)
We need to be alone tonight
Tell me what you want, I wanna find out what you like (You like)
You make me say, "Ooh"
Just wanna love you
Don't know what you do
Just looking at you, oh (Yeah, yeah)
You make me say, "Ooh" (Oh, oh, oh-woah)
Just wanna love you (Oh-woah)
Don't know what you do (Baby, you're the greatest)
Just looking at you (No, I ain't playin')
[Bridge: Chris Brown]
Oh, let me and you dance tonight
And ain't nobody else but me and you, girl, girl
My heart's involved this time
Don't know what it is but you make me say

[Chorus: Chris Brown]
You make me say, "Ooh" (Oh, girl, girl)
Just wanna love you (Just wanna love, wanna love, girl)
Don't know what you do (Yeah)
Just looking at you (Yeah-yeah-yeah, oh-woah)
You make me say, "Ooh" (Yeah-yeah, oh-woah)
Just wanna love you (Yeah)
Don't know what you do (Yeah-yeah)
Just looking at you (Yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah)

[Outro: Chris Brown]
Yeah, just wanna have you
Wanna have you
Just wanna have you
(You make me say)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

In Greek mythology, Calypso was the daughter of Titan who lived on the island of Ogygia, where she detained Odysseus for several years. Calypso was a nymph, a mythological spirit of nature imagined as a beautiful maiden inhabiting rivers, woods, or other locations.

“Calypso (Rarities & B-Sides)” was initially teased by Chris during live streams and Instagram posts. The track was released on iTunes in June 2012 as a standalone single, along with the remix of “Oh Yeah,” and later included on the expanded version of Fortune.
