You know I will be grippin' tighter than your bankroll

So good, I make ya think the bed is my workplace
You can’t overwork me, baby don’t hurt me

[Verse 3: Rick Ross]
Why go hard when they so easy
Millions worth of ice, I just want the chick to see me
Body like a dancer, straight from the TV
She’s not fighting cancer, pink Lamborghini
I'm talking the paper that you can only imagine
Most say Phantom, I'm the first one to have it
When I look out the mirror, I can see your reflection
Rozay for dinner, Waffle House for breakfast
Better put up your Breitling 'cause I'm talking big money
And all these dimes talking 'bout is big money
Pink bottles and I got ten coming
Your life goes, look boy, I been done it
Yeah she look like an angel, but she sexy as hell
Gotta make up my mind, only time will tell
Yeah, I got her Rolly, really like how she rock it
Rip her outta her clothes, take her right back shopping
[Chorus: Keri Hilson]
Love me, love me - it's the way you love me
Touch me, touch me - it's the way you touch me
Thug me, thug me - it's the way you thug me
The way you love me, baby, you got me goin' crazy
The way you love me, baby, you got me goin' crazy
The way you love me, baby, you got me goin' crazy
The way you love me, baby, you got me goin' crazy
You got me goin' crazy, you got me goin' crazy
Love me, love me - it's the way you love me
Touch me, touch me - it's the way you touch me
Thug me, thug me - it's the way you thug me
The way you love me, baby, you got me goin' crazy
The way you love me, baby, you got me goin' crazy
The way you love me, baby, you got me goin' crazy
The way you love me, baby, you got me goin' crazy
You got me goin' crazy, you got me goin' crazy (Ow!)

[Outro: Keri Hilson]
I'm swaggin', I'm swaggin'
I'm swaggin', I'm swaggin'
I'm swaggin', I'm swaggin'
I'm swaggin', I'm swaggin'

There are two different versions of the song that exist: an explicit version and a clean version. “The Way You Love Me” originally surfaced online on November 7, 2010 with explicit lyrics throughout the song, specifically in the chorus and the bridge. The version also does not include Rick Ross. The song was ultimately re-recorded with clean lyrics and a Rick Ross feature, and was put on Hilson’s album, No Boys Allowed.

The “Explicit Version” can be heard here.

How did Hilson respond to controversy around the explicit version/video?
Genius Answer

I’m just saying what women really think and feel and if I’m gonna be honest about myself, I have to show that side of myself. You can’t have a song talking about what it’s talking about and not show a little more. It’s a love story really. Look, sometimes, this is what we want. If I’m in a room and I’m writing from a girl’s perspective, I may be a small percentage of a freak, but I am a freak! There’s a time to be that. If you’re being real with yourself—I’m not talking about giving it to everybody—I’m in a relationship and I’m saying look, tonight, I don’t want to caress. I want you to f**k me tonight!”
