★ Lyrics ★

I love it when they try to get intimate
Even though they know I really ain't into it
(You're not into it?)
I'm not into it
I already know the game and I've been through it
See I buy my own bags, my boots, my jeans
Wear LaRok with my Rebel Yell underneath
You wanna step to me?
Said you got a long way to go
Rock with me now

You claim that you're so hot
And you say you got skills in the bedroom
You try to flirt when you're so not
Had a chance you still never come through
You say you wanna come see me
'Cause you know your girlfriend wanna be me
Imma tell you why you can't
Said you got a long way to go
Say you wanna love me?

Wanna love me? Wanna touch me?
Think twice 'cause you got a long way to go
Don't know how to act, better fall back
It's like that 'cause you got a long way to go
It's not that deep, take it easy
You wanna please me? Got a long way to go
I'ma bad girl, you wanna get close?
Ease up 'cause you got a long way

I love it when they try to get scandalous
Even though they know they really can't handle it
(They can't handle it?)
They can't handle it
Try and take me out to dinner, I'll cancel it
If you really wanna know me first of all
You should never try to get too personal
'Cause I'm in it when I say
That you got a long way to go

You claim that you're so hot
And you say you got skills in the bedroom
You try to flirt when you're so not
Had a chance you still never come through
You say you wanna come see me
'Cause you know your girlfriend wanna be me
I'ma tell you why you can't
Said you got a long way to go
Say you wanna love me?

Wanna love me? Wanna touch me?
Think twice 'cause you got a long way to go
Don't know how to act, better fall back
It's like that 'cause you got a long way to go
It's not that deep, take it easy
You wanna please me? Got a long way to go
I'ma bad girl, you wanna get close?
Ease up 'cause you got a long way

You claim that you're so hot
And you say you got skills in the bedroom
You try to flirt when you're so not
Had a chance you still never come through
You say you wanna come see me
'Cause you know your girlfriend wanna be me
Said you got a long way to go
Say you wanna love me?

Wanna love me? Wanna touch me?
Think twice 'cause you got a long way to go
Don't know how to act, better fall back
It's like that 'cause you got a long way to go
It's not that deep, take it easy
You wanna please me? Got a long way to go
I'ma bad girl, you wanna get close?
Ease up 'cause you got a long way

Wanna love me? Wanna touch me?
Think twice 'cause you got a long way to go
Don't know how to act, better fall back
It's like that 'cause you got a long way to go
It's not that deep, take it easy
You wanna please me? Got a long way to go
Said you got a long way to go

Rock with me now
Got a long way to go
Better fall back
Said you got a long way to go

At first, I was like, who the F is this? I didn't suggested her. I don't even know who she is.

Dunno why I added her nickname, but I could remember having this name for her newer songs, so therefore there's this possibility to see one of her newer songs or just go with her older and more popular songs.

I haven't been updated with Cassie for a long time now. But if there's a better song of her, you can choose it instead.

Today, our previous edition's runner-upper, Connecticut's R'n'B musician, Cassie will now be the eighth SaS-entrant to be having a Song Selection.
All of her 3 participating songs are hit singles.

Currently she will be waiting for your votes to come, when she has revealed her songs just now!

This will help her finding out which charting hit single of hers deserved its best to be the final representing entry
for her and for the US state of Connecticut




ENTRY NO. 1


"KING OF HEARTS"

Written by Jay Singh, John J. Conte Jr., Raelene Arreguin, and produced by J2

"King of Hearts" is a dance-pop and electro-dance song.
The song incorporates elements of several musical genres such as electronic music,
europop, eurodance and contemporary R&B. It features the use of echoing vocal
effects Mix/Mastered by Its Hott 2 Productions and a fast
backbeat while running through a four-on-the-floor rhythm and playing over
a bouncy beat. It begins with staccato electro synths and handclaps then
follows with "thudding, slightly syncopated" drum programming. The synth
arrangements escalate throughout the song. The song's musical structure has
been compared to Janet Jackson's "Rock with U" and Kelis' electro-dance
album Flesh Tone. The beats have been described as jungle-sounding while Cassie's
vocals are described as "cool and restrained".
Robbie Daw of Idolator.com found Cassie's vocals to be "paper-thin".

The lyrics are centered around seduction, evident in the lyrics:

You are the prince of charm, seduction is your art/ You never play my love, you're just my king of hearts.

When coming to chartings, this song didn't managed to get close to any
of the charts, unfortunately. But it was released as a digital download and serviced
to US Rhythmic radio.
