It’s getting hard to bite my tongue
Making me feel so dumb
Can’t explain it, feel so numb
So let me think about it, um, ’bout it, ’bout it
Ooh, ooh, I’m thinking how to say
Ooh, ooh, a million different ways
Ooh, ooh, I’m thinking how to say
Let’s get up out this place, yeah
I promise I won’t bite my tongue
Oh whoa, ha
I promise I won’t bite my tongue, hey, hey
Oh whoa, hey, hey
Girl, I’m not tryna kiss and run
I shoot it off like a gun
Bang, bang, I would kill for you, I live for the thrill of you, mm
And I’ma not tryna do you wrong
Ooh, ooh, I’m thinking how to say (ooh, ooh, to say, say, oh na na na na)
Ooh, ooh, a million different ways (ways)
Ooh, ooh, I’m thinking how to say (say, yeah)
Let’s get up out this place, yeah
We can take it London to LA, hey, hey
I promise I won’t bite my tongue, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh whoa, hey, hey, oh whoa, hey, hey, hey
Oh whoa, oh whoa
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Girl, I would kill for you, I live for the thrill of you, mm
And I’ma not tryna do you wrong
Baby, I promise not to bite my tongue
Ooh, whoa, whoa, oh na na na, yeah
Bite my tongue, on you, baby
And I’m not tryna do you wrong
