When I pull you to the side
Girl, I think you might like what I’m sayin’ (What I’m sayin’)
Patient all night, too grown to be shy (You know what I want)
Need to be mine, stop playin’ (I need you to be mine)
I said this Henny got me geekin’
Lookin’ at my watch and it said, “Demon”, oh my God
Jumpin’ off the deep end (Deep end)
Either I’m in love or, yeah, this drink is way too strong
Girl, you got me fiendin’
When I holla at you, lookin’ for a reason just to talk
‘Fore you think about leavin’
Gotta get you home with me tonight
Come and see how this Lambo drive
One-twenty up the East side
With me, we do what we want to (Yeah, talk to me)
I think you ready (Let’s go)
It seems like you ready (Let’s go)
Girl, I’ve been in love with you all night
Girl, God really flexed on you (Huh-huh)
They really slept on you (Huh-huh)
But girl, I’m so pressed on you
And I can’t even play it off
God really flexed on you (Huh-huh)
Niggas really slept on you (Huh-huh)
Girl, I’m really pressed on you
And I can’t even play it off
Honestly, I think that we could use a little
Privacy, nobody in our business
Tryna see, who I’m with and where I’m with em’
Honestly, no, I don’t wanna hear it
I gotta make a few plans or somethin’
So do you got a man or somethin’?
And if you do, baby, he don’t gotta know
But either way, I can’t really let you go
I think you ready
It seems like you ready
Girl, I’ve been in love with you all night, yeah, yeah
Girl, God really flexed on you (Huh-huh, on you)
They really slept on you (Huh-huh, on you)
But girl, I’m so pressed on you
And I can’t even play it off
God really flexed on you (Huh-huh)
Niggas really slept on you (Huh-huh)
Girl, I’m really pressed on you
And I can’t even play it off
If you want we can stay or our friends can leave
If you want we can hang, just you and me
If you want me, shorty, gotta pull up on me
‘Cause I want you, and I can’t play no, I can’t play it off
Girl, God really flexed on you (Huh-huh, hey, huh)
They really slept on you (Huh-huh, yeah, yeah)
But girl, I’m so pressed on you
And I can’t even play it off (I can’t play it off)
God really flexed on you (Huh-huh)
Niggas really slept on you (Huh-huh, yeah, yeah)
Girl, I’m really pressed on you
And I can’t even play it off (Off)
