Yeah, wassup, baby? (Yeah)
Let me ask you a question, don’t tell nobody
Think you got no love? (Huh) Making love
Watching the sunrise (Ha ha), while Chris sings us a verse
Hey there pretty lady, saw you at the bar and I was mesmerized
You might think it sounds crazy, but I ain’t never been a man to lie
Girl, I don’t think you’re ready ’cause you can’t keep a secret very well
And ayy, girl, if you let me, I might give you something to go and tell
Ayy
Yeah, I can just see it now
Tryna hold it in, tryna keep it down
But you keep screaming out, “Ooh”
You’re gonna wanna tell somebody
You’re gonna wanna tell everybody
You’re gonna wanna tell somebody
You’re gonna wanna tell everybody
And turn the lights down low, girl
‘Cause you know that I be waiting on you
Won’t you hold me close, girl?
I’ma show you I got something to prove
So go ahead tell all your girls, yeah, you tell ’em that I put it down
They all gon’ want a piece of this, so you better keep it to yourself, oh
Yeah, I can just see it now
Tryna hold it in, tryna keep it down
But you keep screaming out, “Ooh”
You’re gonna wanna tell somebody
You’re gonna wanna tell everybody (Tell, tell)
You’re gonna wanna tell somebody (Oh-oh)
You’re gonna wanna tell everybody (Oh-oh)
You’re gonna wanna tell somebody (Tell somebody)
You’re gonna wanna tell everybody
You’re gonna wanna tell somebody (So go and tell it, girl, go and tell it, girl)

And how it makes you feel, oh (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
