I was driving, cruisin' on the highway
It was a Friday, midnight, when he called me
I was thinking "Hell no"
I already know what he wants surprise, surprise
So I changed plans and made some arrangements
I won't be chasing, someone that's replacing
That's when I called my girls up
We about to hit the club up
Tonight's the night (let's go)
You can miss me all you want
But I'm not coming over (that's right)
Tonight I'm doing me
I'll call you in the morning (that's right)
Hanging with my girls
Until the break of dawn (that's right)
You can't tell me no
'Cause I can do what I want (that's right)
Tonight I'm having fun
Tonight I'm going out
Let's ride up in a party
All night long
I'm turning off my phone
So we can get it on
Oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh-ooh
He kept sending e-mails
Asking for details (hey)
"When are you leaving?"
"When will you get here?" (Hey)
Kept calling my cell phone
I send him straight to voice mail
Leave a message
I usually call back
This time I won't fall back
I know what the real be
You just wanna see me
'Cause he wanna
Tap, to tap, tap, tap, tap (that booty)
But he's not gonna get (that booty)
If he think that it's like that uh)
He can think that's nothing
You can miss me all you want
But I'm not coming over (that's right)
Tonight I'm doing me
I'll call you in the morning (that's right)
Hanging with my girls
Until the break of dawn (that's right)
You can't tell me no
'Cause I can do what I want (that's right)
Tonight I'm having fun
Tonight I'm going out
Let's ride up in a party
All night long
I'm turning off my phone
So we can get it on
Oh-ooh, oh-ooh, oh-ooh
I got my hands up on my back, back
Take it to the flow, flow
We gon' ride on out, that's right
Take it down low, that's right
What's up? I'm hot tonight
What's up? We in the spot tonight
What's up? That's right, that's right, that's right
Like this, uh this, like that, that, that
John, drop the beat and bring it back, back, back
What's up? What's up? That's right, that's right
You like it? I like it
You love it? I love it
You want it? You want it?
What's up? What's up?
You can miss me all you want
But I'm not coming over (that's right)
Tonight I'm doing me
