Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna waste no time
I just wanna make you mine
Thinking bout a dime guess you on my mind
Shorty such a blessing baby so damn fine yea
I don't wanna waste no time
I just wanna make you mine
Everytime I find me getting lost in your eyes
Shorty so damn fine
Never knew the world comes in the form of you
Tend to open myself up when I'm adoring you
All these bottled up emotions imma pour in you
I pay attention can't afford to be ignoring you
Steady asking you for more cause I see more for you
Change my perception since I started seeing more of you
And speaking more of you, and thinking more of you
Tell you this just the beginning we got more to do
Now I don't mind, that you on my mind, as long as you mine
I can handle all the dripping girl you know my sign
So can we rap for just a minute girl you know I rhyme
I will finish off yo sentence like I know yo lines
And the tighter that we get the more we gone unwind
You must be a parking ticket cause you so damn fine
I don't wanna waste no time
I just wanna make you mine
Thinking bout a dime guess you on my mind
Shorty such a blessing baby so damn fine, yea

Everytime I find me getting lost in your eyes

Just drop ya name and ya number then we set to go, ooh

With that melanated skin you a goddess
I wanna spoil you from the jump I'm being honest
But if you got a man I'm out the way this ain't no contest
Everything I say I stand on it

You know the vibes let me show you how to smile and live life
