Sunshine pouring right into my window.
Cool drink of water in the summer,
Better than the other, hm, side of the pillow.
You're everything that I'm not, and then a cherry on top,
Yeah, girl, I gotta see you tonight,
Yeah, I'm taking you out 'cause damn baby I'm proud.
Ey oh ey oh, when a guy like me
Ey oh ey oh, gets a girl like you
Yeah, you better know we're going to take it downtown,
Showin' everybody what I'm crazy about.
Ey oh ey oh, anywhere we go, ey oh ey oh, gotta let 'em all know.
And I'mma tattoo your name on my arm,
Baby I just wanna show you off.
Yeah, show you off
You got a boy feelin' lucky, hm how you love me,
And you're making my heart go
Ticking like a time bomb, baby when the top drops,
And I'm watchin' your hair blow
No I don't wanna miss another kiss on your lips,
Yeah, girl I gotta see you tonight.
Pick you up about 8, countin' down I can't wait.
Ey oh ey oh, when a guy like me
Ey oh ey oh, gets a girl like you
Yeah, you better know we're going to take it downtown,
Showin' everybody what I'm crazy about.
Ey oh ey oh, anywhere we go, ey oh ey oh, gotta let 'em all know.
