You missing me
I really wanna feel
Yo energy
Day one
Knew you was feeling me
Knew from the start
You was in to me
How ya day go?
Working that body
It's fuego
Mix up the vodka
And mango
Loving that body

Like you really wanna go?
Where you wanna Start?
We can take a trip
Or head to the park
Hit the hotel
Right before dark
Yo body is gold
You know i love art
Yo body is gold
You know i love art

Let's head there tomorrow
Buy up the stores
We at the mall
Always answer
