It's Barbie and it's Kim Petras (woo, ah)
I've been tryna give it to you all night
What's it gonna take to get you all alone?
I just want you here by my side
I don't wanna be here, baby, on my own
Yeah, don't you wait, don't think about it
I've been tryna give it to you all night
What's it gonna take to get you all alone?
Ooh, look at me
Like what you see
I've been feeling lonely, baby, you got what I need
Gimme what I like
Tryna, uh, tonight
Got an appetite that only you can satisfy (satisfy)
I could ride it, ride it, ride it, ride it all night
Watch me ride it, ride it, ride it, ride it all night
Wanna feel the rush
Wanna feel your touch
Don't talk your talk unless you're gonna back it up
If you want me, let me know
