Oh whoa
Oh whoa, oh
Oh whoa
Oh whoa, oh

Baby, won't you let me ride?
Tell me what you like
I can't read your mind
Bad as I want to, I really want you so
Baby, won't you let me ride?
Tell me what you like
I can't read your mind
Bad as I want to, I really want you, girl

You could be the one, you could be my favorite
We could be in love if we keep datin'
Baby, I could beat it up, I can catch the fade with it
Take the mask off, I can put my face in it
You ain't gotta trip, we can vacation
Take you all around the world and give you paper planes
If I only hit it once, it would be a shame, wouldn't it?
Tell me what you want, I'm tired of debatin' 'cause

I can do you wrong if you want, babe
Would it keep me on your mind long enough, babe?
Should I be nice? Should I be rude?
Do I text twice? Do I play cool?
I can do it all if you want, baby

Baby, won't you let me ride?
Tell me what you like
I can't read your mind
Bad as I want to, I really want you, so
Baby, won't you let me ride?
Tell me what you like
I can't read your mind
Bad as I want to, I really want you, girl

Oh, you can be the one, you can be the only
If you wanna be my girl or just the homie
I can give you love, I can play it cool for you
I can pick you up or send a pool for you
If I use my tongue, baby, would you like that?
If you wanna bite, baby girl, I bite back
I can show you somethin', this could be a lesson
So tell me what you want, I'm tired of the guessin', baby

I can do you wrong if you want, babe
Will that keep me on your mind long enough, baby?
Should I be nice? Should I be rude?
Do I text twice? Do I play cool?
I can do you wrong if you want, baby

Baby, won't you let me ride?
Tell me what you like
I can't read your mind
Bad as I want to, I really want you, so
Baby won't you let me ride? (Baby won't you let me ride)
Tell me what you like (tell me what you like)
I can't read your mind (I can't read your mind)
Bad as I want to (as bad as I want to)
I really want you, girl

Oh, I really want you, girl
Oh, oh, yeah

(I can't read your mind, I can't read your mind)
(I can't read your mind, I, I can't read your mind)
(I can't read your mind, I can't read your mind)
(I can't read your mind, I, I can't read your mind)

Baby won't you let me ride?

Da-da, da-da, da, da, da, da, da (doo, doo, doo)
Da, da, da, da

Baby won't you let me ride?
Tell me what you like
I can't read your mind
Bad as I want to
Baby won't you let me ride?

Overall Meaning

In Leven Kali's "Do U Wrong," the singer is asking his lover to communicate what she wants in their relationship, particularly sexually. He repeatedly asks her to "tell me what you like" and admits that he "can't read your mind." He's eager to please her, telling her that he wants her "so bad" and that "you could be the one, you could be my favorite." He promises to take her on vacation and give her "paper planes" (money) and offers to perform oral sex on her, asking "if I use my tongue, baby, would you like that?"


The chorus is where things take a darker turn. Kali offers to "do you wrong if you want" and asks if that will keep him on her mind long enough. He even asks if he should be "rude" and play games with her through texting. The implication is that he's willing to manipulate her emotionally in order to keep her around, even if it means hurting her.


While some have interpreted the song as a straightforward plea for sexual communication, others have seen it as a commentary on toxic masculinity and the pressure men feel to perform sexually. The chorus could be read as a sarcastic critique of this pressure, with Kali suggesting that he could intentionally do things wrong in order to manipulate his partner. Ultimately, the song leaves it up to the listener to decide whether Kali is coming from a caring or manipulative place.
