If You Wanna
Natasha Slayton Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can take off all my clothes if you wanna
Lit the lights down low if you wanna
We can take it slow if you wanna
Ain't no need to race, you could set a pace
But I like the way you take control
I follow you there and I do what I'm told
If you wanted skills to have
Would you give up, give your back

You don't even have to act
I can't tell you more than that
Thought I found you understood
Now feels like you really should
You don't, we don't need no drama
I'm right here if you wanna
You better make your move if you're gonna
Well I'm in the mood and I wanna
Yeah, you talk real smooth like you're gonna
And I need to wait, don't you hesitate
You guide the way, babe I put on a show
You guide the way and I act out the role
If you wanted skills to have
Would you give up, give your back
You don't even have to act
I can't tell you more than that
Thought I found you understood
Now feels like you really should
You don't, we don't need no drama
I'm right here if you wanna
If you wanna
I got it, you want it
My body, yeah
Baby
Yeah, baby
If you wanted skills to have
Would you give up, give your back
You don't even have to act
I can't tell you more than that
Thought I found you understood
Now feels like you really should

You don't, we don't need no drama
I'm right here if you wanna
