But all that ever seems to do is fuck me up (fuck me up)
I'm sick of falling just to end up hurting
I just wanna have some fun
Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh
I call at two AM, and you'll be answering
Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh
Don't need no daylight love
B-b-baby can we just keep it afterhours? (Afterhours)
When the bar is closed, and you're alone
Is when I come around
B-b-baby can we just keep it afterhours? (Afterhours)
Just a lonely touch, don't call it love
It only brings me down
Yeah, we got the same intentions, you and I
We can skip the small talk, put your skin on mine (skin on mine)
Don't make my heart break, just make my heart race
Keep my body satisfied (keep me satisfied)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I call at 2 AM (I call), and you'll be answering
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
It's just the two of us (of us)
Don't need no daylight love
B-b-baby can we just keep it afterhours? (Afterhours)
When the bar is closed, and you're alone
Is when I come around
B-b-baby can we just keep it afterhours? (Afterhours)
Just a lonely touch, don't call it love
It only brings me down
(Just keep it af, keep, keep it after) it brings me down, yeah
(Skip the, skip the, skip the small talk)
(Keep it af, keep, keep it after) can we keep it? Oh
It only brings me down
(Keep it af, keep, keep it after)
(Skip the, skip the, skip the small talk) oh
(Keep it af, keep, keep it after) can we keep it? Oh
Keep it afterhours, baby
When I'm at your door, I know to stay low, stay low
We just needs our lips, don't need an intro, intro
I'ma see her when the party's over (over)
Do the things we never do sober (sober)
We can be whenever in the morning
As long as it's me that you're calling
B-b-baby can we just keep it afterhours? (Afterhours)
When the bar is closed, and you're alone
Is when I come around
B-b-baby can we just keep it afterhours? (Afterhours)
Just a lonely touch, don't call it love
It only brings me down
(Just keep it af, keep, keep it after) it brings me down, yeah
(Skip the, skip the, skip the small talk)
(Keep it af, keep, keep it after) can we keep it? Oh
It only brings me down
(Keep it af, keep, keep it after)
(Skip the, skip the, skip the small talk) oh
(Keep it af, keep, keep it after) can we keep it? Oh
Keep it afterhours, baby
Baby, can we just keep it afterhours?
Just a lonely touch, don't call it love
It only brings me down (woo)
