Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You the it girl, hey hey, my inspiration
My compass spinnin', baby, it's the right destination, oh
Oh come on, come on, give me what I came for
I got treasure to hide, so let's keep it from the strangers, hey

Your waves, they wash all over me
Your tides, they pull me back to sea
When you bite on my lip

And hold my hand, and moan again, I'ma hold that ass
When you kiss on my lips
And hold my hand, and moan again, I'ma hold that ass

Here we go, I've been missin' you
Baby when you, go
Oh, oh, oh, the only way you can do with that girl to me

You the it girl, hey hey, my inspiration
My compass spinnin', baby, it's the right destination, oh
Oh come on, come on, give me what I came for
I got treasure to hide, so let's keep it from the strangers, hey

Your waves, they wash all over me
Your tides, they pull me back to sea
When you bite on my lip
And hold my hand, and moan again, I'ma hold that ass
When you kiss on my lips
And hold my hand, and moan again, I'ma hold that ass

Here we go, I've been missin' you
Baby when you, go, I've been missin' you
Truly gettin' me high, I've been missin' you
You make me downright seasick
Oh, the only way you can do with that girl to me

You the it girl, hey hey, my inspiration
My compass spinnin', baby, it's the right destination, oh
Oh come on, come on, tell me what I came for
I got treasure to hide, so let's keep it from the strangers, hey

Your waves, they wash all over me
Your tides, they pull me back to sea
When you bite on my lip
And hold my hand, and moan again, I'ma hold that ass

When you kiss on my lips
And hold my hand, and moan again, I'ma holdin' ass
