Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh na na, what's my name
Ooh na na, what's my name

Ooh na na, what's my name
Ooh na na, what's my name
Ooh na na, what's my name
What's my name, what's my name
I heard you good with them soft lips
Yeah you know word of mouth
The square root of sixty nine is eight something, right?
'Cause I've been tryna work it out, ow
Good weed, white wine, uh
I come alive in the night time
Okay, away we go
Only thing we have on is the radio-oh
Let it play, say you gotta leave
But I know you wanna stay
You are waiting on the traffic jam to finish girl
The things we could do in twenty minutes girl
Say my name, say my name
Wear it out, its getting hot, crack a window, air it out
I can get you through a mighty long day
Soon as I go the text you goin' right is goin' say

Ooh na na, what's my name
Ooh na na, what's my name
Ooh na na, what's my name
Whats my name, whats my name

Nor everybody,
Knows how to work my body
Knows how to make me want it
But boy you stay up on it
You got that something
That keeps me so off balance
Baby you're a challenge
Lets explore your talent

Hey boy I wanna see
If you can go downtown with a girl like me
Hey boy, I wanna be with you
'Cause you just my type
Ooh na na na na
I need a boy to take it over
Looking for a guy to put your work up
Ooh, ooh

Hey boy I really wanna see
If you can go downtown with a girl like me
Hey boy, I really wanna be with you
'Cause you just my type

Ooh na na na na
I need a boy to take it over
Looking for a guy to put in work-a
Ooh, ooh

Ooh na na, what's my name
Ooh na na, what's my name
Whats my name, whats my name

Baby you got me,
And ain't nowhere that I'd be
Then with your arms around me
Back and forth you rock me yeah
So I surrender, to every word you whisper
Every door you enter, I will let you in

Hey boy I really wanna see
If you can go downtown with a girl like me
Hey boy, I really wanna be with you
'Cause you just my type

You took the time to figure me out
That's why you take me,
Way past the point of turning me on
You bout to break me,
I swear you got me losing my mind
