Mr. Worldwide
And Britney bitch
Todo mundo, levántense
Romeo Santos cantale

I'm here like for one night
So we don't gotta waste time
I know that you feel it
My hands upon your waistline
So won't you, come closer
Let me know you're all mine
Let me know you're all mine

And I might stay tonight
But not for long
And I might say goodbye
But right now, yeah baby, right now

I need you
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mama, hey ma'
I need you
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mama, hey ma'
Girl, it's getting hotter
I can't take much more
I need you
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mama, hey ma'

When I let my hair down
Boy, you know it's my time
The pressure, it's just right
And we can do the whole night
I won't judge, it's just us
And feeling it is no crime, and feeling it is no crime

And I might stay tonight
But not for long (no)
And I might say goodbye
But right now, yeah baby, right now

I need you
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mama, hey ma'
I need you
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mama, hey ma'
Girl, it's getting hotter
I can't take much more
I need you
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mama, hey ma'

I am what they wanna be, check the stats
James Bond in the flesh, girl, that's a fact
I was raised by old g's, so I'm low key
How much you need? And you like "Baby believe me"
I'm a freak that can eat, that can beat
That can treat you like that queen
That you was meant to be
I'm the good, I'm that raw, slick on the dong
With nothing to something, to had it all
Now, mami, just watch, learn and listen
I've got a feeling so good she stay switchin'
But before I banish, she spoke Spanish
She said: "Papito rico, te necesito"

I need you
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mama, hey ma'
I need you
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mama, hey ma'
Girl, it's getting hotter
I can't take much more
I need you
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mama, hey ma'

If you touch me right
Then I might stay the night
Oh, we can take our time
I know we gotta say goodbye
I know we gotta say goodbye
But right now

I need you
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mama, hey ma'
I need you
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mama, hey ma'
Girl, it's getting hotter
I can't take much more
I need you
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mama, hey ma'

Hey mama, hey mama, hey mama, hey ma'
I need you
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mama, hey ma'
Girl, it's getting hotter
I can't take much more
I need you
Hey mama, hey mama, hey mama, hey ma'
I need you





I need you
