Bounce, while I hit babe
Lost in the minutes
Strokes got me swimming see
I just wanna bl-ow your mind
I just wanna kn-ow your mine
Ima need some songs for the women
Bounce, while I hit babe
Strokes got we swimming see
I just wanna bl-ow your mind
I just wanna kn-ow your mine
She keep it soaking
Baby got me faded when she smoking
When you got me drive me crazy got me swerving
Playing with it baby, got me starting it over
Girl come over
We going pour it up, till we knock out sober
Ima pick you up in drop top,
End up making love in the hot tub slowly
Put it on tongue like pop rocks
I'm having fun when you on your knees
Manicure all on my cock block
Why you gotta run when I come play d?
Babe I told you
Ima need some songs for the women
Bounce, while I hit babe
Lost in the minutes
Strokes got we swimming see
I just wanna bl-ow your mind
I just wanna kn-ow your mine
Ima need some songs for the women
Bounce, while I hit babe
Lost in the minutes
Strokes got me swimming see
I just wanna bl-ow your mind
I just wanna kn-ow your mine
But I do
Damn I wish that I don't
But baby girl aint mean to be rude
I aint mean to provoke
Remember the times when we would be true
Back when we never spoke
Now in these times I'm thinking bout you
But you taking it like a joke
Addicted to preferably wine
Can you be wine glass
You can fill me up with your mind
While im feeling up on ya fine ass
Baby come on this side
You could feel with us
You could feel with us
But I know I came to decide
If you real with us
If you real with us
All of the times I was silent
All of the things I was hiding
You told me I was poseidon
I could see why we was flying for
All of the things I was fighting
You told me I was just lying
You was the one I would ride for
You was the one I would die for
