Tinashe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got my edges sweatin' out
Turn it up extra loud (oh-ohh)
Yeah, tonight we steppin' out
Been a minute since I found
Someone who could hold it down (oh-ohh)
What you really talkin' 'bout?
I been sendin' dirty pics
Watch it bouncin' on the ground
Got my edges sweatin' out
Bou-bouncin' on the ground
(Bou-bouncin' on the ground)
Oh (oh-ohh)

Got that magic touch, you can call me Midas
This is what it's like when you're on my list
Shoot don't miss
Love it how it feels when we're just vibin'
Don't fight it
Cancelled all my plans, all the side chicks
I know what I want so come try this
Baby, read my lips
Lemme make your night, top it off with a kiss
Oh, oh, babe, you know
Who said it was over? (Bou-bouncin' on the ground)
Can't get any closer now (oh-ohh)
Kiss me 'til my legs give out (oh)
Life's been heavy
But I'm ready if you're ready (oh-ohh)
(If you're ready) oh-whoa
No, whoa (oh-ohh)
Baby, I'll (baby, I'll)
Make it right (ohh)
(Oh-ohh) ohh
Before the end of the night
(Baby, just, baby, just like this)
Just like this
Got that magic touch, you can call me Midas
This is what it's like when you're on my list
Shoot don't miss
Love it how it feels when we're just vibin'
Don't fight it
Cancelled all my plans, all the side chicks
I know what I want so come try this
Baby, read my lips
Lemme make your night, top it off with a kiss
Watch it bouncin' on the ground
Got my edges sweatin' out
Turn it up extra loud (oh-ohh)
Yeah, tonight we steppin' out
Been a minute since I found
Someone who could hold it down (oh-ohh)

I want artists to make slowed versions of their own songs a standard practice. Or they could include a slowed version of their albums as a bonus for deluxe/special edition releases.
