I hit the late night function
Real late, but it's still popping
Young, rich and I still got it
You look like I should holla

Who did you come here with?
You look like you's a option
Who did you come here with?

I want you around but I know
You don't need no one
Ooh, I know that you don't need no one
Oh, let me be the one
'Cause I know that you gon' be my one
But I don't see no one but you

Can't keep my eyes off you
And I know you see it
It ain't a lie, it's true
'Cause I'm hypnotized by you
Can't keep my eyes off you
Can you keep a secret?
It ain't a lie, it's true
'Cause I'm hypnotized by you
'Cause I'm hypnotized by you

I pull up to the function
See you and I'm still waiting
It's time I walk up on you
Hey, hello, what's your name?

And who did you come here with?
You look like you's a option
Who did you come here with?
I want you around but I know

Ooh, I know that you don't need no one
Oh, let me be the one
'Cause I know that you gon' be my one

You know why, ah, it's true

It ain't a lie, it's true
'Cause I'm hypnotized by you
Can't keep my eyes off you

It ain't a lie, it's true
'Cause I'm hypnotized by you

I hit the late night function
I attended a night event

Real late, but it's still popping
I arrived late but the event is still lively

Young, rich and I still got it
I am young, wealthy and still attractive

You look like I should holla
You look attractive and I should talk to you

Who did you come here with?
With whom did you arrive at the event?

You look like you's a option
You appear single and available

I want you around but I know
I desire your presence but I understand you are independent

You don't need no one
You are self-reliant and don't need anyone to have a good time

Ooh, I know that you don't need no one
Indeed, I acknowledge that you are independent

Oh, let me be the one
But allow me to be the exception

Your presence is captivating to me

Can you keep a secret?
Would you be able to keep something private if need be?

I am still fascinated by you

I pull up to the function
I have arrived at an event

See you and I'm still waiting
I saw you and have been eagerly trying to talk to you

It's time I walk up on you
It is now an opportune moment for me to approach you

Hey, hello, what's your name?
Greetings, what is your name?

Can't keep my eyes off you
I am still unable to look away from you

And it's true, it's true
My attraction to you is genuine

You know why, ah, it's true
And you know it too
