Uh! Yeah...
Mmm! Yeah...
Ow!
It's gettin' late at night and you know just what I like
It's that something that you do before you go inside
Before you go inside - ow!
Want you to give attention right where I am craving it
Boy, can you feel the tension? Don't think I can handle this
Want you to taste it, cause it's tasty, baby, make it drip
I'm gonna scream your name 'till all your neighbors hear it
Oh, yeah
My pussy tastes sweet like candy
Mmm, yeah

It tastes sweet like candy (yeah)
I love it when it gets so handsy (yeah)
