Banana brains you're the apple of my eye

Stay with me tonight

Cause I'm having the best time of my life

Banana brains you're the apple of my eye

Stay with me tonight

Cause I'm having the best time of my life

Made by God

Ninji

Baby girl, you're so fine

So, so fine, you blow my mind

Look at you, coochie coo

Juicy, tushy, gushy, goo

Boobie one, boobie two

Bouncing like a Looney Tune

Booty booming, cookie juice

Gushing out your coochie, boo

You're so cute like Pikachu

Ain't no one so sweet like you

I whistle then you sneak into

My lonely heart like peek-a-boo

Now every time I think of you

Not by my side I dry my eyes

I just wanna sing lullabies

To my little butterfly

Banana brains you're the apple of my eye

Stay with me tonight

Cause I'm having the best time of my life

Banana brains you're the apple of my eye

Stay with me tonight

Cause I'm having the best time of my life

Turn up!

Banana brains you're the apple of my eye

Stay with me tonight

Cause I'm having the best time of my life

Banana brains you're the apple of my eye

Stay with me tonight

Cause I'm having the best time of my life

...

Baby boy, you so cool

How could I stay mad at you?

I love you and that is true

You so silly, you so stupid

You the best

I never want you to stress

Everything gonna be cool

Wait and see

Just hold my hand and stay with me

B-B-Baby girl, you been there for me

Through thick and thin with cool energy

You cared for me, yeah, defended me, helped me to defend my enemies

Life's weird it keeps testing me

No other girl at the bar impressing me

You like Yudu, you voodoo fresh to me

You just wanna be different

Get the best of me

It was meant to be

You were sent to me

You and me got wild destiny

You're like a little angel won't ever pressure me

Everything you do is so Zef to me

I love it that you best friends with me

Just wanna treat your heart carefully

Cause everyday I feel blessed to be

The boy chilling with you right next to me

Banana brains you're the apple of my eye

Stay with me tonight

Cause I'm having the best time of my life

Banana brains you're the apple of my eye

Stay with me tonight

Cause I'm having the best time of my life

...

Stay with me tonight

Stay with me tonight

Stay with me tonight

Cause I'm having the best time of my life

I love your energy!

(The best time)

I love it that you're there for me!
