Lyrics & Translation

[English]

What you waiting for?

You're so sour like candy

'Til you come 'round me, 'til you get on my tongue

I just wanna go freaky

Get in my bikini, baby, come match my vibe

Breakfast, lunch and dinner on the table, we can do it all night

It's a different kind of flavour, it's the taste that I like

You know I got it, babe (uh-huh)

I know what's on your mind (uh-huh)

Eleven out of ten, come freak with me tonight

Got you falling for me like domino

Never had nobody like me before

I could give it to you on a silver plate

I ain't got all day

What you waiting for?

You're so sour like candy

'Til you come 'round me, 'til you get on my tongue

I just wanna go freaky

Get in my bikini, baby, come match my vibe

Two hands over my body

Slip in the party, we can go, go all night

You're so sour like candy

'Til you come 'round me, baby, come match my vibe

(Na, na-na-na-na, na, na-na-na-na)

Ca-ca-ca-candy, yeah

You're sour like candy, yeah

(Na, na-na-na-na, na, na-na-na-na)

Ca-ca-ca-candy, yeah

You're sour like candy, candy, candy (ca-ca-ca-)

Stop, you want a piece of this? Your body saying yes, but can you handle it?

Say what? I'm way too hot to miss, see me in the club

You better lose your - (na-na-na, na-na)

Go cancel all your plans (uh-huh), you need to understand (uh-huh)

Let's cut the tension, babe, come freak with me tonight

Got you falling for me like domino

Never had nobody like me before

I could give it to you on a silver plate

Don't you make me wait

What you waiting for?

You're so sour like candy

'Til you come 'round me, 'til you get on my tongue

I just wanna go freaky

Get in my bikini, baby, come match my vibe

Two hands over my body

Slip in the party, we can go, go all night

You're so sour like candy

'Til you come 'round me, baby, come match my vibe

(Na, na-na-na-na, na, na-na-na-na)

Ca-ca-ca-candy, yeah

You're sour like candy, yeah

(Na, na-na-na-na, na, na-na-na-na)

Ca-ca-ca-candy, yeah

You're sour like candy, candy, candy, candy, candy (ca-ca-ca-)
