[English]

It's been too long, celibacy

What do you want? Tell it to me

Dropped to my knees

Let me break your streak, I'm begging you, please

'Cause it's been four months, and two weeks, and 36 hours

And eight minutes since you've been pleased

So please, please, give me that opportunity

To get you right where you need to be

Is this what you want? Is this what you want?

Is this what you want? Is this what you want?

Is this what you want?

I'm on call for these type of things

Pour me a shotty, let it flow through my body

Flow through my body, flow through my body

Is this what you want?

Mdrn Must is all in our cup

We got a lot of things to discuss

Like these men you know you can't trust

Or these girls that just don't give me enough

Fuck, I guess it's up and it's stuck

We're not like them, baby, and they're not like us, either one

Raj keeps on bringing that bottle and topping you up (showtime)

Got you talking so tough while I'm calling your bluff

It's been too long, celibacy

What do you want? Tell it to me (Yeah)

Yeah (Uh)

The concept of you and I (I)

Take it one night at a time (A time)

Heart, body, and your mind (Oh, ooh)

I love that we intertwined

And I learned from mistakes I made with girls that made it worse (Come on now)

You'll never take our kids away from me, we'd make it work

Girl, I'm focused, and I'm mesmerized (Mesmerized)

Eyes starin' at the prize (The prize)

Life is good between your thighs (Between your thighs)

Shake 'til you're paralyzed (Paralyzed, uh)

I'm rocking you straight to sleep (Okay, to sleep)

Love having you so weak (So weak, oh my)

I know what you really like (What you like)

I know what you really like (What you like)

I know what you really like

I know

Ayy, ayy
