Lyrics:

[English]

Mean what I say, say what I mean

Not one to play, I am as you see

I give my word

These other boys, they're one and the same, mm

I'm tryna say, I want you to stay, mm

I got (got) what you need (you need)

I'm thinkin' you should plant this seed

I get this sounds unserious (mm)

But, baby boy, this is serious

And, yes, I promise

If I'm being honest

You can get anything you'd like

Can't you see I bloom at night?

Boy, just don't blow this

Got me like, "What's your wish list?"

You can get anything you'd like

I'll be your dandelion, mm-mm

You like how I pray, the secret's in me, mm

'Cause, boy, come what may, I'm here on my knees

These other flowers, don't grow the same

So just leave it here with me, let's get dirty, dirty

I got (got) what you need (you need)

I'm thinking you should plant this seed

I get this sounds unserious (mm)

But, baby boy, this is serious

And, yes, I promise

If I'm being honest

You can get anything you'd like

Can't you see I bloom at night?

Boy, just don't blow this

Got me like, "What's your wish list?"

You can get anything you'd like

I'll be your dandelion, mm-mm

...

Mm, I'm just being, I'm honest

You know me, I'm just being, mm

Mm-mm, I promise

I'm just being honest

So, boy, just come blow this

Know I'm on your wish list

And, yes, I promise (oh, yeah, yeah)

If I'm being honest (if I'm being)

You can get anything you'd like (anything, anything, anything)

Can't you see I bloom at night?

Boy, just don't blow this

Got me like, "What's your wish list?"

You can get anything you'd like (mm, ooh)

I'll be your dandelion, mm-mm
