Can I make it up to you?

When I pull this up, and I pop that trunk (When I pull this up, and I pop that trunk)

Can I make it up to you?

We don't have to touch but if we make love (We don't have to touch but if we make love)

Will that make it up to you?

Can I make it up, can I make it up (Can I make it up, can I make it up)

Can I make it up to you?

When I pull this up, and I pop that trunk (When I pull this up, and I pop that trunk)

Can I make it up to you?

...

Do you need somebody (Nuh-uh )

Who don't need nobody (Uh-huh )

Do you need this body (Uh-huh )

I don't see you hardly so

I'ma ditch this party (Nuh-uh )

I'ma bring you chocolate (Uh-huh )

Maybe we get comfy (Uh-huh )

And you tell me how you felt

I don't need nobody (Nuh-uh)

Tellin' me no stories (Uh-huh)

Just the heart your pouring (Uh-huh)

Want it from the horses mouth

Remember when you held my hand

Said, "I hear you, shawty"

All I wanted was to give that right back to you tenfold, baby, can't you tell?

...

Can I make it up to you?

When I pull this up, and I pop that trunk (When I pull this up, and I pop that trunk)

Can I make it up to you?

We don't have to touch but if we make love (We don't have to touch but if we make love)

Will that make it up to you?

Can I make it up, can I make it up (Can I make it up, can I make it up)

Can I make it up to you?

When I pull this up, and I pop that trunk (When I pull this up, and I pop that trunk)

Can I make it up to you?

...

Can I run your shower, can I fill the tub? (Baby hey, baby hey)

Did you hear about it, I'm a submissive top (Baby hey, top)

I can bring you flowers 'cause you make me- ugh (Baby hey, baby hey)

I'm a CEO, I'ma see these hoes if they playin dumb (Dumb)

They was outta line but I stand up for ya (Baby hey, baby hey)

It's a waste of time, they ain't pay it forward (Baby hey, ah)

When the bag enormous, then the pad look gorgeous (Baby hey, baby hey)

But these hoes want that, and they want you too

So we gotta focus

...

Can I make it up to you?

When I pull this up, and I pop that trunk (When I pull this up, and I pop that trunk)

Can I make it up to you?

We don't have to touch but if we make love (We don't have to touch but if we make love)

Will that make it up to you?

Can I make it up, can I make it up (Can I make it up, can I make it up)

Can I make it up to you?

When I pull this up, and I pop that trunk (When I pull this up, and I pop that trunk)

Can I make it up to you?
