[English]

Yeah, met you in Texas

I left you in Texas

Read your text message, damn girl you're reckless

Thanks to you, all I do is think 'bout you

Another hundred racks changed my boo

I bet your hundred racks changes too

Girl you know wouldn't say nothin' 'bout you

But you know I heard everything about you

You used to strip out of east Atlanta

Probably where you learn all your talents

Lets get back to the love making

Lets get back to the legs shaking

Remember when you said you was always faking

When you with him, you don't miss him, you just distant

Oh, oh, yeah

You fuck me, I say, "Jesus"

I don't care to say shawty I need you

Nobody, nobody but you, nobody but you

Nobody but you, single I nobody but

Thinkin' 'bout nobody but you

Spend it on nobody but you

Taking it from nobody, but me

Keep it for me, keep it for me

That loyalty is all I need (nobody)

I been tryna tell you, "Come down"

"Come down, summer's over, come down"

You say that I never come 'round

And I only get lit when the sun down, oh

Too much temptation, hard work and dedication

Summer came, I watched that ass get fat again

Must've hit that yoga on the mats again

I ain't looking for no boo, ain't no ghost busta'

She gone make it clap just like the room bustin'

She gon' dance with me like Beyoncé

Fuck you 'til you K.O. like a long day

What the sun say, when you fuckin' you say

"Oh you lovin' it" you say, "Jeez"

Oh God, I don't care to say shawty, but me

Nobody, nobody but you, nobody but you

Nobody but you, single I nobody but

Take on all your body but

Thinkin' about nobody but

Spend it on nobody but

Keep it for me, keep it for me

That loyalty is all I need

Keep it nobody, I got it for nobody

Got down for nobody

Got no love for nobody, nobody but you

I been tryna tell you, "Come down"

"Come down, summer's over, come down"

You say that I never come 'round

And I only get it when the sun down, oh

Nobody, nobody but you, nobody but you

Nobody but you
