[English]

(Hola)

Back on my bullshit, I mean it

I see your number

Thank God I didn't delete it (no, babe)

I look at your picture, I'm fiendin'

It don't feel over

Holdin' myself 'cause I need it (babe)

(I'm so) I'm so obsessed

You got me checkin' my phone (every) every second like

I hope you ask if I'm home

(So come) so come over so I can prove it to you (prove it to you)

Said you're on my mind, I just can't let it go (ooh)

Pick it up, where we left off, can't give it up

I've been missin' ya

Let me know if this a dub

I said your love is like a drug

You got me stuck, so pick it up

Pick it up, where we left off, can't give it up

I've been missin' ya

Lemme know if this a dub

I said your love (your love) is like a drug (a drug)

You got me stuck (me stuck), so pick it up

Pick it up now (now), why is you dubbin' me?

Either it's me or Little Miss Ugly (yeah)

I don't see nothin' but broke bitches subbin' me

Most of these bitches can't even have company (uh)

Why can't we pick it up like a bitch just dropped it?

Pick it up like we just went shoppin'

Pick it up if that bitch keep callin'

Or pick it up like we went off-topic (whoo, ah)

I'm tryna be mad, but whenever he pick me up

I wanna put it down

And he be up in it like I think I like it

Yeah, I think I'm 'bout to go look (ay)

Ooh, why you so fine? Mine? I don't have the time

They just gotta book me now (nope)

I mean that nigga changed me, I get up and clean his shit

I even be cookin' now (haha), uh, uh

And I still ain't find nobody who do it like you (you, you, you)

I tried but the dick wasn't as good

Gotta be satisfied (satisfied)

He don't hit the finish line (finish line)

So baby tell me how you feelin' like

And when I call, you better

Pick it up, where we left off, can't give it up

I've been missin' ya

Lemme know if this a dub

I said your love (your love) is like a drug (a drug)

You got me stuck (me stuck), so pick it up

Pick it up, where we left off, can't give it up

I've been missin' ya

Lemme know if this a dub

I said your love (your love) is like a drug (a drug)

You got me stuck (me stuck), so pick it up

(Pick it up)
