作曲 : Elijah Ross/Anthony “Lee On The Beats” Norris

Tell me if I'm wrong for feeling I deserve a little more

Or tell me if I'm wrong for craving what I've been longing for

Already know you got a hold on me

And I bet you'll be coming home with me

The night is young, so let us see where it could go

...

Whine me, whine me

Take me, take me

You got my body right

Take me to paradise

Talk to me nice

Come and get what you need

Follow me, follow me

...

Outside in nami tight up skirt

We outside 'til the light up

Outside in nami tight up skirt

Me not leave 'til the night up

...

Forget the time, just leave it behind us

Open your mind, don't let it confine ya

Let me remind ya (Need a reminder)

I'm gonna light up the spark that you felt in the first place

Already know you got a hold on me

And I bet you'll be coming home with me

The night is young so let us see where it could go

...

Whine me, whine me

Take me, take me

You got my body right

Take me to paradise

Talk to me nice

Come and get what you need

Follow me, follow me

...

Outside in nami tight up skirt

We outside 'til the light up

Outside in nami tight up skirt

Me not leave 'til the night up

...

Outside in nami-

We outside 'til the light up

Outside in nami tight up skirt

Me not leave 'til the night up
