[English]

Close the door, I'ma take your clothes off where you are

I turn you on 'cause I love to see you blowin', yeah

I know it's good, I can tell by the way you are, yeah

I pull your clothes 'cause I love to feel you comin' down, yeah (down)

'Cause the mattress is so far away

And my clock is watching, ain't no time to waste (woo, ah)

Since my hands already down your waist

You better show me, that you want it right away 'cause

I'll freak you right, I will

I'll freak you right, I will

I'll stick my tongue

I'll speak that language

Use my foreign skill

My hands all in your hair

Naked before we hit the stairs

Can't even make it there

No we ain't gon' make it to my bed (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I know we ain't gon' make it to my bed, no (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Tear it up when I get wasted (wasted), now that I got you naked

I know we ain't gon' make it to my bed

Yeah, speed inside, lay it down, I'ma eat it up (eat it up)

What's for dessert? Already swervin' on that codeine, yeah

While you drive, girl, get high, I'ma pass the blunt (pass the blunt)

Doin' the most, we on the floor, I might as well go down (ow)
