Too hot, now this boy don't need no more doja

Leg on the seat, that's a photo

If there's no room, boy, we squeeze in the corner

Way that he talking, you'd think that he know her

Hold up

See baby, this for the night, I won't see you tomorrow

Yeah, but when I dance here, boy you better man up

Be like a museum, got you looking, boy you can't touch

Yeah, I got him speaking, got him geeking, tie them hands up

Tappin' to the beat, you wanna freak her 'cause she random

Know you got your girl here, looking for your ass

Run, faking that you loyal, boy, you playing with her passion

Even when the beat slow, I shake a lil' faster

Twerking on the speaker, know you need her in your fan club
