Ecstasy
Lyrics:
[English]
My body comes alive
When you get real close
You gon' be surprised
If I get exposed
'Cause you're like a hit of ecstasy
I can feel you all inside
And, baby, I'm on one tonight
Ready, set, let's go
I'm a rum and lemon dealer
'Cause I know what gets you out them clothes
Liquid courage makes me realer
Now you know, oh
So you ain't gotta ask me, daddy, if I'm feeling nasty
I been tryna hide that I want you so badly
I don't know how much more of this I can take
And you're the one to blame
My body comes alive
When you get real close
You gon' be surprised
If I get exposed
'Cause you're like a hit of ecstasy
I can feel you all inside
And, baby, I'm on one tonight (tonight)
Ready, set, let's go
You got on that Dolce & Gabanna
Baby, you know what you doin'
I'm tryna see what's up with that banana
That's why my mind keep goin', goin'
So you ain't gotta ask me, daddy, if I'm feeling nasty
I been tryna hide that I want you so badly
I don't know how much more of this (I can take)
And you're the one to blame
My body comes alive (oh)
When you get real close
You gon' be surprised (if I)
If I get exposed
'Cause you're like a hit of ecstasy
I can feel you all inside
And, baby, I'm on one tonight (tonight)
Ready, set, let's go
Dinner on my body (yup)
Hotter than hibachi (okay)
Baby, come and try me
Ready, set, go
I got punani, na-nani, na-nani
I got punani, na-nani, na-nani
Dinner on my body (yup)
Hotter than hibachi (okay)
Baby, come and try me
Ready, set, go
I got punani, na-nani, na-nani
I got punani, na-nani, na-nani
My body comes alive (oh)
When you get real close
You gon' be surprised (if I)
If I get exposed
'Cause you're like a hit of ecstasy
I can feel you all inside
And, baby, I'm on one tonight (tonight)
Ready, set, let's go
