Lock it, lock it, lock-lock it
Lock it, lock it, unlock it
Lock it, lock it, lock-lock it
You’re on my mind
I’m feelin’ kinda nervous but I like it
Take my T-shirt off and do it right
You’re on my mind
The feelin’, like an astronaut
Watchin’ the world all alone, just you and I (you and I)
Rollercoaster ride in the fast lane
Got the roof down, kiss me hard in the pourin’ rain
Yeah, I can see it in your eyes, know you feel the same
Million-dollar babe, trippin’ on it like propane,
(Chorus)
Caught in a lip lock, when we pit stop
Cosmic kiss, tastes like cherry maraschino
Ride, passenger seat, tropical heat
Eyes so red, you could be my Valentino, yeah (Woo-ah!)
If you want my heart, then don’t you drop it
(Want my heart, then don’t you drop it)
I’m right here, right in your pocket
(I’m right here, right in your pocket)
Pull it, cock it, never stop it
(Never stop it)
If you want my love (my love!), try to unlock it
Unlock the swag, Rae Sremmurd, Make you hit them high notes, like you a tenor, Tell the big appetite, girl, you my dinner
I know they could do you, but I could do it better
Bring me out to London, yeah (U.K.)
I can show you somethin’, yeah (somethin’)
Unlock your clothes off your body
Give you lovin’, yeah (let’s get it)
‘Cause that’s how we do (that’s how we do)
You wantin’ me too (wantin’ me too)
Your top be see-through, ooh (top be see-through)
I like the preview (like the preview)
We not there yet, girl, but we on the way (way, way)
We on the surfboard, yeah, we ridin’ waves (waves, waves)
Let’s get it going, girl, let’s ándale (ándale)
Let’s ándale (ándale), sip this champagne (ah)
(chorus)
