Boy I got you caught up inside of my haze
And you're gonna be gone for days

Pull me in and
Breathe, once you do

Ain't no rules

Just keep on kissin' me
Hold on and baby we
Could party all night through the night
All right

You're fiendin to blaze up
And taste me
Got flavor like ice cream
'Cause I'm that chick you like
And you know you need this man
And you know I got this man
Gonna be your everything
I'm that chick you like

La da da ooh we-ee

La da da ooh we-ee
