Frustration (watching you dance)
Hesitation (to get in them pants)
Come closer baby (so I can touch)
One question, Am I moving too fast?

'Cause I ain't leaving alone, feel like I could be outer-space
We both know that we're grown
That's why I wanna know

How many drinks would it take you to leave with me?
Yeah you look good, and I got money but I don't wanna waste my time
Back of my mind, I'm hoping you say two or three
You look good, we came to party, but I don't wanna waste my time

Temptation (is calling your name)
Sweet persuasion, oh (baby this is a game)
Come closer baby (if you like what you hear)
Impassioned (is what I'm making you feel)

Cause' I ain't leaving alone, I feel like I could be outer-space
We both know that we're grown
That's why I wanna know

How many drinks would it take you to leave with me?
Yeah you look good, and I got money but I don't wanna waste my time
Back of my mind, I'm hoping you say two or three
You look good, we came to party, but I don't wanna waste my time
Waste my time

No no no
I ain't judging if you do decide that you might be fucking tonight
What?
More power to you if you do decide that you might be fucking tonight
Let me dig that out like a foxhole
Damn baby, dat ass is colossal
Pilates and milk did that body so good
You got in them pants? I wish I could
How many drinks would it take you to leave with me? (oh, well, well)
You look good, and we came to party, but I don't wanna waste my time (oh no)
Back of my mind, I'm hoping you say two or three (Agree?, Yeah)
Indeed you look, and we came to party, but I don't wanna waste my time

Or waste your time, or waste your time
Or waste our time, baby it's alright
Baby it's alright, baby it's alright yeah
Oh it's alright now
Alright
Oh yeah, I don't wanna waste my time,
No
I don't wanna waste no time,
Oh no
I don't wanna waste your time, babe
I don't wanna waste our time,
Oh my time, Oh whoa, now

How many drinks would it take you to leave with me?
Oh yeah you look good, and I got money but I don't wanna waste my time (Go with me baby)
Back of my mind, I'm hoping you say two or three (Yeah it's just a short drive home for me ma')
You look good, we came to party, but I don't wanna waste my time
Waste my time

No no no I ain't judgin' if you do decide that you might be fucking tonight
What? More power to you if you do decide that you might be fucking tonight
I ain't judgin' if you do decide that you might be fucking tonight
What? More power to you if you do decide that you might be fucking tonight

Let's go, shit we only live once right?
I mean, where's the fun in forever anyway?
