I said I wouldn't stay all night
But it's 7 a.m.,
I'm gonna miss my next meetin' fuckin' wit' you
Guard's down fuckin' wit' you
I'm makin' bad decisions how I'm livin'
and I like it
We're stuck in the feeling (Never havin' anybody)
Never feelin' nobody enough
Stuck in the feeling (Never havin' anybody)
Put your hands all on me, so I

Tread carefully, no bra
Tread carefully, no panties
I tread carefully 'til I'm on top of you (Ah)
And now I

I can't front, I want you bad as you want me too
Can't front, really want you bad as you want me too
(Ah)
I want you bad as you want me and I bet it's good
'Cause you know what you're doin',
know what you're doin'

I can't front, I want you bad as you want me too
Can't front, really want you bad as you want me too
(Ah)
I want you bad as you want me and I bet it's good
'Cause you know what you're doin',
you know what you're doin'
