[Chorus]
I, I turn you up, caffeine
Walking with a lean?
I got what you need
You need a pick-me-up
No slow down, yeah
French Vanilla drippin' in your cup
I turn you up, caffeine
[Post-Chorus]
Shake it on the floor, make it explode
Wanna see that soda pop pop, overflow
Shake it on the floor, make it explode
Wanna see that soda pop pop, overflow
[Verse 1]
Pull up, I don't wanna cuddle
Pour it up, I got us a bottle
Your body looking like a model
I'ma use you up, I'ma swallow (Oh yeah)
I see you working on your fitness
Gotta keep up when you hit this
Do a split on the (Woo), yeah, I'm a gymnast
If you fall in love, I'ma quit this
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't wanna get to know you, get to know you
Don't wanna dine in, this a drive thru
7UP, keep it up, no curfew
[Chorus]
I, I turn you up, caffeine
Walking with a lean?
I got what you need
You need a pick-me-up
No slow down, yeah
French Vanilla drippin' in your cup
I turn you up, caffeine
[Post-Chorus]
Shake it on the floor, make it explode
Wanna see that soda pop pop, overflow
Shake it on the floor (Shake it), make it explode (Make it)
Wanna see that soda pop pop, overflow
[Verse 2]
Baby, I got lots of things I want to do to you
Maybe, you'll see I'm a lot to handle
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't wanna get to know you, get to know you
Don't wanna dine in, this a drive thru
7UP, keep it up, no curfew, no
[Chorus]
I, I turn you up, caffeine
[Outro]
French vanilla drippin' in your cup
(Sonnez les matines, sonnez les matines)
French vanilla drippin' in your cup
(Dormez-vous? Dormez vous?)
I turn you up
French vanilla drippin' in your cup
(Sonnez les matines, sonnez les matines)
I turn you up
French vanilla drippin' in your cup
(Dormez-vous? Dormez vous?)

Stelios and I started this song with the melody. We were kind of stuck on lyrics. We’re both addicted to drinking iced green tea at the studio and I looked down at my drink and it clicked – I was like damn, “Caffeine” is a good title.
