[Verse 1]
Oh, hi
I wanna take you on a little ride
I wanna make you feel so nice
I wanna make you feel appreciated when you're deep up in me
When you're deep up inside
I wanna show you just what I like
I wanna kiss you slow, wanna fuck you rough
I wanna eat you up, I wanna cook you lunch, I wanna love you, babe
[Pre-Chorus]
You know where I wanna be, I want you right under me
Can you just live a little, let your hair down?
I'm screaming for you, I can't breathe, turn the light off, I'ma wet the sheets
There's plenty enough for me to go 'round
[Chorus]
Break your bed and then the sofa
I wanna pull you closer
Everybody wants to know ya
But me, I only want one thing
I don't even want your number
Don't care if you got another
'Cause tonight, I'm your only lover
And I'ma give you that one thing
I'ma give you that one thing (Uh)
[Verse 2]
You look so cute with no clothes on
It feels so right when I'm acting so wrong
No small talk, that shit's too long
And you're breakin' my back, you're so, so strong
And I want you so bad, like "OMG"
Turnin' off my phone to DND
And a couple little hours is all I need
Panties still on, you can go in between me, and
[Pre-Chorus]
You know how I wanna be, I want you right under me
Can you just live a little and let your hair down?
Nobody will ever know, we can put on our own little show
Save that big-dick energy for my mouth, yeah
[Chorus]
Break your bed and then the sofa
I wanna pull you closer
Everybody wants to know ya
But me, I only want one thing
I don't even want your number
Don't care if you got another
'Cause tonight, I'm your only lover
And I'ma give you that one thing (Yeah)
I'ma give you that one thing, that one thing, that one thing, that one thing, ah
I'ma give you that one thing (All night)
[Outro]
All my life, all my life
Been waitin' for you all my life
Gonna do me right, do me right
Oh, boy, you're gonna do me, do me, do me
All my life, all my life
Been waitin' for you all my life
Gonna do me right, do me right
Oh, boy, you're gonna do me, do me, do me
All my life, all my life
Been waitin' for you all my life
Gonna do me right, do me right
Oh, boy, you're gonna do me, do me, do me
Yeah, yeah, yeah

It’s a song that on first listen sounds like I’m talking about one thing. Sex. Which I am, of course. However sex in itself is never about one thing.
