Something New Lyrics

[Co-produced by Babyface and Dallas Austin]

[Intro: Zendaya]
I wanna try something, all night
I wanna try something, all night

[Chorus: Zendaya & Chris Brown]
Don't know your name, but I guess I really don't care
I probably should wait, but I wanna let you go there
I wanna try something new all night
I wanna try something new all night
I wanna try something

[Verse 1: Zendaya]
By the way you lookin' tonight
Only one thing comes to my mind
When the lights come on at two
I'll still be movin' with you
You ain't lookin' at nobody
Just my body

[Chorus: Zendaya & Chris Brown]
Don't know your name, but I guess I really don't care
I probably should wait, but I wanna let you go there
I wanna try something new all night
I wanna try something new all night
I wanna try something

[Post-Chorus: Zendaya & Chris Brown, Zendaya]
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah, wanna try, babe
Ah-ah-ah-ah, all night
Ah-ah-ah, oh, babe

[Interlude: Chris Brown]
Oh, I, oh, I, oh, I, baby
Oh, I, oh, I, oh, I, baby

[Verse 2: Chris Brown]
Hey, what you doin' tonight?
I see that look in your eyes
I feel the same, yeah, yeah
Miss your lips, girl, when we kiss (We kiss)
Why don't we handle this? (Oh-oh)
Girl, you know I need some affection (Yeah, girl)
Oh, don't I

[Chorus: Zendaya & Chris Brown, Zendaya]
Don't know your name, but I guess I really don't care

I wanna try something new all night
I wanna try something

[Post-Chorus: Zendaya & Chris Brown, Zendaya]
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah, wanna try, babe
Ah-ah-ah-ah, all night
Ah-ah-ah, oh, babe

[Bridge: Zendaya]
This ain't forever, baby, just tonight
Just sit back and take my direction, yeah

[Chorus: Zendaya, Zendaya & Chris Brown, Chris Brown]
Don't know your name, but I guess I really don't care
Probably should wait, but I'll let you go there
I wanna try something new all night
I wanna try something new all night (I wanna try somethin' new, new, new)
Oh, I...
