[Intro]
Make me sweat, make me hotter
Make me lose my breath, make me water
Make me sweat, make me hotter
Make me lose my breath, make me water
[Verse 1]
Normally, I can keep my cool
But tonight, I'm wildin'
I'ma be (Yeah) in a dangerous mood
Can you match my timing? (Mm, mm)
Tellin' me (Yeah) that you really 'bout it
Why try hide it? Ooh
Talk is cheap, so show me
That you understand how I like it
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you blow my mind?
Set off my whole body
If I give you my time (Ooh)
Can you snatch my soul from me?
I don't wanna wait, come take it
Take me where I ain't been before
Can you blow my mind?
Set off my whole body, whole body
[Chorus]
Make me sweat, make me hotter
Make me lose my breath, make me water
Make me sweat, make me hotter
Make me lose my breath, make me water
[Verse 2]
Hopefully you can last all night
Don't get too excited (Ooh)
Oh, privacy (Mm), you ain't gotta go nowhere
You can stay inside it
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you blow my mind? (Oh)
Set off my whole body
If I give you my time (If I give you my time)
Can you snatch my soul from me?
I don't wanna wait, come take it
Take me where I ain't been before (Before)
Can you blow my mind?
Set off my whole body, whole body (Hayibo)
[Chorus]
Make me sweat, make me hotter (Hotter)
Make me lose my breath, make me water
Make me sweat (Sweat), make me hotter (Hotter)
Make me lose my breath, make me water (Make me sweat)
Make me sweat, make me hotter (Hotter)
Make me lose my breath, make me water
Make me sweat (Sweat), make me hotter (Hotter)
Make me lose my breath, make me water
[Outro]
Make me sweat, make me hotter
Make me lose my breath, make me water
Make me sweat, make me hotter
Make me lose my breath, make me water

I love songs that aren’t direct. People that are older know what’s about, but anybody can sing it. A huge example is “Rock The Boat” by Aaliyah. I didn’t know what she meant by ‘rock the boat.’ I love that type of writing. With “Water,” I just wanted a summer song that everybody could vibe to and ha...
