[Hook]
[Verse 3 : LL Cool J]
Take a ride, look down in my eyes
Flooded like my chain I can drown in your thighs
A little bit of pain brings joy to your life
Lay your head back, relax and get right
Souls unified beneath the moonlight
It’s only✦ you and i, no other invites
I wanna see you naked, watch you take it
Come here… so are you
[Hook] x 2
