Lyrics, Cara Baca & English Translation
I need a Cha Cha beat, boy
Do you wanna ride with me?
Girl, I'll take you on an odyssey
Baby, we can sail away
Up in the ocean, feel the motion
Said, I need to know, need to know, baby, ayy
I said, I need to know, need to know, baby
I know you got a fat ass
You know, I love a fat ass
I'll keep you poppin' them tags
Girl, I really don't know
How you fit in them pants
Can't figure it out
I just wanna show you off
Girl, ready, it's time
Baby, let's get out of the way
Do you wanna ride on my waves tonight?
The stars are aligned, it's today
Watching me, watching you
Do you wanna ride with me?
Girl, I'll take you on an odyssey
Baby, we can sail away
Up in the ocean, feel the motion
Said, I need to know, need to know, baby, ayy
I said, I need to know, need to know, baby
Feelin' the breeze while I take you around
Up in the sky, see the stars comin' out
Call you my girl, you know, I'll rep you so proud
Tunnel vision, ain't no means to re-route
Why I want you so bad?
I can't figure it out
I just wanna show you off
Baby, it's time
Baby, let's get out of the way
Do you wanna ride on my waves tonight?
The stars are aligned, it's today
Watching me, watching you
Do you wanna ride with me?
Girl, I'll take you on an odyssey
Baby, we can sail away
Up in the ocean, feel the motion
Said, I need to know, need to know, baby, ayy
I said, I need to know, need to know, baby
Do you wanna ride with me? (Do you wanna ride?)
Girl, I'll take you on an odyssey (take you on an odyssey)
Baby, we can sail away
Up in the ocean, feel the motion
Said, I need to know, need to know, baby, ayy
I said, I need to know, need to know, baby
