Lyrics, Romanization & 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
