[Verse 1] It's been about a month and twenty days And we're going 'round and 'round playing silly games Now you're saying, "Slow it down, not right now" Then you wink at me and walk away
[Pre-Chorus] Let it be, let it be, let it be known Hold on, don't go Touching and teasing me, telling me "no" But this time I need to feel you
[Verse 2] Movida was the club on the Saturday You actin' like a diva sayin' you don't wanna pay It's gotta be ya feisty style, raised eyebrow I love it when you look at me that way Now we're in, you order a Mojito at the bar You re-apply lippy 'cause it came off on the glass The DJ plays your favourite song, Kanye's on Now ya beckoning for me to dance
[Pre-Chorus] Mmm, pullin' me, pullin' me, pullin' me close Just close your eyes, girl (Close your eyes) Whispering, tellin' me we gotta go Won't you take me home? I wanna ride it
[Chorus] Ride it, we're all alone Ride it, just lose control Ride it, ride it, come touch my soul Ride it, ride it, let me feel you (Baby, let me feel you) Ride it, turn the lights down low Ride it, from head to toe Ride it, ride it, touch my soul Ride it, ride it, let me feel you
[Verse 3] Everything was right until her phone began to ring She takes it to the corner, that's when I start wondering I can hear her shouting, banging fists against the door Yelling, "Yo, it's over, I can't take it anymore" Then I walk away and act all nonchalant and chill I ain't tryna get all caught up in her mess, for real But she came on out and backed me up against the wall She said, "I know you're hurt, but I'll make you forget it all"
[Chorus] Baby let me feel you Ride it, we're all alone (Ooh-ooh) Ride it, just lose control (Lose control) Ride it, ride it, come touch my soul (Come touch my soul) Ride it, ride it, let me feel you (Let me feel you) Ride it, turn the lights down low (Turn the lights down low) Ride it, from head to toe (From head to toe) Ride it, ride it, touch my soul Ride it, ride it, let me feel you
