Lyrics

[Intro]

Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be?

[Verse 1]

Do me a favor, pick me up, take me out later

Don't worry about no paper, 'cause I got mine stacked up for nights like this

My life can get crazy, I deal with shit on the daily

But, baby, I'm thinking maybe, we could agree to work it out like this

[PreChorus]

I need you (You, oh)

To give me your time (Give me your time)

I need you (You, oh)

To not wanna be mine

[Chorus]

Are you down to be a distraction, baby?

But don't distract me

Let me ask you, baby

Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be

A distraction, baby?

Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Chorus]

Are you down to be a distraction, baby?

But don't distract me

Let me ask you, baby

Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be

A distraction, baby?

Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be?

[Verse 2]

I need you to respect it (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Sometimes this shit get me stressing (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

So I need you with me

To keep me right and keep me up all night

We can get faded

This life can make you so jaded

So we can stay shaded

Just to us and try to get it right, oh

[PreChorus]

I need you (You, oh)

To give me your time (Give me your time)

I need you (You, oh)

To not wanna be mine

[Chorus]

Are you down to be a distraction, baby?

But don't distract me

Let me ask you, baby

Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be

A distraction baby?

Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Chorus]

Are you down to be a distraction, baby?

But don't distract me

Let me ask you, baby

Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be

A distraction baby?

Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be?

[Bridge]

I can't say I give my all

But tonight, I'd risk it all

Whoa, whoa, whoa

Are you down to be?

[Verse 3]

Are you down to be a distraction, baby?

But don't distract me

Let me ask you, baby

Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be

A distraction, baby?

Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be? (Yeah, yeah)

[Chorus]

Are you down to be a distraction, baby? (Let me ask you one question, baby)

But don't distract me (Can you do, can you do that?)

Let me ask you, baby

Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be

A distraction, baby? (Let me ask you, baby)

Do you, do you, do you, do you wanna be?

[Outro]

I wanna know, I wanna know
