Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm not the kind of girl you take home to your mama now
I tell you no lies
I tell no lies
Your code is programmed not to love me but you can't pretend
Oh, what a surprise
[Verse 2]
Maybe it's lust, maybe it's love, maybe it never ends
Ooh, say your goodbyes
Say 'em now
Play in my hair then nibble there all on my mocha skin
Yeah, just take a byte
[Verse 3]
Take a byte
Just take a byte
Help yourself
Help yourself
It's alright
It's alright
I won't tell
It feels so good when you nibble on it
Take a byte
Just take a byte
Help yourself
You look so good, just help yourself
Don't think twice
Don't think twice
I won't tell
[Verse 4]
My random access memory wants you to come again
No, don't say goodbye
Don't say goodbye
I saw my therapist, she thinks you are my magic sin
Oh, maybe she's right
Maybe she's right
[Verse 5]
Well, I'll just lick an angel just to purify again
Ooh, angels are fun
They're so fun
So dress me up, I like it better if we both pretend
Yeah, makin' love till we're numb
[Verse 6]
Oh, take a byte
Just take a byte
Help yourself
Oh, just go ahead and help yourself
It's alright
It's alright
I won't tell
Just take a byte
Take a byte
Just take a byte
Help yourself
It feels so good, just help yourself
Don't think twice
Don't think twice
I won't tell
[Verse 7]
Take a byte
Just take a byte
Help yourself
Help yourself
It's alright
It's alright
I won't tell
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
[Verse 8]
Oh, yeah
Take a byte
Won't you just take a byte?
Help yourself
Go on and help yourself
It's alright
I won't tell
[Verse 9]
I
Just take a byte
Ooh
You look so good, just help yourself
Ooh, it's alright
Take a little byte, take a little byte
Take a little byte
