[Verse 2]

Ooh, I love when you resist

Same when you make me work

For it, you know I put in that overtime

I could feel your body tense up when I bite your lip

Did it hurt so good, girl?

[Verse 3]

Did it hurt so good

When I grabbed your neck and pulled you close to me

Like I said I would?

Let me check your status, girl

Baby girl, to me you taste like you're ready

Is you ready, babe?

[Verse 4]

Baby, breathe

(Breathe)

I need you to breathe

(Breathe)

Baby, don't pass out on me now

(Breathe)

Baby, breathe

(Breathe)

[Verse 5]

I'm gonna kiss right there, don't hold your breath

Try and back it up, baby girl, not yet

Think I'm gonna start right here with your neck

Start workin' my way down

When I get there, baby girl, don't hold your breath

Want you to feel it all in your chest

Think I'm gonna start right here with your neck

Start workin' my way down

I'm gon' get down, yeah

[Verse 6]

She call me, daddy, when I put her legs near her head

She love it when I put in that overtime

We end on the balcony when it started in the bed

Then it hurts so good

We go back and forth, but still it ends the same

With you callin' my name, girl

Tell the truth, baby, I love this little game we play

[Verse 7]

But I can see it on your face, you need to breathe

(Breathe)

I need you to breathe

(Breathe)

Baby, don't pass out on me now

(Breathe)

I need you to breathe now

(Breathe)

[Verse 8]

I'm gonna kiss right there, don't hold your breath

Try and back it up, baby girl, not yet

Think I'm gonna start right here with your neck

Start workin' my way down

When I get there, baby girl, don't hold your breath

Want you to feel it all in your chest

Think I'm gonna start right here with your neck

Start workin' my way down

I'm already down, yeah

[Verse 9]

Baby, breathe

(Breathe)

I need you to breathe

(Breathe)

Baby, don't pass out on me now

(Breathe)

I need you to breathe now

(Breathe)

[Verse 10]

Baby, don't pass out on me
