Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Let's go!)
[Verse 2]
Baby, I just want you to be mine
Won't you give me a bit of your time? Oh, whoa
Chasin' you, no, I won't stop tryin'
Just meet me at the borderline
[Verse 3]
You play hard-to-get
But I know you want me, too
Ain't out here looking for other dudes
So I'ma keep it tight for you
[Verse 4]
You know I'm the wifey type, bae
You know I be one of a kind, oh, whoa
Once you tastin' my ice cream
I bet you won't ever leave
I know it's hard to believe
But you got me all on my knees
[Verse 5]
(Light it up, tho)
(Light it up, tho) You're playin' too hard for me
(Light it up, tho)
(Light it up, tho) Stop playin' too hard for me
[Verse 6]
Baby, I just want you to be mine
Won't you give me a bit of your time? Oh, whoa
Chasin' you, no, I won't stop tryin'
Just meet me at the borderline
[Verse 7]
Seems like I'm comin' on strong
But I don't want this time to pass
I know you gotta lotta chicks hollerin' at you
But I bet they cannot last
[Verse 8]
You know I'm the wifey type, bae
You know I be one of a kind, oh, whoa
Once you tastin' my ice cream (Ice cream)
I bet you won't ever leave
I know it's hard to believe
But you got me all on my knees
[Verse 9]
(Light it up, tho)
(Light it up, tho) You're playin' too hard for me
(Light it up, tho)
(Light it up, tho) Stop playin' too hard for me
[Verse 10]
Baby, I just want you to be mine
Won't you give me a bit of your time? Oh, whoa
Chasin' you, no, I won't stop tryin'
Just meet me at the borderline
[Verse 11]
Uh, I'm like, you got me so on a chase
Got me feelin' so out of place
Think 'bout you all of my days
Wish you'd chew on me like fresh grapes
Not tryna cuff you or crowd your space
I'm tryna find cute words just to say
"Dang! You fine! And look at that face!"
At the borderline beside me, you lay
[Verse 12]
Baby, I just want you to be mine
Won't you give me a bit of your time? Oh, whoa
Chasin' you, no, I won't stop tryin'
Just meet me at the borderline
