Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tonight's the night, London
Ah, alright
Are you ready?
[Verse 2]
Ain't this what you came for?
Don't you wish you came more
Girl, what you playin' for?
Oh, come on
Come on, let me kiss that
Ooh, I know you miss that
What's wrong, let me fix that
Twist that
[Verse 3]
Baby, tonight's the night I let you know
Tonight's the night we lose control
Baby, tonight you need that, tonight, believe that
Tonight, I'll be the best you ever had
[Verse 4]
I don't wanna brag
But I'll be the best you ever had
I don't wanna brag
But I'll be the best you ever had
[Verse 5]
I hit you with the best stroke
Freestyle and the breast stroke
Till you blowin' cigarette smoke
Yeah, and now the bed's broke
So what we gon' do now?
Fuckin' round two now
Work it out then we cool down, cool down
[Verse 6]
Baby, tonight's the night I let you know
Baby, tonight's the night we lose control
Baby, tonight you need that, tonight, believe that
Tonight, I'll be the best you ever had
[Verse 7]
I don't wanna brag
But I'll be the best you ever had
I don't wanna brag
But I'll be the best you ever had
[Verse 8]
Okay
We start it right
And I'm yours, baby
We've got all night
And I won't waste your time
Baby, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, OH
[Verse 9]
Baby, tonight's the night I let you know
Baby, tonight's the night we lose control
Baby, tonight you need that, tonight, believe that
Tonight, I'll be the best you ever had
[Verse 10]
I don't wanna brag
But I'll be the best you ever had
I don't wanna brag
But I'll be the best you ever had
[Verse 11]
Oh, I'll be the best you ever, oh
I don't wanna brag
But I'll be the best you ever had
