Lyrics

[Intro]
Use your imagination
Anything can happen tonight
Use your imagination
We can do whatever you like but better
[Verse 1]
Hey, girl
I can feel you looking at me, what you want?
You know what you were doing when you put that on
Hey, girl
You're scared of disappointment, baby, but I don't
Trust me when I tell you, baby, no, I won't
[PreChorus]
I heard you taste like cotton candy, baby, I'm just tryna see
I heard you wanna leave with me, if so, I do agree
You heard that I could get your body where it needs to be
Uh, look, you have no idea
But if you're really curious
[Chorus]
I promise that the real thing
It's better than your imagination
Imagine if we go all night
Imagine if I change your life
Maybe we can run it back twice
Imagine
And I can promise that the real thing
It's better than your imagination
Imagine if I changed your plans
Imagine if you made me your man
Ooh, you don't even understand
She don't even understand, wait a minute
[Verse 2]
Baby, if feeling is believing
I ain't gonna stop till I see you gettin' a rise
And where we're going got no ceiling tonight, tonight
Damn, girl
You looking like the star of my fantasy
And we ain't gotta sleep just to get that dream
Damn, girl
We can start the after party, just say so
There's a lot of rumors, but I think that you know
[PreChorus]
I heard you taste like cotton candy, baby, I'm just tryna see
I heard you wanna leave with me, if so, I do agree
You heard that I could get your body where it needs to be
Uh, look, you have no idea
But if you're really curious
[Chorus]
I promise that the real thing
It's better than your imagination
Imagine if we go all night
Imagine if I change your life
Maybe we can run it back twice
Imagine
And I can promise that the real thing
It's better than your imagination
Imagine if I changed your plans
Imagine if you made me your man
Ooh, you don't even understand
[Outro]
Use your imagination
Anything could happen tonight
We can do whatever you like but better
Use your imagination
Anything could happen tonight
We can do whatever you like
Whatever
But better
