Lyrics
[Intro]
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah
[Verse 1]
Walk in any room and light it up, you say you like that
Yeah, I'm the type to make you wife that
Like a little bark, well pardon me, I bite back
And you ain't never had one like that
Mustard on that beat, ho
Boy, I am a mood, I sit back and let 'em chase me
Keep some distance, just for my safety
It be hard to choose, and can't nobody make me (Nobody, nobody)
Until lately
[PreChorus]
And I know what you're doing to me
So baby, I'ma do you the same (I'ma do you the same)
This gon' be just how you want it to be
Let me write the rules to the game
Real woman got you handing out all these labels
You ain't used to working with so much on the table
Say you the one for me, well, we gon' see
Check mate and call me your queen
[Chorus]
Next move, yes, better be your best
Hearts on deck, playing with my chest
Next move, yes, better be your best
Hearts on deck, playing with my chest
Next move, yes, better be your best
Hearts on deck, playing with my chest
Next move, yes, better be your best
Hearts on deck
[Verse 2]
Is it how I look in your eyes when you talk that make you come back?
Or how I play my part, and I let you be the boss even though I can (Even though I can)
And when I'm far away from ya
I still be on your mind, I'm irreplaceable
On the plane to the show, I was in the studio
Hustle out here like you do, still I make that time for you
[PreChorus]
And I know what you're doing to me
So baby, I'ma do you the same (I'ma do you the same)
This gon' be just how you want it to be
Let me write the rules to the game
Real woman got you handing out all these labels
You ain't used to working with so much on the table
Say you the one for me, well, we gon' see
Check mate and call me your queen
[Chorus]
Next move, yes, better be your best
Hearts on deck, playing with my chest
Next move, yes, better be your best
Hearts on deck, playing with my chest
Next move, yes, better be your best
Hearts on deck, playing with my chest
Next move, yes, better be your best
Hearts on deck
[Bridge]
Oh, I'ma love ya like ain't nobody watching
But if they watching, I don't mind being the topic (Topic)
Ooh, they talking, yeah, we got 'em talking (We got 'em talking)
I got my own, not like the rest, not in your pockets
And you like that (You like it, you like it, babe, you like that)
Yeah, baby, you like that (Ooh, you like it, you like it)
And I got that (Ooh, I got it, I got it)
And you like that
[Chorus]
Next move, yes, better be your best (Better be your best)
Hearts on deck, playing with my chest (Playing with my chest)
Next move, yes, better be your best (Better be your best)
Hearts on deck, playing with my chest (Baby, you like that)
Next move, yes, better be your best (Better be your best)
Hearts on deck, playing with my chest (Playing with my chest)
Next move, yes, better be your best (You like that)
Hearts on deck
[Chorus]
Next move, yes, better be your best (Your next move better be your best)
Hearts on deck, playing with my chest (Playing with my chest)
Next move, yes, better be your best
Hearts on deck, playing with my chest (Hearts on, hearts on deck)
(You like that, better, better, better better) Next move, yes, better be your best
Hearts on deck, playing with my chest
Next move, yes, better be your best
Hearts on deck (Hearts on deck)
