Lyrics

Part 1: Boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom
Ba-da, boom, ba-do
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom
I called you on a Thursday, I waited for your call
You didn't respond to me, yeah
And I called you on a Friday, you didn't respond
I've been waitin' patiently, baby
Boom, boom, I can't wait no more
Somebody else is sniffin' at my dress, hey
Somebody is checkin' for a sister
And I'm sorry you're about to get left, oh
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom
I mean I been waitin' patiently for you
Honey, I can't believe that I would lower my steelo
For the call from you, but you just won't do
'Cause you don't love me at all, I mean
I been holdin' it down, yeah, I been holdin' it down
And I really don't have to, ayy, yeah
I've been wantin' you so badly
But sadly, madly, you don't want me too
So I say, "Boom, boom, boom, boom"
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom
I'm sorry, I have to drop the bomb this way
I mean there's a lot of things I could say
I could tell you that I really wanted to be with you
But you don't feel me, you can't hear me
I, I got to make this next move
I gotta do what a sister gotta do
And if that hurts you, well, then it hurts you
I gotta make a move, I'm gonna do it too like
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom
It's all boom, I'm like boom
I'm like boom, It's like boom
I gotta do what I gotta do, son
Grown woman making decisions and choices
Utilizin' everything inside of me
My soul, my heart, my mind, my voices
So maybe in the middle of the night
When the dreams just ain't goin' right
I could use a tug, a hug, a kiss
Something strong, something fit for a queen
Somethin' passionate, someone with esteem (Woo)
A king that'll knock a sister down like (Down like, like) boom
Boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom
Part 2: Closer
You can hold me close (Hey), kiss me nice
Talk to me in the moonlight
You can take my hand, be that strong man
You can hold me close, make me feel so good and strong as steel
'Cause I am, I just need you, man
Ooh, I need to get closer to where I was meant to be
I need to be closer to where I need to be, hey
Talk to me in my ear, tell me things that I need to hear
Don't always have to be nice, don't always have to be
But I need the truth from you
Come and give it to me soon, 'cause I need you
I can't take all of this without lovin'
I'm tired of being strong all day (Hey), ooh
I need to get to know you in a familiar way
I can handle it all, but in the middle of the night
I need something right, I need you to get closer
Come a little bit, come a little bit closer, boy, hey
I need you to get closer to (Ooh)
Mmm, can you feel the fire in me?
Ow, I need to make it burn, baby
It's all about the way you do what you do
I'm lookin' for the king in you, let me see it soon
Closer, closer
Come closer to me, ayy
I need you to get closer (Ooh, ah, oh)
