Lyrics

[Intro]

Ah!

Alright

[Verse 1]

Ain't this what you came for?

Don't you wish you came more?

Girl, what you're playing for? Ah, come on

Come on, let me kiss that

Ooh, I know you miss that

What's wrong? Let me fix that, twist that

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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 2]

I'll hit you with the best stroke

Freestyle and the breaststroke

Till you blowin' cigarette smoke

And now the bed's broke

So what we gon' do now?

Fuck it, round two now

Work it out, then we cool down, cool down

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

I don't wanna brag, but I'll be

The best you ever had

I don't wanna brag, but I'll be

I don't wanna brag

Give you a little bit of this light skin love, baby

The best you ever had

[Verse 3]

(Haha, Luda!) Listen, you ain't even gotta text me

(Nope) Knowin' me and you got that mental telepathy

Meet me up at the spot, I'll be sending over the chauffeur

Rich **** bread, stay poppin' up like a toaster

Nobody come close to me and you together

Step under my umbrella, we'll make it through any weather

Except when I make it storm, sex in the greatest form

Then hibernate under my body and yep, I keep it warmer than a chinchilla

She know I beat it up like the thriller in Manila

Flying my private jet to villas in Anguilla

Then throw you on a grill

That's 'cause seven days a week, you're my five-course meal, for real

[Chorus]

Baby, tonight's the night I let you know (Baby, tonight)

Baby, tonight's the night we lose control (Oh-oh)

It's gon' be tonight, baby

Baby, tonight you need that

Tonight, believe that

Tonight, I'll be the best you ever had (I'll be the best you ever had)

[Chorus]

I don't wanna brag, but I'll be (I don't wanna brag, but I'll be)

(The best, yeah) The best you ever had

I don't wanna brag, but I'll be (I don't wanna brag, but I'll be, yeah)

The best you ever had

[Outro]

I don't wanna brag, but I'll be (I'll be the best)

The best you ever had
