Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Okay, the shoe is goin' on the other foot tonight (La, la, la)

I'm 'bout to turn you into my very own flight tonight (La, la, la)

Okay, you think you got me where you want me, I'ma show you tonight (La, la, la)

[PreChorus]

That I'm a girl and you're a boy

And tonight you gon' be my, be my man

[Chorus]

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Tonight, I'm gonna be a little selfish, be a little selfish

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Tonight, I'm gonna be a little selfish, be a little selfish

Boom, boom, baby, pick you up in my Mercedes

I'ma be a little selfish, be a little selfish

Boom, boom, baby, pick you up in my Mercedes

I'ma be a little selfish, be a little selfish

[Verse 2]

Just lay right there and don't you move, I'm in control tonight (La, la, la)

Lock you up in my room, be my prisoner of love tonight (La, la, la)

Shut up, sit down, who's the boss now? I'm 'bout to show you now (La, la, la)

[PreChorus]

That I'm a girl and you're a boy

And tonight you gon' be my, be my man

[Chorus]

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Tonight, I'm gonna be a little selfish, be a little selfish

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Tonight, I'm gonna be a little selfish, be a little selfish

Boom, boom, baby, pick you up in my Mercedes

I'ma be a little selfish, be a little selfish

Boom, boom, baby, pick you up in my Mercedes

I'ma be a little selfish, be a little selfish

[Bridge]

Tonight I'm feelin' sexual

Come on and play inside my love below

Strip down and give me my own private show

I'm gonna be a little selfish, be a little selfish

Tonight I'm feelin' sexual

Come on and play inside my love below

Strip down and give me my own private show

I'm gonna be a little selfish, be a little selfish

[Refrain]

Boom, boom, baby, pick you up in my Mercedes

I'ma be a little selfish, be a little

Boom, boom, baby, pick you up in my Mercedes

I'ma be a little selfish, be a, be a, be a—

[Chorus]

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Tonight, I'm gonna be a little selfish, be a little selfish

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Tonight, I'm gonna be a little selfish, be a little selfish

Boom, boom, baby, pick you up in my Mercedes

I'ma be a little selfish, be a little selfish

Boom, boom, baby, pick you up in my Mercedes

I'ma be a little selfish, be a little selfish
