For my regretful morning

Head on my chest, hand on my ass
Up late, again
Back it up on you, breathing fast
Oh, up late again, yeah
Tell me how is it when I back it up there

Make your way to North Hollywood
Target lingerie
Kissing your lips dipped in 
Backwood tips

We can fake watch the news

Ooh you fucking snack
Fifth floor give your ass a duplicate fob, yeah
Fifth floor devour that body like corn on a cob, yeah
Fifth floor neighbors must be questioning my job, yeah

Fifth floor devour that body like corn on a cob, yeah
Fifth floor neighbors must be questioning my job, yeah
