Come on, baby, talk to me
You know 'cause when you feel your body
Gettin' ready to let go, just let me know when

Tonight the only thing that I will ever ask of you
Tell me when
I'm tryin' to make you feel it, holla at me when you do
Tell me when

Don't keep it to yourself, you know I wanna hear from you
Tell me when
And if I hit the spot, let me know I'll come to you
And tell you when

When I'm hopin' that when your body says when
You'll just let go
When you're open up when you're screamin' out when
Don't stop the show

When, when, when, puttin' this work in
So when are you comin'?
When, when, oh, when, girl, tell me when
When we, when we, when

Girl, open up your wall
'Cause let me see who's new in town
Meet your friend
Been waitin' to get started
I'ma knock the bottom out, can we begin?

I wanna get it, I wanna hit it
And when I'm gone for a long time
I want you to miss it
And while we freakin', you better speakin'
Let me know when

When I'm hopin' that when your body says when
You'll just let go
When you're open up, when you're screamin' out when
Don't stop the show

When, when, when, I'm puttin' this work in
So when are you comin'?
When, when, when
Girl, tell me when, when we, when we, when

Here comes when
Strokin's gettin' faster, nails is in my back and oh
Here comes when
Body's gettin' harder *** is gettin' harder

It's shaken, it's throbbin', just slow down, baby, breath
Hold on, hold on, wait a minute
Okay, now here we go, I'm with you, girl, let's blow
You just gotta let me know

Girl, tell me when, I'm hopin' that
When your body says when, don't stop the show
When you're open up, when you're screamin' out when
Don't stop the show

When, when, when, I'm puttin' this work in
So when are you comin'?
When, when, oh, when, girl, tell me when
When we, when we, when

When, girl, tell me when
When, girl, tell me when
When we, when we, when

When, girl, tell me when
When, girl, tell me when
When, when

Modern tanks are versatile mobile land weapon system platforms, mounting a large-calibre cannon in a rotating gun turret, supplemented by mounted machine guns or other weapons. They combine this with heavy vehicle armour which provides protection for the crew, the vehicle's weapons, and its propulsion systems, and operational mobility, due to its use of tracks rather than wheels, which allows the tank to move over… more »
