Big full breasts on my baby (Yo we goin' to Florida)
Triple weight
Couldn't weight the love I've got for the girl
And I just wanna know
Why you ain't been goin' to work
Boss ain't workin' you like this
He can't take care of you like this

Now you're lost
Lost in the heat of it all
Girl you know you're lost
Lost in the thrill of it all
Miami, Amsterdam
Tokyo, Spain, lost
Los Angeles, India
Lost on a train, lost

Hand me my triple weight

Now you're lost
Lost in the heat of it all
Girl you know you're lost
Lost in the thrill of it all

Tokyo, Spain, lost
Los Angeles, India
Lost on a train, lost

Nothin' wrong with another short plane ride

Through the sky (Up in the sky)
You and I (Just you and I)

Now you're lost
Lost in the heat of it all
Girl you know you're lost
Lost in the thrill of it all
Miami, Amsterdam
Tokyo, Spain, lost
Los Angeles, India
Lost on a train, lost

Love lost
Love love
Love lost
