No, no
Oh, no
See you walking 'round like it's a funeral
Not so serious, girl, why those feet cold? 
We just getting started, don't you tiptoe 
Tiptoe, ah

Waste time with a masterpiece 
Don't waste time with a masterpiece
You should be rolling with me
You should be rolling with me, ah
You're a real-life fantasy 
You're a real-life fantasy
But you're moving so carefully 
Let's start living dangerously

Talk to me, baby
I'm going blind from this sweet-sweet craving 
Whoa-oh
Let's lose our minds and go fucking crazy
Ah ya ya ya ya 
I keep on hoping we'll eat cake by the ocean
Walk for me, baby
I'll be Diddy, you'll be Naomi, whoa-oh
Let's lose our minds and go fucking crazy
Ah ya ya ya ya 
I keep on hoping we'll eat cake by the ocean

Goddamn 
See you licking frosting from your own hands
Want another taste, I'm begging, yes ma'am
I'm tired of all this candy on the dry land 
Dry land, oh

Waste time with a masterpiece 
Don't waste time with a masterpiece
You should be rolling with me
You should be rolling with me, ah
You're a real-life fantasy 
You're a real-life fantasy
But you're moving so carefully 
Let's start living dangerously, whoah

Talk to me, baby
I'm going blind from this sweet craving
Whoa-oh
Let's lose our minds and go fucking crazy
Ah ya ya ya ya 
I keep on hoping we'll eat cake by the ocean
Walk for me, baby (walk for me now)
I'll be Diddy, you'll be Naomi, whoa-oh
Let's lose our minds and go fucking crazy
Ah ya ya ya ya 
I keep on hoping 
We'll eat cake by the ocean (ooh, aah)
Ah ya ya ya ya 
I keep on hoping 
We'll eat cake by the ocean (ooh, aah)
Ah ya ya ya ya 
I keep on hoping 
We'll eat cake by the ocean (ooh, aah)

You're fucking delicious
Talk to me, girl

Talk to me, baby
I'm going blind from this sweet-sweet craving 
Whoa-oh
Let's lose our minds and go fucking crazy
Ah ya ya ya ya 
I keep on hoping 
We'll eat cake by the ocean
Walk for me, baby (walk for me now)
I'll be Diddy, you'll be Naomi, whoa-oh
Let's lose our minds and go fucking crazy
Ah ya ya ya ya 
I keep on hoping 
We'll eat cake by the ocean

Red velvet, vanilla, chocolate in my life
Confetti, I'm ready, I need it every night
Red velvet, vanilla, 
Chocolate in my life (ah ya ya ya ya)
I keep on hoping 
We'll eat cake by the ocean
