Boyfriend

I've been looking for somebody Tryna kick it with somebody I need a rude boy to tell me something sweet Same time got his hands up on my body I wanna get high when he take it low-low Let me feel strong when I'm taking control I've been looking for my shawty So come and get it if you got it

All my girls 'round the world, I know you know what I mean I get a little sexy when I'm lonely One thing on my mind, I know what I need All my girls 'round the world, hands up and sing it with me 'Cause everything I got, you know it's all me Even though a man ain't something I need I want a boyfriend, so put it on me I'm looking for a man who can take that heat

Want a boyfriend, but not too sweet My baby gotta be tough while he running that street Is he ride or die? I've been looking so long for a guy to turn me on I want a boyfriend, yeah, yeah I want a boyfriend, yeah I been looking like Where you at, where you at?

Where you at, where you at? Where you at, where you at? Where you at, where you at? I need you and me together I ain't looking for forever I had so much stress from my ex to the next Want you better, love me better I need a bad boy that don't bring me drama

He ain't tryna roll when he get the nah-nah Boy you ready for the pleasure? And don't you know it's now or never All my girls 'round the world, I know you know what I mean I get a little sexy when I'm lonely One thing on my mind, I know what I need All my girls 'round the world, hands up and sing it with me 'Cause everything I got, you know it's all me

Even though a man ain't something I need I want a boyfriend, so put it on me I'm looking for a man who can take that heat Want a boyfriend, but not too sweet My baby gotta be tough while he running that street Is he ride or die? I've been looking so long for a guy to turn me on I want a boyfriend, yeah, yeah
