## Lyrics

**[Intro]**

Ayy

**[Verse 1]**

Pull up, pull up on me, ayy-ayy

Might just recline the seat when I want it

Give you a set of keys 'cause you own it

Pull up, pull up on me, ayy-ayy

No second guessing, checking the rearview

Ain't looking back unless it's right at you

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Make me wanna stay through the night

I will never leave from by your side

Don't you know you got a ride or die

Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm

Even when I miss you on the road

You should know I'm always in control

'Cause the one thing I already know

**[Chorus]**

No, I don't feel the need to test drive nothing

Test drive nothing

Baby, I'm sold on you, so I don't ever gotta

Tеst drive nothing (Oh, oh-oh)

Test drive nothing (My baby)

It's in thе way you do it, I don't ever gotta baby

**[Verse 2]**

I drop the top on that body

That's candy paint on my body

I'm thinkin' 'bout the way I feel on you

If you want, say, "I do" (I do)

I'll floor it (I'll floor it)

Just say the word, you know I'm yours (I'm yours)

Just drop a pin and don't reverse (Oh)

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Make me wanna stay through the night (Ooh-ooh)

I will never leave from by your side (Leave from by your side)

Don't you know you got a ride or die

Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm

Even when I miss you on the road

You should know I'm always in control

'Cause the one thing I already know

**[Chorus]**

No, I don't feel the need to test drive nothing (No, babe)

Test drive nothing

Baby, I'm sold on you, so I don't ever gotta

Test drive nothing

Test drive nothing

It's in the way you do it, I don't ever gotta baby
