## Lyrics

[Chorus]

I've been tryna give it to you all night

What's it gonna take to get you all alone?

I just want you here by my side

I don't wanna be here, baby, on my own

Yeah, don't you wait, Yeah, don't think about it

Don't you wait, just come on over now

I've been tryna give it to you all night

What's it gonna take to get you all alone?

[Verse]

Ooh, look at me, Like what you see

I've been feeling lonely baby, you got what I need

Gimme what I like, Tryna fuck tonight

Got an appetite that only you can satisfy (Satisfy)

I can ride it, ride it, ride it, ride it all night

Watch me ride it, ride it, ride it, ride it all night

Wanna feel the rush, Wanna feel your touch

Don't talk your talk unless you're gonna back it up

[Pre-Chorus]

If you want me, let me know

Tell me now, don't hesitate (Hesitate)

You got one chance , baby, don't

Let the moment slip away, no

[Chorus]

I've been tryna give it to you all night

What's it gonna take to get you all alone?

I just want you here by my side

I don't wanna be here, baby, on my own

Yeah, don't you wait, Yeah, don't think about it

Don't you wait, just come on over now

I've been tryna give it to you all night

What's it gonna take to get you all alone?

[Verse]

Kimmie bad, Nicki ready

Yes, we brag, we throw jabs

Bitch'll get dragged, we be like, "Gag"

Call her Kim Petty

When I r-ride, I ride it steady

Brand new Range, I just painted it Betty

I set trends from Queens to Beijing

I'm not the one that do the imitating

Puff, puff, pass, 'cause you know we blazing

When I put it on him, he say, "It's amazing"

All this cake, he doing a tasting

I send shots, get ready, they may sting

I-i-it's Barbie and it's Kim Petras

Main character syndrome, they extras

W-w-we ain't answering questions

Click on a bitch 'fore she finish her sentence

[Pre-Chorus]

If you want me, let me know

Tell me now, don't hesitate (Hesitate)

You got one chance , baby, don't

Let the moment slip away, no

[Chorus]

I've been tryna give it to you all night

What's it gonna take to get you all alone?

I just want you here by my side

I don't wanna be here, baby, on my own

Yeah, don't you wait, Yeah, don't think about it

Don't you wait, just come on over now

I've been tryna give it to you all night

What's it gonna take to get you all alone?
