## Lyrics

**[Intro: Doja Cat]**

We hug and, yes, we make love

And always just say goodnight (La-la-la-la-la-la)

And we cuddle, sure, I do love it

But I need your lips on mine

**[Chorus: Doja Cat]**

Can you kiss me more?

We're so young, boy, we ain't got nothin' to lose, uh-oh

It's just principle

Baby, hold me 'cause I like the way you groove, uh-oh

**[Post-Chorus: Doja Cat]**

Boy, you write your name, I can do the same, oh, I love the taste

La-la-la-la-la-la, all on my tongue, I want it (La-la-la-la-la-la)

Boy, you write your name, I can do the same, oh, I love the taste

La-la-la-la-la-la, all on my tongue, I want it (La-la-la-la-la-la)

**[Verse 1: Doja Cat]**

I, I feel like fuckin' somethin' (-thinnnnnnnnnn'), but we could be corny, fuck it

Sugar, I ain't no dummy, dummy, I likе to say, "What if?", but if

We could kiss and just cut the rubbish, then I might bе onto somethin'

I ain't givin' you one in public, I'm givin' you hundreds, fuck it

Somethin' we just gotta get into, sign first, middle, last on the wisdom tooth

N\*ggas wishin' that the pussy was a kissin' booth, taste breakfast, lunch, and gin and juice

And that dinner just like dessert too and when we French, refresh, gimme two

When I bite that lip, come get me too, he want lipstick, lip gloss, hickeys too, huh

**[Chorus: Doja Cat]**

Can you kiss me more?

We're so young, boy, we ain't got nothin' to lose, uh-oh

It's just principle

Baby, hold me 'cause I like the way you groove, uh-oh

**[Post-Chorus: Doja Cat]**

Boy, you write your name, I can do the same, oh, I love the taste

La-la-la-la-la-la, all on my tongue, I want it (La-la-la-la-la-la)

Boy, you write your name, I can do the same, oh, I love the taste

La-la-la-la-la-la, all on my tongue, I want it (La-la-la-la-la-la)

**[Verse 2: SZA]**

Say give me a buck, need that gushy stuff, push the limit, no, you ain't good enough

All your n\*ggas say that you lost without me, all my bitches feel like I dodged the county

Fuckin' with you feel like jail, n\*gga (Feel like jail), I can't even exhale, n\*gga (Exhale)

Pussy like holy grail, you know that, you gon' make me need bail, you know that

Caught dippin' with your friend, you ain't even half man, lyin' on your-, you know that

Got me a bag full of brick, you know that, control, don't slow the pace if I throw back

All this ass for real (All this ass), drama make you feel (Make you feel)

Fantasy and whip appeal is all I can give you

**[Chorus: Doja Cat | *SZA* | both]**

Can you kiss me more?

We're so young, boy, we ain't got nothin' to lose, uh-oh

It's just principle

*Baby, hold me 'cause I like the way you groove, uh-oh, oh, darlin'*

**[Post-Chorus: SZA | *Doja Cat*]**

Boy, you write your name, I can do the same, oh, I love the taste

La-la-la-la-la-la, *all on my tongue, I want it*

Boy, you write your name, I can do the same, oh, I love the taste

La-la-la-la-la-la, *all on my tongue, I want it*

## Music video

The music video premiered the same day as the single and was directed by Warren Fu. It features an astronaut (played by Asian-American actor Alex Landi) exploring the fictional "Planet Her", where Doja Cat and SZA portray seductive aliens who "provide soulful ambiance to his journey." At the end, the astronaut wakes up in a glass tube displayed among a collection of other men who have tried to explore the planet before him.

Emlyn Travis of *MTV* highly praised the music video, describing Planet Her as "a mysterious, flourishing world filled with glittering oases, calming zen gardens, pastel sunset skies, and blossoming cherry trees that is ruled by two larger-than-life queens". Erica Gonzales of *Harper's Bazaar* described the video as a "fantastical" one that "only their creative minds could pull off." Jem Aswad of *Variety* deemed it "trippy", while Jackson Langford of *NME* described it as "sensual sci-fi". Mekishana Pierre of Entertainment Tonight noted that it was "as playful and sugary-sweet as the track itself". Trishna Rikhy of *V* wrote: "A celestial visual and sonic experience, the hints of surrealism Doja Cat constantly threads through her videos still lingers".
