[Intro: Pharrell]
Let's party
[Verse 1: Pusha T]
Imagine the Backstreet Boys here with the Neptunes
Call it the rec room, play time now, holla
Pusha be one if you follow, slo' mow, low-low
Thousand spoke on the gold Impala
Crushin', love my women in couples (what)
One on each arm, keep double the trouble (yeah)
So I gotta, shift 'em and shuffle, love how I twist 'em and tussle
Sex play, next day, call me, uh
[Verse 2: AJ McLean]
Let me tell you the story
About the call that changed my destiny
Me and my boys went out just to end up in misery
Was about to go home
When there she was standing in front of me
And said, "Hi, I got a little place nearby, wanna go?"
I should've said no, someone's waiting for me
But I called my girl up and said
[Chorus: Backstreet Boys]
"Listen, baby, I'm sorry
Just wanna tell ya don't worry
I will be late, don't stay up and wait for me"
"Say again? You're dropping out, my battery is low
Just so you know, we're going to a place nearby
Gotta go!" (Hello?)
[Verse 3: Nick Carter]
Now two years gone, nothing's been won
I can't take it back, what's done is done
One of her friends found out that she wasn't my only one
And it eats me from inside that she's not by my side
Just because I made that call and lied
[Chorus: Backstreet Boys]
"Listen, baby, I'm sorry
Just wanna tell ya don't worry
I will be late, don't stay up and wait for me"
"Say again? You're dropping out, my battery is low
Just so you know, we're going to a place nearby
Gotta go!"
[Bridge: Pharrell & Backstreet Boys]
Dance
(Hello?) Listen baby I'm sorry
Dance
(Hello?) Listen baby I'm sorry
[Verse 4: Malice]
Don't stay up and wait
'Cause I'ma be somewhere late
I feel for ya if you can't relate
I take it aways, like two day stays
But look, still hit me on my two-way page
See, I'm heavy in the streets like a cream Denali (uh)
Cold outside? We take trips to Maui (c'mon)
AJ, Brian, Kevin, Nick and Howie (what)
Accompanied by Clipse; Pusha T and Mali
