Hit me hard with the lips on me
Caught me so off guard red like roses
And my friends saw our first kiss
Oh

Fell so deep
Everybody noticed
Though I try to resist
Baby you are, baby you are...

Ever since I met you what I think of love has changed
Made me question my perception everything was rearranged
And I try to fight it I don't wanna put you through no pain
When I tell you that I need a man again

Guess that, I'm selfish, I'm sorry
Can't help it need that body
Won't be here forever
Come get it now or never

Hit me hard
Oh, yeah!

Girl you're like a summer in the midst of all the rain
Since the day I got your number you been running round my brain
And I try to fight it I don't wanna put you through no pain
And I'll tell you that I need a man again
Oh

I'm selfish, I'm sorry
Can't help it need that body
Won't be here forever
Come get it now

With your lips on me, caught me so off guard

Tinashe Jorgenson Kachingwe, known mononymously as Tinashe, is an American singer-songwriter, actress, dancer, and former model born in Lexington, Kentucky and raised in Los Angeles, California.

Born on February 6, 1993, her rise to fame began with her acting on shows such as Two and a Half Men. Initially making her debut in the music industry via the short-lived girl group The Stunners—which also featured Hayley Kiyoko—she garnered attention from online music blogs with her 2012 mixtape, In Case We Die. Signing with RCA Records shortly after, she released two further mixtapes later that year and in 2013: Reverie and Black Water respectively. “2 On” was released in January 2014 as the lead single from her debut album, Aquarius, and remains her biggest solo single to date. Released in October that year, the album was praised by critics for its merging of old-school R&B sounds and fresh 2010s trends. The follow-up was subjected to much-criticised although “Player” was billed as the collection’s lead single as early as October 2015, songs released from the project failed to reach the label’s expectations, resulting in the release of an album’s worth of outtakes from the album, Nightride, in November 2016. Joyride was finally released on April 13: it features the singles “No Drama”, “Faded Love” and “Me So Bad”.

On February 18, 2019, Tinashe parted ways with her longtime record label RCA. By November that year, she inked a new management deal with Roc Nation and self-released Songs for You, her fourth studio album.
