[Verse 1]
I'ma lay it down so nice
Tonight I wanna go round twice, oh
(Woah, woah, woah, woah)
You're about to lose some sleep
Fuckin' with a freak like me, oh
(Woah, woah, woah, woah)
And baby I'll be the best
I can guarantee no less
You'll tell me that I've beat the rest
Like, damn
Has it never felt so good
Do me like a woman should, oh

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You would be my only one
Baby take a moment just to imagine
What would happen

[Chorus]
If I were yours
And I belonged to you
Think about what it'd be like
To come home to me every night
And the things I would do
If I were
Yo-o-o-o-o-o-oooo-o-o-o-o-ours
(And they be like can't get enough of what you do)
Yo-o-o-o-o-o-oooo-o-o-o-o-ours
(Now they be like "Tinashe, you the truth")

[Verse 2]
I'mma let you come inside
Show you how a real bitch ride, oh
(Woah, woah, woah, woah)
Everything I'll do with care, yeah
Any time you call I'm there, yeah
Keep my body tight, always looking right
And everything I say I swear, yeah
Oh, no one else has got these tricks
I've perfected all three splits
Like, damn
Baby how you bend like that?
Never met a chick so bad, yeah

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And then I'mma make you fall asleep
Singing in your ear so sweet, just imagine
What would happen

[Chorus]
If I were yours
And I belonged to you
Think about what it'd be like
To come home to me every night
And the things I would do
If I were
Yo-o-o-o-o-o-oooo-o-o-o-o-ours
(And you'll be like can't get enough of what you do)
Yo-o-o-o-o-o-oooo-o-o-o-o-ours
(Now they be like "Tinashe, you the truth")

[The song then falls into "Sweet Satisfaction"]

You're just what I've been needing in my life
You're just what I've been needing in my life
Because no one can love me like you can...
It's getting later and if you want it don't keep me waiting

Cuz I'm falling for you boy in a hurry
There's something 'bout the way you move
And when I think there ain't no one who deserve me
You do, You do
'Cuz you love me with a fire and a passion
I think I'm falling hard for you too
So please touch me give me sweet satisfaction
Ooh Ooh, Ooh Ooh

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.
