[Verse 1: Miguel]
Frustration (watching you dance)
Hesitation (to get in them pants)
Come closer baby (so I can touch)
One question: Am I moving too fast?

[Pre-Chorus: Miguel]
Cause' I ain't leaving alone- feel like I could be honest babe
We both know that we're grown
That's why I wanna know

[Hook: Miguel]
How many drinks would it take you to leave with me?
Yeah you look good, and I got money
But I don't wanna waste my time
Back of my mind, I'm hoping you say two or three
You look good; we came to party
But I don't wanna waste my time

[Verse 2: Miguel]
Temptation (is calling your name)
Sweet persuasion, oh (baby this is a game)
Come closer baby (if you like what you hear)
Impassioned (is what I'm making you feel)

[Pre-Chorus: Miguel]
Cause' I ain't leaving alone- feel like I could be honest babe
We both know that we're grown
That's why I wanna know

[Hook: Miguel]
How many drinks would it take you to leave with me?
Yeah you look good, and I got money
But I don't wanna waste my time
Back of my mind, I'm hoping you say two or three
You look good; we came to party
But I don't wanna waste my time

[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
Aha, and what do we have
Your empty heart and my empty bottle and yellow cab
That you are likely to catch 'cause your latest ex made you mad
So I figured the perfect catch would be you if I made the pass
Pool full of liquor then we dive - in it
Knowing if I lick her I might die - in it
Then reincarnate as a fly - gymnast
Just to flip my tongue on you
This the Olympics

[Bridge: Kendrick Lamar]
State your name, live in the moment
It’s your time to own it, I see it in you baby
She tell me that she never give the first night away

[Verse 4: Kendrick Lamar]
And life is a bitch, but every dog has its day
Holla pull up, pull up, bring it back, come rewind
Pull up them big trucks, that pack come behind
Pool full of liquor then we die - in it
Pull 'em to the side, let me slide up in it

[Vamp: Miguel]
Or waste your time, or waste your time
Or waste our time, baby it's alright
Baby it's alright, baby it's alright yeah
Oh it's alright now
Alright. Oh yeah
I don't wanna waste my time, no
I don't wanna waste no time, oh no
I don't wanna waste your time, babe
I don't wanna waste our time
Oh my time, Oh whoaaa, now

[Hook: Miguel]
How many drinks would it take you to leave with me? (oh yeah)
Yeah you look good, and I got money
But I don't wanna waste my time (come wit' me baby)
Back of my mind, I'm hoping you say two or three (yeah it's just a short drive home from here)
You look good; we came to party
But I don't wanna waste my time

[Vamp 2: Miguel]
No-no-no. I ain't judgin' if you do decide that you might be ___ing tonight
What? More power to you if you do decide that you might be ___ing tonight
I ain't judgin' if you do decide that you might be ___ing tonight
What? More power to you if you do decide that you might be ___ing tonight

[Outro: Miguel]
Let's go, shit we only live once right?
I mean, where's the fun in forever anyway?

Miguel Jontel Pimentel, better known simply as Miguel, is an American recording artist, songwriter and producer. He was born and raised in San Pedro, California. His father is Mexican-American and his mother is African American. He often flaunts his Spanish in many songs. He also sung Remember Me from the movie Coco along side Natalia Lafourcade. In 2007, he signed to Jive Records in 2007 and released his debut album, All I Want Is You, in November 2010. Although it performed poorly upon its release, the album became a sleeper hit and helped Miguel garner commercial standing. Following Jive’s dissolution in 2011, he moved to RCA Records and released his second album Kaleidoscope Dream in 2012 to critical acclaim, followed it up three years later with the equally impressive Wildheart on June 29th, 2015, and his most recent work on December 1, 2017, named War & Leisure.
