[Intro]
What do you think baby

[Verse 1]
I know I want you
And you know you want me
But can you promise please
You'll say yes to me
I love how you think
You think oh so deep
And share your thoughts with me
I buzz then fall asleep

[Hook]
Do you really even love me
If you do there is no pain
Do I really even love you
Or do I really love your brain, brain
I just love your brain, brain

[Verse 2]
Girl unlatch your bra
But first unlatch your jaw
It's cool to call me dog
But your head is under my paw
Soon as your lips part
Then your tongue it starts
My pulse just races hard
Enough to pop my heart
I'm so high

[Hook]
Do you really even love me
If you do there is no pain
Do I really even love you
Or do I really love your brain, brain
I just love your brain, brain

[Bridge]
Yeah, hands up, if you feel like that
Yeah, hands up, if you feel like that
Yeah, hands up, if you feel like that
Hey, huh, hey, what?
Yeah, hands up, if you feel like that
Yeah, hands up, if you feel like that
Yeah, hands up, if you feel like that
Hey, huh, hey, what?

[Verse 3]
The things you think on me
The games you play on me
And stay the day on me
The words you say on me
When we party hop
Bathroom countertop
Or in your old man's truck
Grocery parking lot

[Hook]
Do you really even love me
If you do there is no pain
Do I really even love you
Or do I really love your brain, brain
I just love your brain, brain
I just love your brain, brain
I just love your brain, brain

N.E.R.D. (officially stylized as NER*D, as seen on their covers) is a backronym that stands for No-One Ever Really Dies.

N.E.R.D. is a hip-hop and rock band whose members include Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, also known as The Neptunes, and Shae Haley. The band was formed as a side project by the Neptunes in 1999. Williams and Hugo had known each other since 1985 when they were 12, and they met Shae Haley a few years later in high school. Hugo and Williams signed a deal when they graduated high school in 1992 and eventually, Hailey joined them when N.E.R.D. was formed.

In September 2001 the band released their first album, In Search Of in Europe. They used digital production for the project but when they prepared for the worldwide release a year later they opted to re-record the album with a live funk rock band known as Spymob. Two years later in March of 2004, they released their second album, Fly or Die. Unfortunately, the two albums didn’t have nearly as much success as The Neptunes production work—collectively the two albums barely broke a million copies sold. In 2005 the group supposedly disbanded because of a dispute with Virgin Records, but Pharrell contradicted this claim in an April 2008
