I don't even wanna go back home
Hopefully, I don't leave you on your own

Chorus

Trips that you plan for the next whole week
Bands too long for a n- so cheap
And your flex OD, and your sex OD
You got it, girl, you got it (Ayy)
You got it, girl, you got (Yeah)

The chorus captures the essence of admiration. Chris highlights the woman’s confidence and success, portraying her as someone who knows her worth. The repetition of “you got it” emphasizes his respect and attraction, making it clear that he sees her as something special.

Verse 2

Pretty lil' thing, you got a bag and now you wildin'
You just took it off the lot, no mileage
Way they hittin' you, the DM lookin' violent
Talkin' wild, you come around and now they silent

In this verse, Chris describes the woman’s allure and confidence. He uses metaphors about wealth and status, like having a new car, to illustrate her appeal. The line about her DMs suggests she commands attention, but it shifts to silence when she’s around, hinting at her powerful presence.

Chorus

You got it, girl, you got it (Ayy)
You got it, girl, you got it
Lil' baby in her bag, in her Birkin
No nine to five put the work in
Flaws and all, I love 'em all, to me, you're perfect
Baby girl, you got it, girl, you got it, girl (Oh-oh)
You got it, girl, you got it, girl (Ooh)

This chorus reinforces the admiration theme. Chris celebrates her working hard and being herself, flaws and all. He wants her to know she’s perfect to him, which adds a layer of sincerity amidst the playful vibe. It’s a blend of flirtation and respect, showing he’s genuinely interested.

Verse 3

I don't wanna play no games, play no games
F- around, give you my last name (Oh)
Know you tired of the same damn thing
That's okay 'cause baby you

Here, Chris shifts to a more serious tone. He’s done with the typical dating games and wants a real commitment, like marriage. He acknowledges the woman’s past frustrations, making it clear he wants to offer her something different and genuine.

Chorus

You got it, girl, you got it (Ayy)
You got it, girl, you got it
You the only one I'm tryna make love to, pickin' and choosin'

I can learn a lot from you, gotta come teach me (Woo, woo)
You a lil' hot girl, you a lil' sweetie (No, sweet)
