Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Baby, I can be your sweet, baby
When things get crazy
Make sure you come and save me (Save me)
With this fast car, I can really get far
And don't break my heart
Let's make out, let's make out, let's make out
[Chorus]
You can come take me away
There's no pressure, play all day
(Grab me tight, and don't let go)
Ooh papi, love you, mmm papi, love you
You love it when I'm freaking out
Things get rough and there's no doubt
(You will always be there for me)
Mmm papi love you, mmm papi, love you
[Verse 2]
Stuck in the middle of it all
Too many people around me
Can you hear me call?
I look this way, and you're not there
If you don't mind, my soul out there
[Interlude]
Mmm papi, mmm papi, mmm papi
[Chorus]
You can come take me away
There's no pressure, play all day
(Grab me tight, and don't let go)
Ooh papi, love you, mmm papi, love you
You love it when I'm freaking out
Things get rough and there's no doubt
(You will always be there for me)
Mmm papi love you, mmm papi, love you
[Breakdown]
Mmm papi, love you
Mmm papi, mmm papi, mmm papi
Mmm papi, mmm papi, mmm papi
Mmm luvi, mmm luvi, mmm papi
[Bridge]
You will always be there for me
You will always be there for me
You love it when I'm freaking out (For me)
Things get rough, and there's no doubt
You love it when I'm freaking out (For me)
Things get rough, and there's no doubt
Mmm papi love you, mmm papi love you
[Chorus]
You can come take me away
There's no pressure, play all day
(Grab me tight, and don't let go)
Ooh papi, love you, mmm papi, love you
You love it when I'm freaking out
Things get rough and there's no doubt
(You will always be there for me)
Mmm papi love you, mmm papi, love you
[Post-Chorus]
Now see, I'm mommy, and that makes you papi
And that makes us luvi
[Outro]
Mmm papi, mmm papi, mmm papi
Mmm papi, mmm papi, mmm papi
Mmm papi, mmm papi, mmm papi
