[Intro: Lil Mo]
Three, four
Uh, uh, oh, oh
Kehlani, you crazy for this one
[Verse 1: Kehlani]
I got the body of a goddess
You wanna love me right here, right now just be honest
We the baddest in the club, in your city I'm the hottest, ayy
Swear to me like Scarface
What reason I got to be modest when I fly first class next to the pilot?
I feel the highest, feel like I could fly
I might count up tonight, make you feel like you're mine
I swear you look like when the stars align
You such a treat on my trick every time
[Pre-Chorus: Kehlani]
But I won't run that plate
You call and I might stay still
Don't ever pay no mind what you say
[Chorus: Kehlani & Lil Mo]
We should make it official (Woah, woah)
But we both young and crazy, babe
We don't wanna notes, it's yours
But tonight we might act like we don't know better
Said, "Tonight we might act like we don't know better"(We don't know better, ooh-ooh)
[Verse 2: Kehlani]
We gon' act like we don't know
Put you on the passenger, ain't ridin' solo
I ain't with the overthinkin', that's a no, no
Get the horse back on me like I'm wearin' Polo
Giddy up, then
Yeah, I'm silly when we get it up there, ooh
I'm the type your daddy said, "Don't fuck with, you"
Makin' me nervous, my mind says, "No"
My body's workin', I can feel it workin' on me
And I ain't really with the stop signs (Stop signs)
We found the right thing at the wrong time
I could treat you like it's all mine
[Pre-Chorus: Kehlani & Lil Mo]
But I don't run that plate (I don't run that play)
You call and I might stay still (Ooh)
Don't ever pay no mind what you say
[Chorus: Kehlani, Lil Mo, Both & Vince Staples]
We should make it official (Official)
But we both young and crazy, babe
We don't wanna notes and sure
But tonight we might act like we don't know better, ooh
Said, "Tonight we might act like we don't know better" (We don't know better)
('Cause tonight)
[Bridge: Vince Staples]
We should know better than to think it's a game
I never let nobody play on my name
I know you know the latter come with a range
So if I ever give to you, know it wasn't in vain
What's understood don't gotta be explained
I'm from the hood, I know love ain't safe
I feel good whenever I see your face
Baby, hit on me 'cause I can't wait
Trust me, love me better than my last
Let me make your life a breeze, let me make you laugh
If I catch your sins when we're kissin' through the glass, ayy
Dirt times in a nigga past
But we ain't even gotta get into that (No)
The moon fallin' and the night is young
Partyin' in the party, if it end before you see the sun (No way)
I got a feelin' you could be the one
[Pre-Chorus: Kehlani & Lil Mo]
But I don't run that plate (I don't run that play)
You call and I might stay still (Ooh)
Don't ever pay no mind what you say
[Chorus: Kehlani, Lil Mo, Both & Vince Staples]
We should make it official (Official)
But we both young and crazy, babe
We don't wanna notes and sure
But tonight we might act like we don't know better, ooh
Said, "Tonight we might act like we don't know better" (We don't know better, ooh)
[Intro: Lil Mo]
The intro sets a playful tone with Lil Mo’s vocals, highlighting a sense of excitement and anticipation. The light-heartedness in the delivery underscores the carefree attitude that runs throughout the song, preparing the listener for the youthful exuberance that follows.
[Verse 1: Kehlani]
In this verse, Kehlani describes herself with confidence, asserting her allure and the power she holds over others. She presents herself as the center of attention, both in the club and in someone’s life. The reference to flying first class and sitting next to the pilot symbolizes her elevated status and the freedom she feels, as if she's on top of the world. The verse reflects a moment of self-assurance where she fully embraces her desirability and influence.
[Pre-Chorus: Kehlani]
Here, Kehlani begins to reveal a more cautious side, acknowledging the internal conflict she faces. While she enjoys the attention and the excitement of the moment, there is hesitation in fully committing to it. This section illustrates the push-and-pull dynamic between giving in to temptation and holding back to avoid potential consequences.
[Chorus: Kehlani & Lil Mo]
The chorus emphasizes the theme of youthful impulsiveness, where despite knowing better, the characters choose to act on their desires. The repetition of "we might act like we don’t know better" highlights the internal battle between wisdom and passion, with the latter often winning out, especially in the heat of the moment.
[Verse 2: Kehlani]
In this verse, Kehlani explores the idea of taking risks and living in the moment without overthinking. She contrasts her carefree approach with the potential repercussions, yet she continues to push forward. The reference to being the type of person a parent would warn against suggests she’s aware of the danger she represents, but it also hints at the thrill that comes with breaking the rules.
[Bridge: Vince Staples]
Vince Staples provides a different perspective, bringing a more grounded and reflective tone. He acknowledges the risks involved in love, especially coming from a rough background. His lines suggest a deeper connection, where trust and understanding play crucial roles. Despite the past difficulties, there’s a hopeful outlook on what the relationship could become.
