[Verse 2: Shygirl, FKA twigs, Both]
Strong grip gripping on my body
You can hold it
Never stop, I ain't met no body, no
Who control this
Not enough, just a little more
Guess you want this
Eyes wide shut, we can rock till the morning
Papi got an itch I could pacify (Tap, tap, tap)
Tell me when, tell me where
I can read your body fine
Got that Capri' Sun energy, yeah
Got that Capri' Sun energy, yeah
