On Me
(Verse)
In the morning,
In the evening,
In the afternoon
Where'd you gather
We're forever
Happy doing spoons
(Verse)
In the sweet times
In the hard times
In the salty times
You're the raindrops
Lollywayne pops
For my stormy eyes
(Chorus)
Your shoes are on me
Your dress is on me
Your stars are on me
And I keep calling for more
Your hands are on me
Your lips are on me
Keep hanging on me
On me,on
(Verse)
Interact me,elevate me
'Til the light first sight
Never mind her long you on me
'Cause your my perfect size
(Chorus)
Your shoes are on me
Your dress is on me
Your stars are on me
And I keep calling for more
Your hands are on me
Your lips are on me
Keep hanging on me
On me,on me
(Outro)
Your hands are on me
Your lips are on me
Keep hanging on me
On me,on me,on me
