[Intro]
I want to see you work out for me, work out for me

[Chorus]
Ayy, we’ve got a good thing
Don’t know if I’ma see you again
But is that a good thing?
‘Cause girl, I can’t be your man, no ma’am
I know what’s on your brain
You probably hoped it never would end
Like, “Is it the real thing
Or is it just a one-night stand?”

Well then

[Bridge]
Let me see you get high, then go low
Now, girl, won’t you drop that thing down to the floor?
I’m here for one night, how far will you go?
I wanna see you (Work out for me, work out for me)
High, then go low
Now, girl, won’t you drop that thing down to the floor?
I’m here for one night, how far will you go?
I wanna see you (Work out for me, work out for me)

[Verse 1]
She like them boys with the big ol’ chains
Riding around town in a big ol’ Range
I knew her when I rocked big ol’ jeans
Now the little n!gga doing big ol’ thangs
Would you look at that? I came back for her
Just to give it to ya, like you asked for it
Man, that thing in them jeans too fat for her
Rebounds so I caught her off the backboard
I told her: “Baby girl, come here
Know I run the town even when I ain’t from there.”
And I brag hardly, but just to show up at this party
I made what yo’ n!gga make in one year

That’s unfair, but so is life, take a chance, roll the dice
Money can’t buy you love, ’cause it’s overpriced
Don’t overthink, just hope it’s right
I’m only here for the night

[Chorus]
Ayy, we’ve got a good thing
Don’t know if I’ma see you again
But is that a good thing?
‘Cause girl, I can’t be your man, no ma’am
I know what’s on your brain
You probably hoped it never would end
Like, “Is it the real thing
Or is it just a one-night stand?”
Well then

[Bridge]
Let me see you get high, then go low
Now, girl, won’t you drop that thing down to the floor?
I’m here for one night, how far will you go?
I wanna see you (Work out for me, work out for me)
High, then go low
Now, girl, won’t you drop that thing down to the floor?
I’m here for one night, how far will you go?
I wanna see you (Work out for me, work out for me)

[Verse 2]
Carolina Blue kicks, fresh on the scene
Hottest n!gga on the block
Damn, girl, you’re mean
They be starting s*it, but it’s yo’ world
On my Martin s*it: “You go, girl!”
She bad and she know it
Some n!ggas save hoes, I’m not that heroic
Could you be my escort?
‘Cause just like them two door Fords
Damn, they don’t make ’em like you no more
Cole World, real Cole World
Them boys cool—me, I’m on fire
Know what’s on my mind
Tryna see what’s on yours tonight, tonight, tonight
Move slow, ’cause you wanna live fast
Up late so you’ll probably skip class
Life is a test so before the night pass, get right, get right

[Chorus]
Ayy, we’ve got a good thing
Don’t know if I’ma see you again
But is that a good thing?
‘Cause girl, I can’t be your man, no ma’am
I know what’s on your brain
You probably hoped it never would end
Like, “Is it the real thing
Or is it just a one-night stand?”
Well then (Cole World)

[Outro]
Straight up, now tell me
Do you really wanna love me forever? (Oh oh oh)
Or is it just a hit-and-run?
(Well, hey) Straight up, I tell ya
I just really wanna cut when we together (Oh oh oh)
Come here, girl, let’s get it on!
(Work out for me)
Straight up, now tell me
Do you really wanna love me forever? (Oh oh oh)
Or is it just a hit-and-run?
Well straight up, I tell ya
I just really wanna cut when we together (Oh oh oh)
Come here, girl, let’s get it on!
(Work out for me)
