[Intro: Missy Elliott]
(Uh) This is (Ooh) an exclusive (Damn, right)
Let’s go, new Kehlani
When I say (“New Kehlani”)
You know it’s some hot s*it
Let me say what I’m gon’ say, let me stay on the topic (Woo, topic)
Girl, woman, I do what I wanna do (Wanna do)
Why you tripping when I come right home to you? (Woo, woo)

[Verse 1: Kehlani & Missy Elliott]
Why you so quiet?
The silence hit like sirens (Woo)

If looks could kill, well then, tonight might get violent
When the fit too fire, you always get too firing (Woo)
Ah-ah-ah (Woo)

[Pre-Chorus: Kehlani & Missy Elliott]
And by-y-y-y-y
By doing this later, I do us a favor, oh, I
And by-y-y-y-y (By)
Don’t ruin my makeup, be there when you wake up (Ah-ah)
(Let’s go)

[Chorus: Kehlani & Missy Elliott]
I ain’t going back and forth tonight, I’m going out (I ain’t going back and forth tonight; Woo)
I ain’t going back and forth tonight, I’m going out (It’s last call, you the last thing on my mind)
I ain’t picking up the phone for nun’, nuh-uh, before the lights come on (Get there when I get there, take my time; Woo)
I ain’t going back and forth tonight, I’m out (So don’t you start that s*it when I get home; Mm)

[Post-Chorus: Kehlani & Missy Elliott]
(Ah-ah-ah-ah) Let’s get it, let’s go (Uh)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah) Let’s get it, let’s go (Uh-uh)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah) Let’s get it, let’s go (Uh-uh; Ooh, woo)

[Verse 2: Kehlani & Missy Elliott]
I’ma need you to cool down for me
Check your insecurities

Leave ’em at the door of our home (New s*it, ah)
I think I see you new now, that’s on me
All your pride and jealousy (Uh-huh)
That’s gon’ make me leave you alone (Ah-ah-ah)

[Pre-Chorus: Kehlani & Missy Elliott]
And by-y-y-y-y
By doing this later, I be doing us a favor (Woo)
And by-y-y-y-y (By)
Don’t ruin my makeup, I’ll be there when you wake up, all night
(Let’s go)

[Chorus: Kehlani & Missy Elliott]
I ain’t going back and forth tonight, I’m going out (I ain’t going back and forth tonight; Woo)
I ain’t going back and forth tonight, I’m going out (It’s last call, you the last thing on my mind)
I ain’t picking up the phone for nun’, nuh-uh, before the lights come on (Get there when I get there, take my time)
I ain’t going back and forth tonight, I’m out (So don’t you start that s*it when I get home)

[Bridge: Missy Elliott]
(Missy)
Ayo, where you going?
I’m going out, what you mean?
Oh, yeah, with who?
I’m going out, I’m ’bout to leave
And you wearing that?
Yeah, I’m grown, not a teen
Who you riding with?
I’m ’bout to drop my Lamborghini (Ooh)
N!gga, I ain’t doing this tonight
I’m ’bout to drive off, oh, you mad? Yeah, aight
You know I be home, I’ma see ya when I see ya
All that back, back and forth got me feeling like Aaliyah
Listen here

[Chorus: Kehlani & Missy Elliott]
I ain’t going back and forth tonight, I’m going out (I ain’t going back and forth tonight; Woo)
I ain’t going back and forth tonight, I’m going out (Let’s go; It’s last call, you the last thing on my mind)
I ain’t picking up the phone for nun’, nuh-uh, before the lights come on (I’ma get there when I get there, take my time)
I ain’t going back and forth tonight, I’m out (So don’t you start that s*it when I get home; Woo)

[Post-Chorus: Kehlani, Missy Elliott & Both]
(Ah-ah-ah-ah) Let’s get it, let’s go (Ah, yeah)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah) Let’s get it, let’s go (Oh, nah)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah) Don’t start that s*it ‘fore I get home
(Ah-ah-ah-ah) Let’s get it, let’s go (Uh)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah) Drop it down to the floor (Uh)
(Ah-ah-ah-ah) Let’s get it, let’s go (Uh-uh; Ooh, ooh)

[Outro: Missy Elliott]
Ooh, girl, we need to run this back
