The stars are so bright (the stars are so bright)

Gotta work on my seduction if you wanna get it on
But if you think that I'm an easy catch, you're dead wrong
Gotta work on my seduction if you wanna get it on
But if you think that I'm an easy catch, you're dead wrong
Can I buy you a drink?
(Can't understand this part because of watermark)
I'm Superman you can be my Lois Lane
I don't care if you're the only single man on Earth
Don't be sure you're getting lucky tonight
Don't be
Gotta work on my seduction if you wanna get it on
But if you think that I'm an easy catch, you're dead wrong
Patience ain't a friend of mine
You and me (can't understand)
If you wash it boy, let it dry, let it dry
I got the recipe
Gotta cook it slowly
See I'm your remedy
If you want to succeed
Just let the girl take the lead
(something) for just once in your life
The night is so young (the night is so young)
The stars are so bright (the stars are so bright)
(?)
Eh can I buy you a drink
Still ain't changed your mind
I got a plan
To make you mine
If you rush it I don't like it
Dont you understand?
All the good things
Need some effort and take some time
Gotta work on my seduction if you wanna get it on
But if you think that I'm an easy catch, you're dead wrong
Patience ain't a friend of mine
You and me (can't understand)
If you wash it boy, let it dry, let it dry
I got the recipe
Gotta cook it slowly
See I'm your remedy
If you want to succeed
Just let the girl take the lead
(something) for just once in your life
The night is so young (the night is so young)
The stars are so bright (the stars are so bright)

(?) I can see your inside
Turn around girl, lemme see your backside
Stop, I'm tryna be good, I'm tryna be good
(?Be good and I'll be the bad man?)
Steal your heart in the middle of the night and
(something about hips)
Shaki on the mic
(something else about hips)
Gotta work on my seduction if you wanna get it on
But if you think that I'm an easy catch, you're dead wrong
Gotta work on my seduction if you wanna get it on
But if you think that I'm an easy catch, you're dead wrong
Oh this is the place I'll die
For we both, this is the place I drown my love
