"seductively moaning" and "playful bedroom talk. “The first verse introduces the concept of the

what you want." The song is built around the idea of Ciara promising her body to her "man."

can also be heard in the background. There is small dialogue between the two where Ciara is
"flirting with Future" saying "Oh, so you been watching me," with Future responding saying
"You're not hard to miss," and thereafter the music resumes.
