DTM Song Lyrics

DTM by SZA

[Verse 1]
I need you poolside, you've been on my mind
Wonder if you're all mine, why do it matter anyway? (f**k it)
I like your soft side, I like you on top
You make my thoughts stop
You make bein' me less hard
'Bout to quit my job

[Pre-Chorus]
When the dick hit that's just how you gotta do
I'm addicted, that's why I keep callin' you
Diamond boy, why you so shiny? (Bling)
Diamond boy, come get behind me, rodeo
Diamond boy, your light so blinding
Blind me

[Chorus]
Baby, if it's OD, tell me
Am I sayin' too much? (Am I sayin' too much?)
And, baby, if it's OD, tell me
Am I sayin' too much? (Too much)
Baby, if it's OD just tell me
Am I doin' too much? (Too much)
Papi, if it's OD just tell me
If it's OD just tell me
Mm-mm
[Verse 2]
Usually, I can't let down my guard (No)
It's the way you say it so smoothly, got you f**kin' with mе
Usually I make 'em work so hard (So hard)
The truth is I'm ruthlеss about your worries, more times
'Cause it's 2 AM and I'm on again, don't look at me like that
'Cause I'm with all this ass, ain't no time to breathe
That dick gon' break my back
I'm talkin' punishment
I don't wanna complicate it with weapons
But you don't answer my message
Now come for me like you mean it, I

[Pre-Chorus]
When the dick hit that's just how you gotta do (Gotta do)
I'm addicted, that's why I keep callin' you (Callin' you)
Diamond boy, why you so shiny? (Bling)
Diamond boy, come get behind me, rodeo (Rodeo)
Diamond boy, your light so blinding (Your light)
Blind me

[Chorus]
Baby, if it's OD, tell me
Am I sayin' too much? (Sayin' too much)
And, baby, if it's OD, tell me (Baby, if it's OD)
Am I sayin' too much? (Tell me I'm too much, am I?)
Baby, if It's OD just tell me
Am I doin' too much? (Too much)
Papi, if it's OD just tell me
If it's OD just tell me
Mm-mm
[Bridge]
Baby, tell me what you want (What you want)
I can take these panties off (Panties off)
Tell you when you gon' be hard (Hard)
Tell me how to ride, tell me if you

[Verse 3]
Diamond boy, why you so shiny?
Kinda like my wrist, don't you forget about my time please
Gotta pop my cris, I need more bottles to my side please
Gotta pop my sh*t, made 50 'mil off of my feelings
Pull back like chiropract', I'm hanging from the ceiling, yeah
And we're callin' back to back, I never caught no feelings, yeah
No, you don't have to ask, I'm always OD
I'm always here, I'ma go to infinity and beyond f**kin' with me, it's so

[Outro]
Baby, it's so, ooh
Baby, it's so, yeah
Baby, it's so, yeah
