"Ooh

I'ma make it back and probably spend it all on you

Come through from the back so don't nobody talk

I put them VVs on your decolleté, I know you feel nauseous

Bitches best stay in they place or move around with caution

VVs on your decolleté, mm-mm

Baby, pull up through the backdoor, backdoor, yeah

Backdoor, backdoor

Turn the lights down, I'm slidin' through the backdoor, backdoor

Members only, ridin' through the backdoor, backdoor

Vamp life, spooky, vamp life, spooky (Yeah)"
