Lyrics
[Refrain: Rihanna]
Oh na-na, what’s my name?
Oh na-na, what’s my name?
Oh na-na, what’s my name?
Oh na-na, what’s my name?
Oh na-na, what’s my name?
What’s my name, what’s my name?
[Verse 1: Drake]
Uh, yeah
I heard you good with them soft lips
Yeah, you know word of mouth
The square root of sixty-nine is eight somethin’, right?
‘Cause I’ve been tryna work it out, oh
Uh, good weed, white wine
Uh, I come alive in the night time, yeah
Okay, away we go
Only thing we have on is the radio
Let it play
Say you gotta leave, but I know you wanna stay
You just waitin’ on the traffic jam to finish, girl
The things that we could do in twenty minutes, girl
Say my name, say my name, wear it out
It’s gettin’ hot, crack a window, air it out
I can get you through a mighty long day
Soon as you go, the text that I write is gon’ say
[Refrain: Rihanna]
Oh na-na, what’s my name?
Oh na-na, what’s my name?
Oh na-na, what’s my name?
What’s my name, what’s my name?
[Verse 2: Rihanna]
Not everybody
Knows how to work my body
Knows how to make me want it
But boy, you stay up on it
You got that somethin’
That keeps me so off balance
Baby, you’re a challenge
Let’s explore your talent
[Chorus: Rihanna]
Hey boy, I really wanna see if you
Can go downtown with a girl like me
Hey boy, I really wanna be with you
‘Cause you just my type
Ooh, na, na, na, na
I need a boy to take it over
Lookin’ for a guy to put in work, uh
Ohh-oh-oh, ohh-oh-oh
Hey boy, I really wanna see if you
Can go downtown with a girl like me
Hey boy, I really wanna be with you
‘Cause you just my type
Ooh, na, na, na, na
I need a boy to take it over
Lookin’ for a guy to put in work, uh
Ohh-oh-oh, ohh-oh-oh
[Refrain: Rihanna]
Oh na-na, what’s my name?
Oh na-na, what’s my name?
Oh na-na, what’s my name?
What’s my name, what’s my name?
[Verse 3: Rihanna]
Baby, you got me
And ain’t nowhere that I’d be
Than with your arms around me
Back and forth, you rock me, yeah
So I surrender
To every word you whisper
Every door you enter
I will let you in
[Chorus: Rihanna]
Hey boy, I really wanna see if you
Can go downtown with a girl like me
Hey boy, I really wanna be with you
‘Cause you just my type
Ooh, na, na, na, na
I need a boy to take it over
Lookin’ for a guy to put in work, uh
Ohh-oh-oh, ohh-oh-oh
[Bridge: Rihanna]
You’re so amazing, you took the time to figure me out
That’s why you take me, way past the point of turnin’ me on
You ’bout to break me
I swear you got me losin’ my mind
[Refrain: Rihanna]

Hey boy, I really wanna be with you
‘Cause you just my type
Ooh, na, na, na, na
