[Intro: Zendaya]
I wanna try something, all night
I wanna try something, all night
[Chorus: Zendaya]
Don't know your name, but I guess I really don't care
I probably should wait, but I wanna let you go there
I wanna try something new, all night
I wanna try something new, all night
I wanna try something
[Verse 1: Zendaya]
By the way you looking tonight
Only one thing comes to my mind
When the lights come on at 2
I'll still be moving with you
Boy you're looking at nobody
Just my body
[Chorus: Zendaya]
Don't know your name, but I guess I really don't care
I probably should wait, but I wanna let you go there
I wanna try something new, all night
I wanna try something new, all night
I wanna try something

Baby know what you doing tonight?
I see that look in your eyes
I feel the same, yeah yeah
Miss your lips girl when we kiss
Why don't we handle this?
Girl you know I need some affection
[Chorus: Zendaya]
Don't know your name, but I guess I really don't care
I probably should wait, but I wanna let you go there
I wanna try something new, all night
I wanna try something new, all night
I wanna try something

Just sit back and take my direction now
