The crooners' take on the track might not be our cup of tea, but we have a sneaking suspicion that fans of both artists won't mind their overdone lusty overtures. Perhaps they just lack the sexy playfulness that RiRi brought to the affair (or maybe they're just trying too hard to be as nasty as they wanna be). "Heard that p***y for the takin' / Know that p***y feel a-muhf**kin'-mazing / Bet it's sweeter than a pastry / Cake, cake, yeah like a muhf**kin' bakery," he sings before he requests to put his "face in your waist." Interestingly enough, despite all the raunch, smooth bass and Spanish guitar, their take just doesn't feel that sexy. Trey, however, is somehow much more direct. From there, he unleashes a stream of consciousness verse ranging from braggadocio to bedroom shenanigans, with colorful language and metaphors sprinkled throughout. "I don't know If I can take it / But I know I love it when you get naked, naked / Breakfast in bed when I taste it / Good head, p***y wet just to chase it," he wails at the song's start, his signature tone sounding as if it was just slightly touched by the Auto-Tune fairy. Rather than give us a bit of an intro, though, they get straight to raunchy business with Tory taking the lead.

The twosome comes together to put their own freaknasty spin on the already risqué song.
