Espresso
Sabrina Carpenter · 2024
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- That's that me, espresso
- Move it up, down, left, right, oh
- Switch it up like Nintendo
- Say you can't sleep, baby, I know
Echo the hook
- That morning coffee, brewed it for ya
- One touch and I brand newed it for ya
- Now he's thinkin' 'bout me every night, oh
- Is it that sweet? I guess so
