We can’t all possess the same hip-gyrating prowess that Rihanna uses to captivate Drake in those “Work” videos. For some of us ladies, demonstrating interest in a lad leads to slip-ups, stuttering and a bad case of bubble guts. (WE JUST GET NERVOUS, OK?) That’s why we’ve re-worked Rihanna’s “Work” (get it?) to capture that butterfly feeling, and give you a little something to hum about next time you’re trying want to channel your inner pop diva. Get ’em, girl.

OK, You’re not that good at being a flirt, so just stop it
Your name is what?–OK, I got it
So many questions, let’s stay on topic
From long distance, I seen you
I was at the water fountain, you in the break room
Thinking you looked nice and we should probably date soon
And if your schedules full than you should probably make room for me, me, me, me, me
I would have spoken first but you never inspired me
I got bosses tryna fire me
I spilled my cup for water, I’m sorry
Bowling, bowling, bowling, bowling, bowling?
I meant to ask if you’re free can we go bowling?
We just need a face to face
Play your favorite Drake song, waist to waist

Thinking one of our coworkers just heard us
