[INTRO VERSE – TIRZAH] See you got alot of nerve using that subtle language Tryna play like this is some sort of negotiation I done curved too many heads while I'm driving in to not sense With my main piece tryna dip like a condiment Save them sympathetic apologies, it bothers me Get what's off your chest and address what the issue is [Verse] Look, life comes with ups but am I down? I know you got my Lust but what now? Decided I'm gon break it off with baby girl Cause I don't think we strong enough to face the world She started asking bout the kisses on the couch (uh) The kisses when we out, love kisses in the house Tis true yeah we were attracted Ya intellect was great, a cut above my average And when we were together we had set the standard Our resume said we was the perfect package But our time was compacted, lives incompatible Rush tactics made us combative I was on the move and you was established And I tried to move past it cause you knew the Sabbath Look I'm down to know my role but I'm not for acting And us moving forward is a step backward I guess... Chorus Everything that works on paper Don't always work in your favor I wonder if the sweet taste will last long enough for me
Now & laters Everything that works on paper Don't always work in your favor I wonder if the sweet taste will last long enough for me Now & laters Verse 2 Life comes with downs, can you stay up? It's a challenge to build I Don't know what I was thinkin When I thought you'd be my last next one Now I understand that "why" comes right after "ex's" Nonetheless, that conversation was news to me Had me caught up in all the tomfoolery Of ideas bout keeping me a good woman I mean Tokeaux really thought he has somethin Let me clarify Thought that we had substance It was more than the lust with cloud 9 touches Guess I dropped it Now I'm askin bout the kisses on the couch Our kisses when we out, tongue kisses in the mouth I guess they didn't mean ish Like sh** I'm sittin on it why you tryna flush it? This true yeah we were attracted She says that I was great, a cut above from average Oh I see where this goin But I'll listen active See she ready to move and I want established And she downin on her roll but she not for actin Man I can't believe I'm being told to fall back I guess... [Chorus 4x]
