Devonte Hynes - Some Things Never Seem to f**ing Work lyrics

[Verse 1] I've seen you with the lights off I've seen you and you think you love me I've seen you with your hat off I'm dreaming of a time you knew me [Pre-Hook] So baby, is it all you've got? Tell me if you got some more I'm thinking of some time off, off I'm dreaming of a time that you knew me [Hook 1] Some things never seem to f**ing work [Verse 3] Remember when you kissed me (kissed me) At Jimmy John's when I was 17 Convinced myself you were the sh** (were the sh**) Convinced myself you loved me [Pre-Hook] So baby, is that all you've got? Tell me if you got some more-ore I'm thinking of some time off, off I'm dreaming of a time that you knew me [Hook 2] So maybe then we're better off So maybe if it's all you wanted Leave me alone Leave me alone So maybe then we're better off So maybe if it's all you wanted it Leave me alone Leave me alone [Verse 5] Remember when you missed me (missed me) We'd accidentally meet purposely Convinced that we were meant to be (meant to be) Convinced myself you loved me [Pre-Hook] So baby, is it all you've got? Tell me if you got some more I'm thinking of some time off (time off, off) I'm dreaming of a time that you knew me [Hook 2] [Spoken Word Interlude - Dev Hynes] So tell me, is it real love or some kind of mistake That we made together that we couldn't anticipate? And my attraction to you made all that much worse Desire for something maybe Along with a hatred of myself Not wanting to end up alone So the night I saw you I could pretend I thought you were beautiful And that's all I ever really saw But the truth is as much as I hate it, you were a bore So I try and deny it, although I try to fight it As I brought your ride home on the 95 bus Never thought down the line That us would eventually become an us So to the others, looking from the outside in So now I'm calling out For a way to give myself in Remember when you kissed me, when I was seventeen I thought to myself that you were the sh** That you loved me [Hook 2] Hook 1
