[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]
