Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lyin' here with you reminds me of those days
Me and Candice waking up to a heat wave
Mother's in the garden, inviting everyone
Ooh, we cut up our old jeans and go outside
[Verse 2]
Neighbor's always smilin' with the baby on her knee
Rhea sat on the front step gettin' her hair combed out and greased
And music, the bass boomin' pulse from the car parked in the street
Got that new song on repeat, oh, oh
[Verse 3]
(I'd) Like to put my fingers on you
(I'd) Like to paint a picture for you
(Sometimes you don't) Understand where I'm comin' from
I just like to make you see that I desire the simple things
[Verse 4]
Growin' up, we didn't have a lot of money
Used to spend our summer having parties on the drive
Plastic cups for rum and punch, eatin' chicken that's hot and sweet
All the women discussin' what love is like, ooh, you know the way I mean
And I'm just sittin', watchin', hopin' the boys will call for me
Got that new song on repeat, oh, oh
[Verse 5]
(I'd) Like to put my fingers on you
(I'd) Like to paint a picture for you
(Sometimes you don't) Understand where I'm comin' from
I'm just tryna make you see that I desire the simple things
[Verse 6]
Maybe then, now and then, I would want somebody
Delicate, intimate, used to dream of someone to love
Now you come and blow right by me
I know I'm in love
[Verse 7]
(I'd) Like to put my fingers on you
(I'd) Like to paint this picture for you
(Sometimes you don't) Understand where I'm comin' from
I'm just tryna make you see that I desire the simple things
[Verse 8]
(I'd) Like to put my fingers on you
(I'd) Like to paint a picture for you
(Sometimes you don't) Understand where I'm comin' from
I just like to make you see that I desire the simple things
[Verse 9]
(I'd) Oh, ooh, I'd like to put my fingers on you
(I'd) And paint a picture for you
(Sometimes you don't) You don't understand where I'm comin' from
I desire the simple things
[Verse 10]
(I'd) Like to put my fingers on you
(I'd)
