Letra

[Intro]
Heh, listen, uh, I met this guy and um
You know, I don't get down like that, but
We were together for a while, you know
Things didn't work out, but
I can't even be mad with him, you know
'Cause we had some moments for true, isn't it?
It's like a—yo, yo, I'll explain, listen, huh
[Verse 1]
We wrote fairy tales of how we'll live in castles, tight like Hansel and Gretel
And grow old and settle in a town that we'll title with our merry day
We gotta love like that, like, every day, like, every way, like
I cannot stay at yours tonight
We can hold tight, love bite and share some soul
We can pick and roll, lose control and let me take it
Like how I let you break it, don't forget, we could
Get high on each other and serve time for it
Through the night and back
Into the morning, can't crack the habits
You see, I'm fiending, I'm needing some more
And you got me grinning like it's money that I'm winning
No way is this sinning 'cause you got me feeling purer than thou
Show me how th—you do this thing, 'cause
You got me singing like
Like, like, like
[Bridge]
Yo, for real, he had me singing like
Some kinda opera shit
Yo, I don't-I don't know where we went with it
It was like
I used to turn to him and just whisper in his ear, 'cause' yo
I made these little promises, like, um, I'd say, um
[Verse 2]
I'll crown you king of this throne if you can take me home
Like, run with no stripes
Doesn't have to be tonight
How's about early morning?
I'm talking a.m.
We can beat the dawn
You know, just chill through time barriers
Can't help the whispers of "I do"
But you see through my poker test
Got me making game faces
In London, we say lacing
You say making sense
This shit's intense
I kinda
Warmed an offense 'cause you move me so
I broke my role and got freaky with it
Freaky with it
You chastise me with my own belt
I ain't gonna lie
I felt the universe move
You left me singing like opera
Like Cleopatra or Madam Butterfly
Yo, this shit's so good
It brought tears to my eyes
I was like
[Bridge]
I'm telling you, man, it's no lie
See, I was like
I just—yo, I, I couldn't even let him walk past me
I was like, grabbing on him and
Yeah, we were happy for a minute for true
After a session, we'd-we'd be like, "Yo, yo
[Verse 3]
Yo, was that supposed to happen?"
All that foot tappin', voice breakin'
Now I'm carving Kama Sutra diagrams
With the headboard
Ignored the buzzer four times
Got up hard, telling lies
Even surprised myself with my conniving ways
I dived in like he meant survival
Like, he was christened H20
Like, he could make the trees grow and the clouds spit snow
He laid kisses on my chest like his name was Zorro
Got me saying, "Hell No" when he said he had to go
I was hiding clothes and play fighting like children
We were clashing our titans till weight we were losing
I had Slum Village album on repeat
We were knocking boots to hip-hop beats
I even reached my maximum in my sleep, yo
He had me singing like, like
[Verse 4]
Yo, for real, I'm not lying, listen up, it was like
Yo, yo, I'm gonna break it down, the truth is, I got goose pimples now just thinking about that shit, yo
Yo, just his voice, if I could hear his voice now, I'd
I-I'd answer the phone like
You know what I mean?
Lord, listen, if I knew where he was now, you know
I'd find him
We split, we split ways, yo, we went about, you know, went about business
I wanna know if he's making somebody else hit that opera
You know what I mean? 'Cause
I ain't had none of that in a minute
It's like
[Outro]
Yo, yo, yo, it's like
Say it again
I'm tellin' you, br-bro could look at me across the room and
Know what I mean? He'd just put on the game face and we'd be like, yo, we gotta go home
Ha, ha, that's the truth
You know, it was like, ah
