The song, carried by a somber, echoey guitar melody, and crisp, hi-hat tinged percussion, sees Destiny sing about dealing with a taxing relationship. The singer showcases her vocal ability, stretching her melodies from a sensual low rumble, high into a swooning falsetto.
The single was exclusively...
[Verse 1]
These niggas tell you what you want to hear (These niggas)
Everything has a price, who here gon' sacrifice?
Don't know exactly what you want to hear (These niggas)
Still, I can't tell you if you hardly here, I mean that shit both ways
Your friends all ask you, "What you waitin' on?" (These niggas)
Used to procrastination, don't get distracted, baby
[Pre-Chorus]
I can tell you think it's harmless
But it's lovin' that is hardest
If it's easier to show than say it
Then show me so things fall in place, fall in place, fall in place
[Chorus]
Always drunk on the phone when you call for me (That's right)
Always say that it's love when it's not and they know what they doin' is wrong (That's right)
Never say too much, always play too much, always wait too long (That's right)
Always say that it's love, if it's not, let me know what you waitin' on (That's right)
[Verse 2]
I let you keep this up way too long
Check my phone, three unreads, two missed calls (Two missed calls)
I don't wanna give up on you
Give me something
[Pre-Chorus]
I can tell you think it's harmless
But it's lovin' that is hardest
If it's easier to show than say it
Then show me so things fall in place, fall in place, fall in place
[Chorus]
Always drunk on the phone when you call for me (That's right)
Always say that it's love when it's not and they know what they doin' is wrong (That's right)
Never say too much, always play too much, always wait too long (That's right)
Always say that it's love, if it's not, let me know what you waitin' on (That's right)
[Instrumental Breakdown]
[Chorus]
Always drunk on the phone when you call for me (That's right)
Always say that it's love when it's not and they know what they doin' is wrong (That's right)
Never say too much, always play too much, always wait too long (That's right)
Always say that it's love, if it's not, let me know what you waitin' on (That's right)
