[Intro]
C'mon
[Verse 1]
Baby, we could go back to the basics
Trailer park love, wearing them ASICS and gold
I can speak Spanish
You can sing for the neighbors
You've been pretty stupid ever since you got famous
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, wrong side of the tracks, boy
Oh-oh, oh-oh, if only we'd go backward
'Cause nobody does it like you
I like the way that you move
That's why I never go through
With leaving you
[Chorus]
Everybody's saying that you're no good for me
Your friends all swear that you've changed
But I still keep it O.G
This tune could be a reminder of how it all used to be
So shut up, and come on, sing our song
And let's go back to the basics
Let's go back to the basics, baby
Back to the basics
When you're not wasted, I know you'll see
[Verse 2]
Baby, we could go back to the basics (C'mon)
We were best friends, crazy and shameless in love
You can mow the lawn for money
I can make you playlists
You bought me dimebags
Felt like we were famous
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, best I ever had boy
Oh-oh, oh-oh, can you remember that, boy?
Nobody knew what we knew
We had it figured out, too
Us against the world just
Me and you (Ooh)
[Chorus]
Everybody's saying that you're no good for me
Your friends all swear that you've changed
But I still keep it O.G
This tune could be a reminder of how it all used to be
So shut up, and come on, sing our song
And let's go back to the basics
Let's go back to the basics, baby
Back to the basics
When you're not wasted, I know you'll see
[Bridge]
We could drive forever, my baby
We could leave it all and never look back
If you wanted heaven, baby
Sit back in my pink Cadillac
[Breakdown]
Everybody's saying that you're no good for me
Your friends all swear that you've changed
But I still keep it O.G
This tune could be a reminder of how it all used to be
So shut up, and come on, sing our song
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Chorus]
Everybody's saying that you're no good for me
Your friends all swear that you've changed
But I still keep it O.G
This tune could be a reminder of how it all used to be
So shut up, and come on, sing our song
And let's go back to the basics
Let's go back to the basics, baby
Back to the basics
When you're not wasted, I know you'll see
