Boo’d Up Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah

[Verse 1]
Feelings, so deep in my feelings
No, this ain't really like me
Can't control my anxiety
Feeling, like I'm touching the ceiling
When I'm with you, I can't breathe
Boy, you do something to me

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, no, I'll never get over you until I find something new
That get me high like you do, yeah, yeah
Ooh, no, I'll never get over you until I find something new
That get me high like you do

[Chorus]
Listen to my heart go ba-do, boo'd up
Biddy-da-do, boo'd up
Hear my heart go ba-do, boo'd up
Biddy-da-do, it just won't stop, it go
Ba-do, boo'd up
Biddy-da-do, boo'd up
Hear my heart go ba-do, boo'd up
Biddy-da-do, it just won't stop, it go

[Verse 2]
Oh, how many ways can I say that I need you? Baby, it's true
I think I might die without you
Feeling all over my body
You know how I like it
Ain't gotta tell you what to do, yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, no, I'll never get over you until I find something new
That get me high like you do, yeah, yeah
Ooh, no, I'll never get over you until I find something new
That get me high like you do

[Chorus]
Listen to my heart go ba-do, boo'd up
Biddy-da-do, boo'd up
Hear my heart go ba-do, boo'd up
Biddy-da-do, it just won't stop, it go
Ba-do, boo'd up
Biddy-da-do, boo'd up
Hear my heart go ba-do, boo'd up
Biddy-da-do, it just won't stop, it go

[Bridge]
Head over heels in love
Right in front of you, ain't gotta look no more, baby (Hah)
I wanna build this love
And everything you want, you ain't gotta ask for
You got me boo'd up, boo'd up
Boo'd up, boo'd up
Told you from the jump I'd only choose ya
Ya got me boo'd up, boo'd up
Boo'd up, boo'd up
Grab me by the waist, baby, pull me closer, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, no, I'll never get over you until I find something new

Ooh, no, I'll never get over you until I find something new (Yeah, baby)
That get me high like you do

[Chorus]
Listen to my heart go ba-do, boo'd up (Ooh, boo'd)
