This unexpected and radio-only release of “Gabriel” follows the standalone single “Nostalgia”, released in September 2017.
“Gabriel” was first teased by NAO on a video that was published in August 2017 on her social media accounts, having since vanished, and contained the first verse from the song....
[Verse 1]
(Uh, ta-ta)
Oh, Gabriel, huh
Oh, what would you like to do to me?
Would you touch it like that?
Or maybe hit it right back?
Oh, Gabriel, what you to do to me
[Pre-Chorus]
I really get a rush from you
And I try to hide my crush on you
When I gotta touch, I gotta trust
I gotta feel that you want me too, yeah
I really get a rush from you
[Chorus]
I want you to know that I can't get enough
My kryptonite lover, and you're such a rush
I want you to be mine, mine
Oh no, baby, I want you to be mine
'Cause I'm your lady, baby, okay
[Verse 2]
Crazy how it be vows of jealousy
When they see you out with me
When you're passin' by, I always drift and sigh
And I know the reason why
You're so sweet, Heaven knows
Oh, Gabriel, just take it all
[Pre-Chorus]
I really get a rush from you
And I try to hide my crush on you, you, you, you
When I gotta touch, I gotta trust
I gotta feel that you want me too, yeah
I really get a rush from you
[Chorus]
I want you to know that I can't get enough
My kryptonite lover, and you're such a rush
I want you to be mine, mine
Oh no, baby, I want you to be mine
'Cause I'm your lady, baby, okay
[Bridge]
Gabriel
You can't expect me to cry two ways
My love to break
I been so good to you
Tuck me in your arms, too often flew away, oh
Please don't make me drift too long, oh no
All the magic that you charm me with
And armored in the feels I have, it's true, yeah
And I'm maybe you'd just like to
Come my way and maybe stay
Oh, oh no, baby, your lady
Ooh, yeah
I get a rush, I got a crush
And I feel that you want me too, yeah
I really get a rush from you
[Chorus]
I want you to know that I can't get enough
My kryptonite lover, and you're such a rush
I want you to be mine, mine
Oh no, baby, I want you to be mine
'Cause I'm your lady, baby, okay
