[Verse 1]
They say that I'm wasted potential
Meant to make my days all eventful
But sometimes I can’t help but stay at home
Toke on buds to cope with my mental
She says that I'm kind and I'm gentle
But really I’m just scared to be alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe if I tell you that I hate you, then you'll give me my space
Maybe if I say I love you, then you'll throw it back in my face

I'm a homebody, don't owe nobody nothin'
Thought she was bluffin', but she really took my breath away

I'm a homebody, don’t go nobody’s functions
And she comes to the junction just to take my breath away
Dreamt about it yesterday
[Verse 2]
I might step out in my sliders, ain't goin’ nowhere
Please don't ask me how my mind is
'Cause you don't care
I need someone to confide in, someone I can trust
’Cause I'm getting sick of hidin'
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe if I tell you that I hate you then you'll give me my space
Maybe if I say I love you then you'll throw it back in my face
[Chorus]
I'm a homebody, don't owe nobody nothin'
Thought she was bluffing but she really took my breath away
Dreamt about it yesterday
I'm a homebody, don't go nobody's functions
And she comes to the junction just to take my breath away
Dreamt about it yesterday
