[Intro]
Yeah, oh, Story Time
[Verse 1]
Yeah, no Channel Orange, babygirl, I know you think about me
I sent you flowers in the winter, know I timed it badly
They say a lot, I say a lot, you say a lot about me
I cut my losses, don't wanna ever see you go home angry
Time slowed when you walked in
Your hair red, hemoglobin, yeah
Acid trip we took a PJ back to Mexico
We went from sofa surfing now we shoot for PepsiCo
[Chorus]
Ooh, you held me hostage (Hostage)
Release me from your bondage (Bondage)
I don't need a prophet (Prophet)
Ooh, yeah
Release me from your bondage (Bondage)
Don't ever leave me wanting (Wanting)
You can keep it honest (Honest)
Ooh, yeah
[Verse 2]
I'm the solution to your problems and your misery
Come grab my hand, we can sail the Seven Seas
Panic rooms never were my destiny
I saw a unicorn across the street
I stood and watched it while it impaled an apple tree
We ain't the rulers of the Earth we're here to garden keep
Yeah, when I die will they remember me?
I can sell you tickets to the trilogy
[Chorus]
Ooh, you held me hostage (Hostage)
Release me from your bondage (Bondage)
I don't need a prophet (Prophet)
Ooh, yeah
Release me from your bondage (Bondage)
Don't ever leave me wanting (Wanting)
You can keep it honest (Honest)
Ooh, yeah
[Bridge]
I surrender my pride
Redefining my life
I was honest
Kept it honest with myself
I was honest
I made a promise to myself
I ain't flawless, yeah
[Chorus]
You, you held me hostage (Hostage)
Release me from your bondage (Bondage)
I don't need a prophet (Prophet)
Ooh, yeah
Release me from your bondage (Bondage)
Don't ever leave me wanting (Wanting)
You can keep it honest (Honest)
Yeah
