LLM plays with...
[Verse 1]
I'm trying to find it
Feeling stranded
For a while I almost thought that I had it
It didn't last for long
Said your bad luck
Got me all stuck
Seem to me that I was wrong in everything I got
'Cause I want a lot
[Pre-Chorus]
Someone to care
And to please
Good is good enough for me
Prioritize
What I need
Good is good enough for me
[Chorus]
I wish I had a lover like me
That get me in the motion
Slow motion
Someone that's good for my body
I wish I had a lover like me
Who get me in the motion
Slow motion
Someone that already knows me
I wish I had a lover like me
[Verse 2]
I'm in the right mood
Feeling all good
Seems to me I finally got what I wanted
And I want a lot
Said you're bad luck
Got me all stuck
Seem to me that I was wrong in everything I got
'Cause I want a lot
[Pre-Chorus]
Someone to care
And to please
Good is good enough for me
Prioritize
What I need
Good is good enough for me
[Chorus]
I wish I had a lover like me
That get me in the motion
Slow motion
Someone that's good for my body
I wish I had a lover like me
Who get me in the motion
Slow motion
Someone that already knows me
I wish I had a lover like me
[Bridge]
I'll own it
Keep your things you thought
You never wanted
Just to keep you informed of that
I'm the kind of savage you would never have
[Chorus]
I wish I had a lover like me
That get me in the motion
Slow motion
Someone that's good for my body
I wish I had a lover like me
Who get me in the motion
Slow motion
Someone that already knows me
I wish I had a lover like me
[Chorus]
I wish I had a lover like me
That get me in the motion
Slow motion
Someone that's good for my body
I wish I had a lover like me
Who get me in the motion
Slow motion
Someone that already knows me
I wish I had a lover like me

Alex Flockhart: It’s a love song that you haven’t heard before, it’s a love song that looks inwards to yourself and fucks with all the people who aren’t as good as you at being a lover. You can...
