For the F1 Album, ROSÉ creates this musical pop song to represent a sexual and romantic relationship between her and her partner. Where she pours her heart into this ode to sexual fun and letting go to enjoy the brief moments of passionate intercourse.
[Verse 1]
You and I are tangled as these sheets
I'm alive, but I can barely breathe
With your arms around me, it feels like I'm drownin'
If I reach for somethin' I can't keep
How bad could it really be?
[Chorus]
So, baby, let's get messy, let's get all the way undone
Come over, undress me just like I've never been touched
Baby, I'm obsessed with you and there's no replica
Maybe if it's messy, if it's messy, if it's messy
Then you know it's really love
[Verse 2]
I want all of your complicated
Give me hell and all of your worst
When the party's over and I'm screamin', "I hate it"
How bad could it really hurt
If tonight we just let it burn?
[Chorus]
So, baby, let's get messy, let's get all the way undone
Come over, undress me just like I've never been touched
Baby, I'm obsessed with you and there's no replica
Maybe if it's messy, if it's messy, if it's messy
Then you know it's really love, love
[Bridge]
You're pullin' back and I'm runnin' for the door
You're sayin' those words and it just makes me want you more
A second chance with our hearts on the floor
Guess it's love
[Chorus]
So, baby, let's get messy, let's get all the way undone
Come over, undress me just like I've never been touched
Baby, I'm obsessed with you and there's no replica
Maybe if it's messy, if it's messy, if it's messy
Then you know it's really love
Love
(Then you know it's really) Love
Love
Messy was written by ROSÉ & Delacey & Cleo Tighe & LOSTBOY & BURNS.
