[Intro]
(ok is the hardest, I swear to God)
(We gon' be okay)
[Chorus]
I'm like, "Where you at? Can't see you, I need you now"
You do it so right, better teach me how
You talk about a feelin', I feel it now
Look back if I could, but I'm not allowed
I'm like, "Where you at? Really need you now"
You do it so right, better teach me how
You talk about a feelin', I feel it now
Look back if I could, but I'm not allowed
I'm crazy and I'm nervous and I'm sweatin' and I'm blushin'
Think I'm doin' it for somethin', but I'm doin' it for nothin'
The look on her face, tears runnin'
Don't know what to say, but you still say somethin'
Feel alive when you do what you're not allowed
But you should know, this isn't what life 'bout
I'ma die before I ever cry out
And I'ma get struck down if I'm a liar
Hot headed, leave you burnt, playin' with fire
Would you ever trade your life for desire?
Would you ever trade your life for desire?
Would you ever—, uh
Would you ever—, uh
[Chorus]
I'm like, "Where you at? Can't see you, I need you now"
You do it so right, better teach me how
You talk about a feelin', I feel it now
Look back if I could, but I'm not allowed
I'm like, "Where you at? Really need you now"
You do it so right, better teach me how
You talk about a feelin', I feel it now
Look back if I could, but I'm not allowed
I'm crazy and I'm nervous and I'm sweatin' and I'm blushin'
Think I'm doin' it for somethin', but I'm doin' it for nothin'
The look on her face, tears runnin'
Don't know what to say, but you still say somethin'
Feel alive when you do what you're not allowed
But you should know, this isn't what life 'bout
I'ma die before I ever cry out
And I'ma get struck down if I'm a liar
Hot headed, leave you burnt, playin' with fire
Would you ever trade your life for desire?
Would you ever trade your life for desire?
Would you ever—, uh
Would you ever—, uh
