[Intro]
La-da-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da-da
Haha, yeah, fuck around with it, like, shit like that
[Pre-Chorus]
I need to know, I need to know what it is
When you tell me that you love me, are you just full of shit?
And she's like, "No, that is not what I said"
And her breath stinks bad, needs a few peppermints
[Chorus]
And I know, I know we've been up all night
Girl, I know, I know, why we always fight?
Girl, I won't, I won't be the one, be the one
And why we always, why we always on the run?
Girl, I know
I know, I know, don't fall in love
I know, I know, don't fall in love
I know, I know, don't fall in love
I know, I know
[Verse]
She gets scared and backed into a corner (Backed into a corner)
I don't know what's goin' on (Ooh-ooh)
Told me she had dreams of us in California (In California)
I guess I gotta play this off (Gotta play this off)
Gеt the money, don't take too long (Too long)
Gotta gеt it, gotta bring it back home (Back home)
I got my shades on, hat real low (Real low)
For the people steady hating back home (Back home)
I'm feelin' like a sparkle, too strong (Strong)
I gotta tip, tip on my toes (Toes)
I gotta stick-shift, whip on froze (Froze)
And we can go, just let me know
[Chorus]
We've been up all night
Girl, I know, I know, why we always fight?
Girl, I won't, I won't be the one, be the one
And why we always, why we always on the run?
Girl, I know
I know, I know, don't fall in love
I know, I know, don't fall in love
I know, I know, don't fall in love
I know, I know
