Shallow Love

[Intro: Jack Gilinsky]
Is a shallow love for real?
Ooh

[Verse 1: Jack Johnson]
Everywhere I go, I see love turn into somethin' it's not
People caught up in the image, when's this shit gon' stop?
When he gets down on his knee and that question gets popped
She's like, "Yes, babe!" Eyes still locked at the rock
He's got bands
He wants a pretty lady who wants a Mercedes-Benz
So they can both show off to their friends
They're in the whip
They're in the penthouse and they're in the jet to France
Damn, it seems like love's the only thing that they ain't in
Divin' in headfirst into some shallow waters
I'm just touchin' on a subject that I feel is kinda catastrophic
I'm not sayin' every couple with money's got this problem
But in some cases without the label, she'd be straight up robbin'
Takin' vows to the coffin on the wedding day
Ain't no prenupt needed, she convinced him, it's true
Perfectly curved, believin' every word that she spewed
Was blinded by the beauty, can't see through

[Chorus: Jack Gilinsky]
Is this shallow love?
Or is it something real?
You make it hard to deal
Not knowin' if this is shallow love
The way we live so well
Can make it so hard to tell
What you in it for?
What you really in it for?

[Verse 2: Jack Johnson]
So girl, tell me, what you in it for?
Is it 'cause I'm young and livin' like a centerfold?
Is it 'cause I'm takin' you places that you ain't been before?
By the looks of it this love is too fake
We might as well just call the dentist, yo
Can you see why I'm trippin' though?
'Cause man, if shit's like this now
Then what's it gon' be like when we get to the pinnacle?
And I suppose only time's gon' tell
But as of now, we're doin' fine, no help
Girl you're a piece of work that God designed so well
But you don't need to check the worth before you ride with me
Put that man aside
If he's all about bein' with someone just to get inside
Or if he's hopin' and prayin'
That you gon' stay when he gets caught
When he slips up, fightin', pullin' all sorts and types of straws
Now the jig's up, left broken in pieces like a jigsaw
But that's just how shit goes
When you let the shallow love get hope
Girl I just wanna know

[Chorus: Jack Gilinsky]
Is this shallow love? (What's up?)
Or is it something real? (Something real)
You make it hard to deal (So hard to deal)
Not knowin' if this is shallow love (Come on)
The way we live so well (So well)
Can make it so hard to tell (Uhh uhh yeah)
What you in it for?
What you really in it for?

[Bridge: Jack Gilinsky]
Nowadays these girls be so ruthless
2 A.M. knockin' on my front door, who's this?
Girl, I don't even know your name
This ain't the time yo
Oh my God, this is so insane
Like I ain't even got your number saved in my iPhone
Oh

[Chorus: Jack Gilinsky]
Is this shallow love? (What's up)
Or is it something real?
You make it hard to deal
Not knowin' if this is shallow love (What's up)
The way we live so well (So well)
Can make it so hard to tell
What you in it for?
What you really in it for?

[Outro: Jack Gilinsky]
Tell me now, now tell me now
