This was Jack J’s first song that he helped produce on the album “A Good Friend Is Nice”
[Verse 1: Jack G]
I don't think I ever really had her
I don't think it even really matters
How'd we go from happy ever after?
To nothing but a beautiful disaster
[Pre-Chorus: Jack G]
Now I see you out here on your own, and you been
Sippin' on the Hennessy, like you don't remember me
Girl, we both know, don't pretend
That we ain't got history
[Chorus: Jack G]
We got so much tension, could cut it with a knife
Too much tension, but I don't really mind
All this tension is building up inside
And I wanna break it with you
[Verse 2: Jack J]
Girl, don't pretend I ain't seen you naked
I feel this tension between us, I think it's time we break it
I see you sippin' henny' straight, we ain't used to chasin'
My 21st down in Cabo, yeah, what a vacation
Always playing hard to get, you had me so impatient
You had me going crazy well before the fornication
And yeah we fuck shit up, girl, we Florida State it
Now both me and the memories sorta faded
But we got way more to make, and
If you like familiar places, we can take it to my room
Lyft, pullin' up in two
Used to tell me all the time how the clubbin' ain't for you
So I say we make the move, what's there left to lose?
We already lost everything that we had
Yeah our rose died 'fore it even had the chance to bloom
Shit, remember back when it was me and you, girl?
[Pre-Chrorus: Jack G]
Now I see you out here on your own, and you been
Sippin' on the Hennessy, like you don't remember me
Girl, we both know, don't pretend (Ooh)
That we ain't got history (Oh)
[Chorus: Jack G]
We got so much tension, could cut it with a knife
Too much tension, but I don't really mind
All this tension is building up inside
And I wanna break it with you
So much tension, could cut it with a knife
Too much tension, but I don't really mind
All this tension is building up inside (Yeah)
And I wanna break it with you
[Bridge: Jack G]
Now I see you out here on your own
Sippin' Hennessy, yeah
Girl, I think you know that we both know, oh oh
[Chorus: Jack G]
That we got so much tension, could cut it with a knife (Oh yeah)
Too much tension, but I don't really mind
All this tension is building up inside (Oh)
And I wanna break it with you (Yeah)
So much tension, could cut it with a knife (Girl)
Too much tension, but I don't really mind (I don't really mind)
All this tension is building up inside (Building up inside)
And I wanna break it with you
