In this track, The Weeknd warns his girl to not fall in love with him, or he will just leave her. However, she can’t seem to help herself, and Abel does not want to be the one held responsible.
This song is preceded by an unreleased interlude detailing a conversation between Abel and his girl.
[Intro]
Ehh, oh yeah
[Verse 1]
Hope you see
It won't mean a thing to me
I've been doing this too long
Baby girl, I've felt it all (Ooh)
So watch out
If you try to play your luck (Ooh)
Ain't nobody gonna care enough
To catch you fall
[Hook]
So don't you fall in love
Don't make me make you fall in love
Don't make me make you fall in love with a nigga like me
Nobody needs to fall in love
I swear I'm just a bird
Girl, I'm just another bird
Don't make me make you fall in love with a nigga like me
Like me (Like me) (Ohh)
[Verse 2]
You tried
You tried to warn me
But, baby, I'm warning you
Girl, I'll show you
This is no game
You'll be falling to the point of no return
No return
[Hook]
Don't you fall in love
Don't make me make you fall in love
Don't make me make you fall in love with a nigga like me
Nobody needs to fall in love
'Cause I'm just a bird (Ahh)
Girl, I'm just another bird (Woo)
Don't make me make you fall in love with a nigga like me
Nobody needs to fall in love
[Bridge]
I know you're rolling hard with it, don't lie
I know it's got a hold of you
I know you're rolling with it
Baby, don't you lie, baby
I know you're rolling hard with it, don't lie
I know it's got a hold of you
I know you're rolling with it
Baby, don't you lie, baby
[Outro]
So don't you fall in love
Don't make me make you fall in love
Don't make me make you fall in love with a nigga like me
Like me
'Cause, girl, I'm just a bird
Girl, I'm just another bird
Don't make me make you fall in love with a nigga like me
Like me
