lyrics

VERSE 1
Yo -
What I have to say is tough baby, but I don’t believe in love
You’ll start it with a push, I’ll end it with a shove
You rainin’ down affection, I’m drownin’ in your flood
From every angle you strangle me, baby, with your hugs
You say you “Love me” but - but what the hell is “Love”?
That ain’t sufficient. Clarify what it encompasses
It’s monstrous, confuses all of us
We wax poetic, pathetic shit, more accurate to call it lust
When you look at me - I blush, just your smell - I caught a rush
But your sensuous kisses - girl, that’s not enough
I buy a lot of stuff - expensive food to feed you
Fancy thangs to treat you, and still that ain’t no guarantee to keep you
You say it’s all that you feel?
I’ve seen my parents fall in, then out of it that quick - so how could it be real?!
Some say it last long but we not Bill or Camille
So sick of love songs, girl, and I’m not even Neo
But still, you inspire me to write ‘em
Irrational, taught emotions is vaginal, have to fight ‘em
With zeal - dreamin’ that we could be an item
But them dreams ain’t welcome here, so please don’t invite ‘em


CHORUS
And it feels like a game that I’ll never win
So baby,
Say that you love me again
Yeah
Yeah
Say that you love me...
Yeah


VERSE 2
Liebe. Aşk. Ai. Mi amor.
Six thousand ways to say “Love”. You’ve heard ‘em all before
Girl, I ain’t no hater or mean muggin’
But if you say it million times, how the fucks it ‘spose to mean somethin’
Sure your favorite sangers sing about it.
Can’t trust them, man, they wouldn’t have a damn career without it
My heros were rappers, former trappers with flows
And lesson one was that we shouldn’t love you hoes
‘Cause you can’t believe ‘em. And every playa ‘bove you knows
Even if I actually love you though?...
STOP! -- You’re breakin’ down my defenses. Feel it sinking’ in, so -
(Say that you love me…) -- NO!
Listen Juliet, I don’t wanna be your Romeo
I ain’t Bobby Brown, I don’t need a Tender Roni, yo
I ain’t makin’ no retro love jams, I ain’t Chromeo
“No, means, No” This love’s not consensual
Cause we gotta meet in the middle before we grow
Or we’ll be at each other's throats before we know
And I don’t wanna fight you toe-to-toe
But before you reach the door, gotta make it clear for you go


CHORUS
That I know it’s just a game that I’ll never win
So lady,
Say that you love me again
Yeah
Yeah
Say that you love me…
Yeah

Say that you love me again
Yeah
Yeah
Say that you love me...
Yeah
