This not normal, can't keep my mind off you Took what I taught you to a whole other level Heart cold, but you worked your way into my mental I was in trouble from the minute that I met you Flyin' colors, but you pass when I test you Pardon self, know I'm rough 'round the edges Blame it on the trenches, the shit I won't mention I don't feel it now, it's not what I expected But I'm goin' with the flow Wild sex, grabbin' on your throat Down for shit that I ain't even know None of these bitches come close Fuck it, on my mama, you the GOAT [Chorus: Jorja Smith] And if I only had you on my side I'd have no questions on the things left behind Oh, see, it hurts me to keep you in my heart If bein' in love is my downfall, then I'll be down for you [Verse 2: Nas] Silk shirts and my chest show this ice work I blew a kiss at H.E.R. from afar at a Jorja Smith concert She'll probably respond like Halle did, I got a list Teyana, Zoe Saldaña, Madonna, wish I could twist I don't care, pull your hair, crack first night, that's how it be Sneaky link?

Maybe that broke-tooth version of me was, I'm old-school now Cabernet, fireplace, Persian rug, I'll hold you down Send a plane for you, new Birkins, we hit the ground runnin' The homies laughin' and clown because I found someone If I love the girl, who care what you like? Y'all ain't Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, or Mike, but she my new edition She said it's yours and you been what I'm missin' [Chorus: Jorja Smith] And if I only had you on my side I'd have no questions on the things left behind Oh, see, it hurts me to keep you in my heart If lovin' you is my downfall, then I'll be down for you And if I only had you on my side I'd have no questions on the things left behind Oh, see, it hurts me to keep you in my heart If lovin' you is my downfall, then I'll be down for you (Love) [Verse 3: Prodigy] For all things, relaxin' Jacuz' on the roof out in Singapore Laughin' so hard the Clicquot came out my nose, ew Priceless memories, I suppose Pack a few changes of clothes Couple suits, you know, bathin', formal, jeans, and some boots We don't do the chancletas, but we do the Gucc' sandals With the blue and red strap, my crew We some ghetto dap dons on that luxury hood shit Audemars, Vacheron, Hublot the wrist Diamonds is for chicks, we distinguish gangsters It separates us from these wannabe famers, wanksters We jumpin' inside the shark tank with black tips, narrow tooth, and tiger sharks The finest girls in designer heels And she can keep them bitches on when she diggin' her nails with passion [Chorus: Jorja Smith] And if I only had you on my side I'd have no questions on the things left behind Oh, see, it hurts me to keep you in my heart If bein' in love is my downfall, then I'll be down for you
