I guess maybe some little problems could arise (There are always a few) I mean, if anything happened and We couldn't be friends the way we are now That would really be bad (Devastating) Because this is very good (And that would be good) That would be good too The idea is to combine this and that Tryna keep it low Keep 'em all on that need to know Tell everybody that we're just friends But to be honest that platonic shit's for TV shows Same place, we're with different folks Case closed if they crack the code Is it me, or is you cold? 'Cause the feelings you ain't showin' pokin' out your clothes Go put a sweater on or get a room Forbidden fruit, swimmin' in your juice Lot of ways I can get to you But my train of thought is tryna get you out your ch-ch-choo Still we keep it low Keep 'em all on that need to know Could somebody tell somebody I'm somebody and I'm sorry But somebody gon' need to go, work I'm not tryna pressure you Just can't stop thinkin' 'bout you You ain't even really got to be my boyfriend I just wanna know your name And maybe some time We can hook up We can hang out, we can just chill Tryna keep it low Keep 'em all on that need to know Tell 'em all that we're just cool As far as me and you, we got a simple code Spendin' nights, well that's optional No telephones in the afternoon I know that overthinkin' only leads to subtweetin' Every time your ass in the mood, mmh Sharin' thoughts when we share a room Though we barely talk when we share a room In the dark, still see your curves Body like what, swear to God you're a miracle Still we keep it low Keep 'em on a need to know Could somebody tell somebody I'm somebody and I'm sorry But somebody gon' need to go, mhm I'm not tryna pressure you Just can't stop thinkin' 'bout you You ain't even really got to be my boyfriend I just wanna know your name And maybe some time We can hook up We can hang out, we can just chill I mean let's say, what if we did? (What if?) Is that like the end of the world or something? (Certainly not!) Why shouldn't we be able to do that once in a while if we want to? (I know!) I mean really, what is the big deal? We go in there, we're in there for a while And then we come back out here, it's not complicated (It's almost stupid if we didn't) It's moronic (Absurd) I'm not tryna pressure you Just can't stop thinkin' 'bout you You ain't even really got to be my boyfriend I just wanna know your name And maybe some time We can hook up We can hang out, we can just chill Hey, hey Hey, hey, hey
