You are (so fine, so fine), fine
(So fine, blow my mind) you blow my mind
(Things you do) with the things you do to me
(She sees she's not blind) blind
(Not blind to the) she's not blind
(Things you do, things you do for me)
Things you do for me
But I know
I don't know where to start, but I just want to know when to begin, ay
I don't know where we are, but I just want to go with you again, look, look
I don't know where to start, but I just want to show you what it is
I'm 'bout to lower my guard, so kill me now, unless you want- (hey, lil' fine shit)
You are (so fine, so fine), fine
(So fine, blow my mind) you blow my mind
(Things you do) with the things you do to me
(She sees she's not blind) blind
(Not blind to the) she's not blind
(Things you do, things you do for me)
Things you do for me
But I know
I'm exercising my vulnerability, but you spend all my energy with you
You see me like I don't see me, I want to live in that bedroom
Aye, that 20/20 low, that PRK vision
Every time I lay 16, they stay squintin'
But you still doubtin' me like I'm the same nigga
Same nigga, same nigga, lame nigga, lame nigga
My job got you feeling I'm too dangerous
We done made it through the flames in L.A., and shit
Wait a bit, stay a bit, grateful I pray for this
I'm sick of time, but you really on that patient shit
I know you tryna pace this shit
But I haven't seen your face in years, it's been a day, bae
(She sees she's not blind) blind
(Not blind to the) she's not blind
(Things you do, things you do for me)
Things you do for me
But I know
I don't know what to call it, but I'm never calling you a friend
I'm unthawing this heart, I never thought that I'd ever use again
And I don't know where we are, and I don't give a donut where you been
'Cause I'm 'bout to lower my guard, so kill me now, unless you want-, mm
So it's on now, and I'm on what you on, what you on though
My lil', lil', lil', lil', lil' yeah
So it's on now, and I'm on what you on, what you on, though
Lil', lil', lil', lil', lil', lil', lil'
It's the grace you give me
It's the way I want you near when I'm way too busy
It's the way you never get when I'm anxious, really
How you this patient with me?
Speaking like without having conversations with me
Look, it's the stares you doing
Them soft eyes had body, would swear you Medusa
I love my privacy, but I'm way too proud of this woman
Gather 'round for this woman
Put your hands together, and make it clap, clap, clap
Aye, pick it up, I gotta give it up
That's what down is time, but don't gotta be a crutch
Don't wan' be attached, that happens getting close
There's power in your apps, there's more power in your touch, though
Everything a lot, but not enough, though
Keep it on the low, I need to know for the must-knows
Yeah, I'm geekin', but I'm stuck though
I feel like Whiplash meets Love Jones, what's up, though?
I don't know where we goin', but I just want to go until the end
I'm unthawing this heart, I never thought I'd ever use again
And I can play my new part and never-ever-ever play pretend
'Cause I'm 'bout to lower my guard, I'm 'bout to lower my guard
I'm 'bout to lower my, lower my-
Pick it up, I gotta pick it up
Woman of the year, every day that's in a month
Pick it up, I gotta pick it up
Baby, you're my life, this is more than a crush, though
(She sees she's not blind) Blind
(Not blind to the) She's not blind
(Things you do, things you do for me)
Things you do for me
But I know
