(Gold Coast's Finest)
(There, now hold me close)
(There, now hold me close)
(There, now hold me close)
(There, now hold me close)
But knowing that he kissed you
Oh, damn, I can't believe you
(There, now hold me close)
I can't believe you took it there
Did he run his fingers through your hair?
Did he sing to you like this?
Why'd you let him steal that kiss?
I thought you loved me, girl, I'm on my knees
I thought no one could stop us
I thought no one could stop us
And I forgive you, girl, for what you did
Let me handle this, babe
Go on, tell me his name
He's what you want
He's what you want
He's what you want
He's what you want
I'm what you need, what you need, what you need
I'm what you need, what you need, what you need
He's what you want
He's what you want
He's what you want
He's what you want
I'm what you need, what you need, what you need
I'm what you need, what you need, what you need
Forgot everything you promised me
Forgot everything that you texted me
And you ride around town but your tanks on 'E'
And I never would've thought you'd cheat on me, yeah
You're like, nah, nah, nah, nah
I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're doing things I never thought you'd do
October leaves are changing like they do
Girl, all these girls are calling up my room
And one of them was you
And now it's one a.m., girl
Damn, I need to cool off
I thought you loved me, girl, I'm on my knee
I thought no one could stop us
I thought no one could stop us
And I forgive you, girl, for what you did
Lemme handle this, babe
Go on, tell me his name
He's what you want
He's what you want
He's what you want
He's what you want
I'm what you need, what you need, what you need
I'm what you need, what you need, what you need
He's what you want
He's what you want
He's what you want
He's what you want
I'm what you need, what you need, what you need
I'm what you need, what you need, what you need
I like this right here
