Fuck this patron, I'm so damn gone

Really wish it was you that was blowing up my phone

But I, know I can't come home to ya

Know I'm not the one for ya

You tell me take a step back

I'm mourning what I can't have

You’re taken I don’t like that

I'm so open, oh, goddam

I blame it on the liquor

I'm calling you press ignore

[What am I supposed to do when I can't help how I feel

All I know is I want you and I hate that this is real, yeah

Said I hate that this is real, yeah

Cos I be drunk texting, drunk texting, drunk texting you

And she be texting back like

This ain't ya man, who the fuck are you?

All up in the mourning wishing you just had me moaning

All up in my feelings wishing you were climbing on it

Boy I wish I was with ya

Wish I could kiss ya

But you in love with her

And I ain't in the picture

I wish, I wish, I wish

I wish, I wish, I wish it was me and you

You got me out here looking thirsty

And I don't deserve to be in this position

When I first met you, you was feeling me

But you didn't tell me I had competition

So what you doing in the club

Being all up in my ear

You damn sure knew that I was drunk

Lead me on and disappear

I'm still gon' blame it on this liquor

And I'm still gon' hope you pick up

What am I supposed to do when I can't help how I feel

All I know is I want you and I hate that this is real, yeah

Said I hate that this is real, yeah

Cos I be drunk texting, drunk texting, drunk texting you

And she be texting back like

This ain't ya man, who the fuck are you?

All up in the mourning wishing you just had me moaning

All up in my feelings wishing you were climbing on it

Boy I wish I was with ya

Wish I could kiss ya

But you in love with her

And I ain't in the picture

I wish, I wish, I wish

I wish, I wish, I wish it was me and you

Can't stop thinking about what I'm missing

I need you boy, I want you on a mission

Don’t shoot me down coz on the low you want my attention

Said you want my attention

I keep telling myself that you'll change your mind tomorrow

So I be drinking to rid of all my sorrows

Get lit, take my mind off shit so this pill I will swallow

I gotta let my mind go

What am I supposed to do when I can't help how I feel

All I know is I want you and I hate that this is real, yeah

Said I hate that this is real, yeah

Cos I be drunk texting, drunk texting, drunk texting you

And she be texting back like

This ain't ya man, who the fuck are you?

All up in the mourning wishing you just had me moaning

All up in my feelings wishing you were climbing on it

Boy I wish I was with ya

Wish I could kiss ya

But you in love with her

And I ain't in the picture

I wish, I wish, I wish

I wish, I wish, I wish it was me and you
