Lyrics
Know What I Want
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They say one door open when another door close
I'm prayin' that's the way that it goes
'Cause right when I'm 'bout to turn the door knob
It seems it's all locked up and the key decomposed
Remind me this the life that I chose
Go full speed
I can't read the signs that say stop
I brush it off and try to act all nonchalant, yeah
I notice everything, I just act like I don't
But I know what I want (I know)
Yeah, I know what I want (just what)
But I know what I want (I want)
But I know what I want (don't tell me, 'cause)
You swear that you're grown
It's 5 in the morning
You won't call, or come home
I'm getting really tired of it
All up in my phone, boy, leave it alone
And I'm learning, now I know
Should have left your ass in the friend zone
They say one door open when another door close
I'm prayin' that's the way that it goes
'Cause right when I'm 'bout to turn the door knob
It seems it's all locked up and the key decomposed
Remind me this the life that I chose
Go full speed
I can't read the signs that say stop
I brush it off and try to act all nonchalant, yeah
I notice everything, I just act like I don't
But I know what I want (I know)
Yeah, I know what I want (just what)
But I know what I want (I want)
But I know what I want (don't tell me, 'cause)
But I know what I want (I know)
Yeah, I know what I want (just what)
But I know what I want (I want)
But I know what I want (don't tell me, 'cause)
I know just what I want
Don't tell me, 'cause I know
Yeah, I know
Yeah, I know
Don't tell me
I know what I want
Yeah, I know what I want
But I know what I want
Yeah, I know what I want
But I know what I want (I know)
Yeah, I know what I want (just what)
But I know what I want (I want)
But I know what I want (don't tell me, 'cause)
You swear that you're grown
It's 5 in the morning
You won't call, or come home
I'm getting really tired of it
All up in my phone, boy, leave it alone
Should have left your ass in the friend zone
