Funny, huh
Last night I'm sure you said you loved me
Woke up to unexpected space in my bed, man
You in my head, well
I don’t know what time you left
But I find it kind of rude that you can't even call
I wish I done knew that before I let you have it all
Oh, funny, mmh
Now I know it was your plan all along
To leave before my alarm
Well see
You were lucky to be
With somebody like me
Baby I'm a queen, yeah yeah
Oh, oh hell no
You just set the tone
You must have not known
That I’m not no
One night only, well
No I'm not, no I'm not no
One night only (ooh)
Ay
Funny
You was the first one to say trust me
Whisper your thoughts, whether you scream them instead
Like the thoughts in my head
When I wake up in love, leave my heart in your bed
It was so scary
Wonderful queen, might just get married
Well I'll be back, no, please don't worry
It don't mean you no harm
Left before the alarm
But I'm never too far
Well see
You were lucky to be
With somebody like me
Baby I'm a queen, yeah yeah
Oh, oh hell no
You just set the tone
You must have not known
That I’m not no
One night only, well
No I’m not, no I'm not no
One night only (ooh)
I don’t even know why you came over
You was drunk and I was sober, huh
I didn't even want you here
You asked for me, you called
And I picked up 'cause I'm a fool
But, that’s what you do to me
You make me weak, you make me free
You make me all the things that I always dreamed a man would make me be
And then you left
With no intention of returning
And now my heart is burning
Because after all this
After all that we have not and have been
I will still get you
Everybody like
Please don't like him, he one nights 'em
He don't wife 'em, he go bye-bye
We don't talk much, we go night-night
You like love right, I might love like
I might want to, don't know how to
Way too proud to, say I don't
Say I do, with a song
Something blue, borrowed love
You recoup, who seek who
Who need who, where we lay
You need truth, you need more
Than I'm coming through
Shoulda never got too comfortable
Shoulda never looked over you to get under you
Uh, wait, apologies don't make me bulletproof
Well see
You were lucky to be
With somebody like me
Baby I'm a queen, yeah yeah
Oh, oh hell no
You just set the tone
You must have not known
That I'm not no
One night only, well
No I'm not, no I'm not no
One night only (yeah)
(Do you love, do you love, oh)
