Mama said “you’re a pretty girl”

What’s in your head it doesn’t matter

Brush your hair, fix your teeth

What you wear is all that matters

Pretty hurts

We shine the light on whatever’s worst

Perfection is a disease of a nation

It’s the soul that needs the surgery

That 9 to 5 just stay alive

What goes up, ghost around

Ghost around

It’s what you do

It’s what you see

I know if I’m haunting you

You must be haunting me

You must be haunting

(Love you, love love you)

I’ve been drinking, I’ve been drinking

I get filthy when that liquor get into me

I’ve been thinking, I’ve been thinking

Why can’t keep my fingers off it, baby?

I want you

In love, in love

We be all night

In love, in love

Ride it with my surfboard, surfboard

Surfboard

Graining on that wood

Graining, graining on that wood

I’m swerving on that

Swerving, swerving on that big body

Been serving all this

Swerve, surfing all in that big body

Been serving all this

Swerve, surfing all in this good, good

Can you eat my skittles

It’s the sweetest in the middle

(yeah, yeah yeah)

I’m a lean back

Don’t worry it’s nothing major

Make sure you clean that

It’s the only way to get the flavor

Turn that cherry out, turn that cherry out

Turn that cherry out, turn that cherry out

Baby put your arms around me

Tell me I’m the problem

Know I’m not the girl you thought

You knew and that you wanted

Because you’re no angel

Either, baby

Boy, this all for you just walk my way

Just tell me how it’s looking babe

Tell me how it’s looking babe

Oh, there daddy, daddy didn’t bring the towel

Oh, baby, baby be better slow it down

Took 45 minutes to get all dressed up

We ain’t ever gonna make it to this club

Take all of me

I just wanna ne that girl you like

The kind of girl you like

Is right here with me

Let me sit this ass on you

Show you how I feel

And rock right up to the side of my mountain

Send all your sins all over me

Babe, me, babe, me

Kiss me

Pray we don’t overflow

Baby, I know you can feel it pulse

Keeping the peak of my waterfall

I just wanna say, you’re mine, you’re mine

I just wanna say, you’re mine, you’re mine

Forget what you heard

You’re mine, you’re mine

All I’m really asking for is you

In the darkest night night

In the darkest night night

I’ll search through the crowd

I’ll search through the crowd

Your face is all that I see

I’ll give everything

Baby love me lights out

Baby love me lights out

You can turn my light out

I woke up like this

I woke up like this

We flawless

Ladies tell ‘em

I woke up like this

I woke up like this

We flawless

I thought I could live without you

Hey, hey

But nothing I know could break us down

Could break us

I fought for you

The hardest, it made me the strongest

But heaven couldn’t wait for you

No heaven couldn’t wait for you

So go on, go home

Make it last forever

Come on baby won’t you hold on to me

Hold on to me

Blue

You love like XO (Blue)

You love like XO (Blue)

You love like XO (Blue)

As long as you know who you belong to

I remember being young and so brave

I knew what I needed

(Pretty hurts

Shine the light on whatever’s worst)

We be all night, in love

Promise I’m keeping mine

You love me like XO

(When you’re lying in your bed)

You love like XO

(Are you happy with yourself)

When you put your arms around me

(Are you happy with yourself)

Yes
