[Part I: Sweet]

No, no, no, no, no, listen, listen

(Call when you get lost, lost)

The driver gon' drop you off

(Call me when you get lost, lost)

A'ight, it's warm, the waterfall is crazy

I don't know, make somethin' up, tell him somethin'

Uh, come on

Still on the boat?

Call me if you get lost!

You and I, we fell in love

I read the signs, ain't know what it was

But God gotta know he might have peaked when he made you

The cosmos' only mistake is what they named you (what that mean?)

They should call you sugar, you so sweet

Well, they should call you sugar, girl, you so sweet to me

Boy, they should call you sugar, sugar, oh, you so sweet

'Cause baby, you're the sweetest, sweetest, sweetest thing I've known

Baby, you're the sweetest thing

Even if you left me out here stranded

My feelings wouldn't change a bit

(You know how I feel about you, are you ready?)

You know how I feel, baby

Infinite, the love I have for you

A diamond couldn't put a dent in it

Uh, go to the bridge thing (okay)

Darling, you're the wind under my wings

My heart beats triple time when I see ya

Somethin' I can't control

If I compared you, the Sun is withstandin' (Sun)

You got a smile that could light up a planet (smile), yeah (oh, oh)

And I just wanted you to know (they should call you)

They should call you sugar, you're so sweet

Well, they should call you sugar (why?), 'cause you're so sweet to me (sugar)

Boy, they should call you sugar (sugar), you're so sweet (oh, oh)

'Cause baby you the sweetest, sweetest, sweetest thing I've known (ooh, girl)

(Sweetest)

They should call you sugar, you so sweet

(Sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar)

Well, they should call you sugar, girl (why?), you so sweet to me

Boy, they should call you sugar

You so sweet (you so sweet, yeah)

'Cause baby you the sweetest, sweetest, sweetest (I know)

And you look so good (yeah)

And you smell so good (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

And you taste so good (yeah)

Oh you so, so good (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

You're the sweetest (yeah, you are, haha)

Sweet like a motherfuckin' brown sugar, sweet potatoes (are you ready?)

Or somethin'

Haha

Oh, yeah

The plan was to stick my toe in and

Check the temperature but

Next thing I know

I'm drownin'

Appelle-moi si tu te perds

[Part II: I Thought You Wanted to Dance]

This here for the sunseekers

Run the track

What makes you think

I'm not in love?

How could you know

What's best for us?

Why am I here

Standing alone?

'Cause I thought, I thought you wanted to dance, yeah

(Welcome to the disco)

You so good to me (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Yeah, it felt good to me (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

You so good to me (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

You so good to me (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

So, what makes you think (what makes you think)

I'm not in love? (I'm not in love?)

And how could you know (how could you know)

What's best for us? (what's best for us?, us, us, us)

Why am I here (why am I here)

Standing alone? (standing alone?)

Because I thought you wanted to dance with me

Honestly, it's all love all the time, yeah (yeah, yeah)

I ain't mean to lead you on, because

Him and I got some things that we're trying

But my energy belongs to you

I want you so bad, but not too fast

It's not your fault we can't pretend because

What can go wrong?

So what makes you think

I'm not in love? (feels so good)

How could you know, know, know

What's best for us?

Why am I here

Standing alone?

'Cause I thought, I thought you wanted to dance, yeah

(Run the track)

'Cause I thought, I thought you wanted to dance

'Cause I thought, I thought you wanted to dance

('Cause I thought you wanted to dance with me)

I thought you wanted to dance

('Cause I thought you wanted to dance with me)

I thought you wanted to dance

I wish that we never met, I wish that we ain't connect

Like lego, connection good, but mixed signal if you say so, like cardio

We sat up and down, but we didn't blink, felt like dirty dishes

'Cause we was in sync, I swear to God if you and him never linked

I tear that ass up like somethin' was stole

I make them glass balls roll back to your skull

Call a tail number, where you wanna go?

The fuck do he got that I don't got a lot of?

There go my ego again, that's the problem

The fuck you expect? I go get what I want

I want you to say you picked me with your voice

I'm twenty-five, love, but I came by a choice

You promised to me but that's not the point

You got me out here smokin' joints

You got me out here losin' point

I'm cancellin' shoots and I'm cancellin'-

I'm hitchhiking, you pull over, so invitin'

The seat got my name on it, but who driving?

He hiatus we spend time and we repeat and we rewind it

Your headlights? It hit my eyelid

Love is blinding, y'all together? Don't remind me, so confusin'

What we doing, how y'all doing? Oh, you choosin' him?

Okay, I gotta cope with losing, fuck

I ain't been sleepin' well, twin I'll never tell

Stay busy so I don't think, 'cause downtime is when it sink in

I stare at old pictures, I, I thought you wanted to dance (dance)

I thought you wanted to dance, I (dance)

Maybe, maybe (for you)

What's the chance, though?

I wish that we had better timing

I'll save a dance just for you

So don't forget about me, ba-ba-ba-da

I'll save a dance just for you

I wish that we had better timing

I'll save a dance just for you (only for you, only for you)

So don't forget about me (no), ba-ba-ba-da

I'll save a dance just for you
