Lyrics

The Need To Know (feat. SZA)

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.

I guess maybe some little problems could arise

(There are always a few)

If anything happened and we couldn't be friends

The way we are now, that would really be bad

(Devastating)

Because this is very good

(And that would be good)

That would be good too, the idea is to combine this with that

Tryna keep it low

Keep 'em on that need to know

Tell everybody that we're just friends

But to be honest that plutonic shit's for tv shows

Same place, we're with different folks

Case closed if they crack the code

Is it me, or is you cold?

Cause the feelings you ain't showin' pokin' out your clothes

Go put a sweater on or get a room

Forbidden fruit, swim in your juice

Lot of ways I can get to you

But my train of thought is tryna get you out your ch-ch-choo

Still we keep it low

Keep 'em on that need to know

Cause somebody tell somebody

And somebody then sorry but somebody gon' need to go

I'm not tryna pressure you

Just can't stop thinkin' 'bout you

You ain't even really gotta be my boyfriend

I just wanna know your name

And maybe some time

We can hook up

We can hang out, we can just chill

Tryna keep it low

Keep 'em on that need to know

Tell everybody that we're just cool

As far as me and you, we got a simple code

Spendin' nights, well that's optional

No telephones in the afternoon

I know that overthinkin' only leads to subtweetin'

Every time your ass in the mood

Sharin' thoughts when we share a room

Though we barely talk when we share a room

In the dark, still see your curves

Body like what, swear to God you're a miracle

I mean let's say, what if we did?

(What if?)

Is that like the end of the world or something?

(Certainly not!)

Why shouldn't we be able to do that once in a while if we want to?

(I know!)

I mean really, what is the big deal?

We go in there, we're in there for a while

And then we come back out here. It's not complicated

(It's almost stupid if we didn't!)

It's moronic

(Absurd!)
