3 Nights – English Lyrics

• By: Dominic Fike

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Three nights at the motel

Under streetlights

In the city of palms

Call me what you want, when you want, if you want

And you can call me names if you call me up

Three nights at the motel

Under streetlights

In the city of palms

Call me what you want, when you want, if you want

And you can call me names if you call me up

Feel like the least of all your problems

You can reach me if you wanna stay up tonight

Stay up at night

Green lights in your body language

Seems like you could use a little

Company from me

But if you got everything

Figured out like you say

Don't waste a minute

Don't wait a minute

It's only a matter of time

For you-ou, to-oo

Tell me now

'Cause I've been up for

I've been up for

Three nights at the motel

Under streetlights

In the city of palms

Call me what you want, when you want, if you want

And you can call me names if you call me up

Three nights at the motel

Under streetlights

In the city of palms

Call me what you want, when you want, if you want

And you can call me names if you call me up

I can't fix each and all your problems

I'm no good with names and faces

Just sent me naked pictures

From her neck down to the waist

Stuck in my feelings and vows

She stopped returning my calls

Flaws turn into walls and barricades

And I'm too fucked on and over both ways

And now every long day is a bad one

I can't make you call or make you stay

Or take you off the pedestal

So I get lost in modern music watching movies

Talking to the walls in my room

Walking through the halls in my head

Just tryna make sure it all makes sense

I ain't made of money

Maybe someday you could take it from me

I'm up too late

Thinking 'bout you

In MIA for

Three nights at the motel

Under streetlights

In the city of palms

Call me what you want, when you want, if you want

And you can call me names if you call me up

Three nights at the motel

Under streetlights

In the city of palms

Call me what you want, when you want, if you want

And you can call me names if you call me up
