[English]

What's your intentions

Baby, do I drive you crazy?

Have you been honest lately?

Do you mind me sayin' "I don't know how to feel?"

Is this love even real

I don't know

No, I don't want to be alone

It's making me sentimental

The feelings I can't control

It always just fucks with my mental

It's only you that knows

I guess that you're somebody special

But I don't know, girl I don't know-ooh-woah

Lately, I feel like I'm too attached, we're stuck in the moment

Not thinking 'bout how we move too fast

But I kinda like it this way

Who gives a fuck what they say

It's you and me right now, baby (Ooh-woah)

Can't even think, I've been losing track

I'm stuck in the middle

Start thinking 'bout how you do me like that

But I kinda like it this way

Who gives a fuck what they say

It's you and me right now, baby, uh-huh

What you doing? (What you doing?)

And where you've been? (and where you've been?)

Did I miss a text back?

Are you with your friends?

Could you tell me where you are

Don't stay too far

You know that I won't trip 'bout the time

Close to nine

Oh, please don't dim the lights

Can we just talk about it over at my place?

And, baby, stay the night

Oh, let me make it right

And let me tell you what I wanted from that day, yeah, yeah

Lately, I feel like I'm too attached, we're stuck in the moment

Not thinking 'bout how we move too fast

But I kinda like it this way

Who gives a fuck what they say

It's you and me right now, baby (Ooh-woah)

Can't even think, I've been losing track

I'm stuck in the middle

Start thinking 'bout how you do me like that

But I kinda like it this way

Who gives a fuck what they say

It's you and me right now, baby

So, baby, tell me would you know?

(Would you notice me if I fell apart?)

Oh, would you know?

(Would you notice me if I fell apart?)

I might be over it all, oh, could you look at me

Think I might be getting withdrawals

Why can't you look at me?

So, baby, tell me would you know?

(Would you notice me? I can't get enough)

Oh, would you know?

(Would you notice me? I can't get enough of you)

(I can't get enough bae)

I might be over it all, oh, could you look at me?

Think I might be getting withdrawals

Why can't you look at me, baby?

Lately, I feel like I'm too attached, we're stuck in the moment

Not thinking 'bout how we move too fast

But I kinda like it this way

Who gives a fuck what they say

It's you and me right now, baby (Ooh-woah)

(You're still on my mind)

Can't even think, I've been losing track

I'm stuck in the middle

Start thinking 'bout how you do me like that

But I kinda like it this way

Who gives a fuck what they say

It's you and me right now, baby, uh-huh
