Jungle – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Rock me real slowly

Put a bib on me

I'm just like a baby, drooling over you

The things you do

These days, I'm letting God handle all things above me

The things I can't change are the reasons you love me

Listen you can hear them calling my name

I'm all over the place, I can't sit in one place

I'm not ashamed at all

Still findin' myself, let alone a soulmate, I'm just sayin'

Feel like we one and the same, our relationship changed

That or it never existed

Whenever they say somethin' 'bout us, you listen

But fuck what they talkin' about on your timeline

That's cuttin' all into my time with you

Fuck what they talkin' about on your timeline

That's cuttin' all into my time with you (my time with you, mine)

Rock me real slowly

Put a bib on me

I'm just like a baby, drooling over you

The things you do

She said, "You're my everything

I love you through everything"

I done did everything to her

She forgave me for everything, this a forever thing

Hate that I treat it like it's a whatever thing

Trust me, girl, this shit is everything to me

She from the Jungle, she from the Jungle

I take somebody else's car, drive that undercover

This shit is everything to me, this shit is everything

Don't know where we stand, I used to hit you 'bout everything, oh

Are we still good? Are we still good?

Are we still good? Are we still good?

If I need to talk are you around?

Are you down for the cause?

Are you down? Are you down? Are you down?

Are you down for the cause? Are you down?

Are you down? Are you down?

Are you down for the cause?

You still down? You still down? You still down?

Rock me real slowly (yeah)

Put a bib on me

I'm just like a baby, drooling over you

The things you do

Yeah

These days these new girls they got me nervous

They go to school and do bottle service

They can't decide, they keep switching majors

Being indecisive makes me anxious

Call your number and it's out of service

Who can I call for your information?

What am I supposed to do after we done everything that we done

Who is your replacement?

Are we still good? Are we still good?

Are we still good? Are we still good?

Rock me real slowly

Rock

Rock
