[English]

I miss my cocoa butter kisses

Hope you smile when you listen (Yeah)

Ain't no competition, just competin' for attention (Yeah)

And you like, "I'm not on no games"

Well, baby, (Woah) I been peepin', and you ain't been the same

Like, who been on your mind? Who got your time?

Who you been vibin' with and why I can't make you mine?

You used to be textin' me, checkin' me, callin' me your slime

And now you treat me like my worth less than a dime

And if we paint a perfect picture, we can make it last forever

And you the only one I want to wear my orange sweater

I told you I am down for the worse or the better

But I keep sticking to you 'cause them four stupid letters

You got me singin' love songs (Yeah), love songs, love songs

You got me singin' love songs, love songs, love songs (Yeah)

You got me singin' love songs, love songs, love songs (Yeah)

You got me singin' love songs (Uh), love songs, love songs (Uh, yeah)

Hood therapy, open my notepad, get to jottin' notes

Everything you sayin' inspirin', but have you tried a new approach?

Oh, 20-20, I see it clear

I'm not tryna "Little Fears" the love

But findin' love lookin' in the mirror (Love songs)

Ayy, B2K and them

It's a lot of hoes, but I don't play with them

I don't wanna lay with 'em (Lay), wouldn't start my day with 'em

Wouldn't even share shea with 'em, they be ashy

This for my baby, she classy, yeah (D4L)

And still down to fuck in the backseat, yeah

And if we paint a perfect picture, we can make it last forever (Oh)

And you the only one I want to wear my orange sweater

I told you I am down for the worse or the better

But I keep sticking to you 'cause them four stupid letters

You got me singin' love songs, love songs, love songs

You got me singin' love songs, love songs, love songs

You got me singin' love songs, love songs, love songs

You got me singin' love songs, love songs, love songs
