[English]

Yeah

Maybe it's just not our time (our time)

You got your life, I got mine (I got mine)

You're too far away, let's be real (let's be real)

To get too attached, let's be real (let's be real)

But baby, on the other hand

We be kicking it, can't find nothing wrong with you

You stay up with me, help me with a song or two

Your momma loves me and I think my momma loves you too

Oh, oh

I love you dearly, love it when you near me

Love how you don't care I make weekly what they make yearly

Yes, I love your accent, I love your compassion

Plus you singing sweetly, yeah

Then on the flip side, barely sent an invite

But that's all it took, you're on a plane, I'm in your insides

Talkin' to my homies, I can't be the only

This can't be her first time

Maybe it's just not our time (our time)

You got your life, I got mine (I got mine)

You're too far away, let's be real (let's be real)

To get too attached, let's be real (let's be real)

But baby, on the other hand

We be kicking it, can't find nothing wrong with you

You stay up with me, help me with a song or two

Your momma loves me and I think my momma loves you too

Oh, oh

Yeah, I can't tell, do I miss you enough to drink?

Or did I drink enough to miss you? So in love, I'm scared to blink

God forbid I miss a moment with you, we sharing the bed

Taking leaps of faith of love together, we sharing the ledge

And around that time my trust issues be kickin' in (kickin' in)

I swear Latina and trouble is just a synonym (synonym)

Despite chemistry, it's so hard to overlook how we met

Miami hotel, girl, it's hard to forget

Maybe it's just not our time (our time)

You got your life, I got mine (I got mine)

You're too far away, let's be real (let's be real)

To get too attached, let's be real (let's be real)

But baby, on the other hand

We be kicking it, can't find nothing wrong with you

You stay up with me, help me with a song or two

Your momma loves me and I think my momma loves you too

Oh, oh

(Oh, woah, woah, woah, woah)

(Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

(Na-na-na-na na, na, na, na, na)

(Na-na-na-na na, na, na, na, na)
