Love made a spot on my floor

Somethin' 'bout you take my heart out

Picture a million more, but you are the pick of 'em

Toxicating

Drownin' in love of your self, no

Don't wait for me

I'll sink in

Save me from my myself again (Self again, self again)

I'm breaking, lift me up again (Up again, up again)

Tell me you're feeling down again

I'ma lift you up

Pull up under your house again

I'ma pick you up

Hopin' out of my car again

You don't pick up, call again, call again (Call again)

I'm somebody you can call a friend

Me and you versus all of them

We be doin' this often

Be with you in the morning time

Go with you to drink coffee

You even let me meet your mommy

She like when I got you beside me

Your mama said she think I'm awesome

Your brother know to never try me

You might as well go hypnosis me

Your hands all over my body

You told me to come and save you

Not Superman, but I'm trying

Not faulting me is so amazing

You **** around with DaBaby

You getting rid of all the oldies

I'm ****in' around with the Goldiie, yeah

Toxicating

Drownin' in love of your self, no

Don't wait for me

I'll sink in

Save me from my myself again

I'm breaking, lift me up again

Save me from my myself again

I'm breaking, lift me up again
