I'm the type to wear you out and make you dream in different sounds

I'm the type the morning after your sister wants around

...

I might not believe in monogamy

The moment I fall, that's it for me

I get obsessed with no jealousy

...

That's the kind of lover I am

Doesn't matter you're a woman or a man

That's the kind of lover I am (Lover that I am)

You can safely put your heart in my hands

That's the kind of lover I am (La-la-la)

I'm not the type to call you out and fight in front of your friends

But oh Lord we'll be having some words in my Mercedes Benz

...

I might not believe in monogamy

The moment I fall, that's it for me

I get obsessed with no jealousy

...

That's the kind of lover I am

Doesn't matter you're a woman or a man

That's the kind of lover I am (La-la-la)

You can safely put your heart in my hands

That's the kind of lover I am (La-la-la)

...

I'll hold you, console you, really get to know you

I'll hold you, console you, every night I'll show you

With the passion of a one night stand

That's the kind of lover I am (La-la-la)

...

Ah-la-la

La-la-la

Ah-la-la-la-la

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ah-ah

...

Doesn't matter you're a woman or a man

That's the kind of lover I am (Or you could be anything in between)

You can safely put your heart in my hands

That's the kind of lover I am (La-la-la)

...

I'll hold you, console you, really get to know you

I'll hold you, console you, every night I'll show you (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

With the passion of a one night stand

That's the kind of lover I am (La-la-la)

...

You know what? I've been really good on my own lately

Like I don't need anybody or anything

I'm feeling good by myself

But if somebody comes along

And they just look at me the right way and they tell the right joke (Haha)

I don't care if you got a dick

I don't care if you got a WAP

I-I just wanna to love

You know what I'm saying?

Like I just wanna ****ing to share my life with someone at some point

Right now I'm good though I don't need anybody, I'm good
