[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 - what they talkin' about on your timeline

That's cuttin' all into my time with you

F- what they talkin' about on your timeline

That's cuttin' all into my time with you

...

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 treated like it's a whatever thing

Trust me girl, this - is everything to me

She from the Jungle, she from the Jungle

I take somebody else's car, drive it undercover

This - is everything to me, this - is everything

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

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

...

These days these new girls 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 doing everything we do

Who is your replacement?

Are we still good? Are we still good?

Are we still good? Are we still good?

...
