Ooh, bae, I'm stuck to you
I tried to move on and I don't want no more
It feel like love is way too far
These days we don't even talk no more
I want it to be you that's walkin' through my door (Ooh)
Want you in my life by any means
A good night's sleep is only when you in my dreams
You like a drug and baby, I'm your fiend
I think he make you happy, I hope it ain't what it seems
I was scrollin' through the 'Gram
I saw your pictures (Saw your pictures)
Thinkin' 'bout the times you had me all up in my feelings (Feelings)
The years done went by and they got you
Lookin' different (Lookin' different)
I heard you moved on but that shit don't make a difference
I still love you (Oh, oh, yeah)
I still love you (Oh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I still love you (Oh, oh, yeah)
I still love you (Oh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Take a knife and stick it through my heart, please
Ooh, there's no need, for real
The day you left, I regret havin' a heartbeat
Ooh, I don't want it
You gon' make me flash out and take it to your old man
