Verse 1

"Throwin' petals like, "Do you love me or not?"
Head is spinnin', and it don't know when to stop
'Cause you said "Forever," babe, did you mean it or not?
Hold on, hold on
You leave me on read, babe, but I still get the message
Instead of a line, it's three dots, but I can connect them
And if it ain't right, babe, you know I respect it
But if you need time, just take your time
Honey, I get it, I get it, I get it"

I'm Cupid with arrows, babe, I'm just shootin' my shot, mm-mm
If I could get in, drop me a pin, hop in the whip and come over
Don't wanna be friends, just skin-to-skin, I wanna get closer and closer and closer, uh"

Full Lyrics

Throwin' petals like, "Do you love me or not?"
Head is spinnin', and it don't know when to stop
'Cause you said "Forever," babe, did you mean it or not?
Hold on, hold on
You leave me on read, babe, but I still get the message
Instead of a line, it's three dots, but I can connect them
And if it ain't right, babe, you know I respect it
But if you need time, just take your time
Honey, I get it, I get it, I get it

Way you got me all in my head
Think I'd rather you in my bed
Whatever it is, you know I can take it
I'm countin' the days, how many days 'til I can see you again?

Blowin' kisses like, "Will you catch 'em or not?"
I'm Cupid with arrows, babe, I'm just shootin' my shot, mm-mm
If I could get in, drop me a pin, hop in the whip and come over
Don't wanna be friends, just skin-to-skin, I wanna get closer and closer and closer, uh

The way you got me all in my head
Think I'd rather you in my bed
Whatever it is, you know I can take it
I'm countin' the days, how many days 'til I can see you again?

You got me all, all, all, all of my love (holdin' my feelings, babe)
And you got me all, all, all, now I'm noddin' my head
And you got me all, all, all, in my feelings, alright (you got me all in my head, you got me nodding my head, you got-)
'Cause you got me all, all, all in my feelings, every time (You got me all in my head, you got me noddin' my head, you got-)

The way you got me all in my head (the way you got me all in my head)
Think I'd rather you in my bed
Whatever it is, you know I can take it
I'm countin' the days, how many days 'til I can see you again?
