Tensions high
Tryna remember all the advice
That I've been told a million times
Packaged nice in clever rhymes
It seems like
l never learn my lesson do I?
Cuz I know this road, it's twists and winds
Now I'm thinking, looking in your eyes
"Baby drop the act
We both know that you gon take it back
No, don't gimme that
This is just a feeling it won't last"
You look nice
Subtle sweet smile and nails painted white
Whispering to your friends all night
Ears are burning but it's cool outside
Ooh I know you're fine
But I got hangups in this closet of mine
Not your crime but you're doing the time
Self-sabatoge is a habit of mine
Blame it all on the circumstance
That I won't give you your first chance
I'm scared you'll hurt me because you can
But I still wanna ask you to dance
It's a Greek tragedy
How the hero falls at the end of Act III
You just want to get closer to me
But all I can think is
"Baby drop the act
(Drop the act)
We both know that you gon take it back
(Take it back)
Ooh, no don't gimme that
(Don't give me that)
This is just a feeling it won't last
(No it won't last)
Baby drop the act
(Drop the act)
We both know that you gon take it back
(Take it back)
Ooh, no don't gimme that
(Don't give me that)
This is just a feeling it won't last
(No it won't last)"
I think you see it in my expression
(Take my mind off of things)
Even if you don't know why I am stressing
You know that
I could stand to think just a little bit less than
(Take my mind off of things)
Than I am right now, oh your smile is so infectious
You know that
That tension's high
Tryna remember all the advice
That I've been told a million times
Packaged nice in clever rhymes
With your hand in mine
I start to feel what resembles fine
And now as I look in your eyes
For the first time I don't think
"Baby drop the act
(Drop the act)
We both know that you gon take it back
(Take it back)
Ooh, no don't gimme that
(Don't give me that)
This is just a feeling it won't last
(No it won't last)
Baby drop the act
(Drop the act)
We both know that you gon take it back
(Take it back)
Ooh, no don't gimme that
(Don't give me that)
This is just a feeling it won't last
(No it won't last)"
