Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's ideal
You need someone to tell you how to feel
And you think your happiness is real
There's so much more the world has to reveal
But you choose to be concealed
[Verse 2]
So you're somebody now
But what's a somebody in a nobody town?
I don't think you even know it
So you're somebody now
But what's a somebody in a nobody town?
[Verse 3]
You made enough to quit a couple years ago
But it consumes you
It's everywhere you go
And just the thought alone got you trippin'
Got you losing your mind
And I don't blame you
It's everything you know
[Verse 4]
But I own this time
This ain't new
Now I decide
When we're through
[Chorus]
I love, you love
This love
We're professional
I know, you know
We're sophisticated
At lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin'...
We're professional
At lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin'...
We're prof-
[Verse 5]
What does it mean, oh, oh
When your heart's already numb?
You're professional
Won't treat it like it's personal
No, 'cause it's just love
It always makes its way back around
It's dispensable
To fall is unacceptable
[Verse 6]
'Cause everything you've been through made you stronger
And every day you learn about yourself
And nothing really played out how it's supposed to
Depending on somebody else's wealth
But now you know the value of a dollar
And girl, I make enough of it to spend
I love the way you put yourself together
I love the way you make that body bend
For me again, oh yeah
[Chorus]
I love, you love
This love
We're professional
I know, you know
We're sophisticated
At lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin'...
[Verse 7]
All of those nights you were up
Barely holding your own
Girl, you've got it made
Had you blaming yourself
For when life did you wrong
Now you've got it made
Getting rich to the drums
Of your favorite song
Girl, you've got it made
'Cause your freedom was here
In this cage all along
[Verse 8]
Ooh, how'd you drain
All the soul
From your eyes?
How'd you teach
Teach yourself
How to smile?
In a world
Where your dreams
Can't be real, no
Every touch
That you sell
Is a lie
[Chorus]
I love, you love
This love
We're professional
I know, you know
We're sophisticated
At lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin'...
We're professional
At lovin', lovin', lovin', lovin'...
We're professional
