Lyrics

[Verse 1]
South London, I'm a South London girl
I wonder what I should get a tattoo of
I know that my mama would kill me
So maybe I won't then, maybe I won't then
Where is my distraction
Picked up my phone, I see your name and
Must have been a few long weeks since I heard from ya
I been doing fine thanks
Maybe I won't then, maybe I won't then
[Verse 2]
The thing is I'm weak when I been rolling
I might just give up and let you call me
I would be the girl to lose this one
I would be the girl to lose this one
The thing is you know I'm the baddest loser
And if I wanna win I've got to lose her
I won't be the girl to lose this one
So I begin to find a distraction, a distraction
[Verse 3]
Oh I just need to find something
A way to stop me wondering
Oh I just need to find something
A way to stop me wondering
About you
[Verse 4]
East London, you're a East London boy
You had me strung up like a puppet toy
Oh shit wait, I'ma stop talking
I'm stop thinking 'bout you
Where is my distraction, shopping
I'ma buy a paint brush
Grab a couple colors and
Carry half the weight of
Everything I'm feeling so I can try to pretend
I'm really autistic and I don't really miss this
[Verse 5]
The thing is I'm weak when I been rolling
I might just give up and let you come in
I would be the girl to lose this one
I would be the girl to lose this one
The thing is you know I'm the baddest loser
And if I wanna win I've got to lose her
I won't be the girl to lose this one
So I begin to find a distraction, a distraction
A distraction, a distraction
[Verse 6]
Oh I just need to find something
A way to stop me wondering
Oh I just need to find something
A way to stop me wondering
About you
[Verse 7]
North London, I'm in North London now
Decided you don't get to hold me now
If you like, you can always call my phone
Hear the dial tone and then the answer phone
I'll be fine if I ignore the sound
When you call to see if I'm around
The moment that you think that you have won
I will have found the perfect distraction
