Lyrics

[Intro]
We're not working, working, oh
[Verse 1]
It's a feeling that I can't explain
That I miss you more when I'm away
And I swear I've been counting the days
But when you're here, I think I need some space
Well, shit, we've always had good conversations
Or we used to
But I haven't been serious since high school
Maybe I'm the one to blame
But in real life it's not the same, no
[Chorus]
And when I'm working (Yeah)
You're the only one that I want
But we're not working (No)
Yeah, I told you from the start
I'm not perfect
Yeah, that's why you like me so much
We're not working (Yeah)
We're not working
No
[Chorus]
La-da, da, da-da, da
La-da, da, da-da, da, da
La-da, da, da-da, da
La-da, da, da-da, da, da
[Verse 2]
You say all we need is time (All we need is time, yeah)
I don't wanna dim your light
But I can't say I'm an introvert (No, I can't)
The time is right, we just don't work
(Don't work no more, no)
Oh, oh, I don't mean to be rude (Mean to be rude, no)
Still got a thing for you
I gotta tell the truth, yeah
Oh, oh, no more leadin' you on
That's wrong, so wrong
[Chorus]
And when I'm working (Yeah)
You're the only one that I want
But we're not working (No)
I told you from the start
I'm not perfect, no
That's why you like me so much
But we're not working (Yeah)
We're not working
[Chorus]
(We're not working) La-da, da, da-da, da
La-da, da, da-da, da, da (We're not working, working, no)
La-da, da, da-da, da
La-da, da, da-da, da, da
La-da, da, da-da, da
La-da, da, da-da, da, da (We're not working, working, no, oh)
La-da, da, da-da, da
[Bridge]
Now, oh
I don't mean to be rude ((Don't mean to be rude))
Still got a thing for you
I gotta tell the truth, oh
No more leadin' you on
That's wrong, so wrong
[Chorus]
And when I'm working (When I'm working, no)
You're the only one that I want
But we're not working (Shawty, we're not working)
I told you from the start
I'm not perfect
That's why you like me so much
But we're not working
We're not working
[Chorus]
(We're not working) La-da, da, da-da, da
La-da, da, da-da, da, da (We're not working, working, no)
La-da, da, da-da, da
La-da, da, da-da, da, da
La-da, da, da-da, da
La-da, da, da-da, da, da (We're not working, working, no)
La-da, da, da-da, da
