Lyrics

[Intro]
Bongo by the way!
[Verse 1]
Bumper to bumper like LA in traffic
I write the lyrics, she make the captions
Who gon' direct you with all them theatrics?
But of course
[Chorus]
Ain't that the way it's supposed to be?
'Posed to be, it's supposed to be? Yeah
Here with me, here with me, yeah
'Cause you're here with me (Wait)
[Verse 2]
Like New York in traffic
I make the features and do all the casting
Who gon' direct me with all these theatrics?
But of course
Go 'head and roll one, ain't gotta pass it
I'll play the role, but this ain't no actin'
This show is over but we can't be cancelled
But of course
[Chorus]
Ain't that the way it's supposed to be?
('Posed to be)
'Posed to be, it's supposed to be? Yeah
('Posed to be)
Here with me, here with me
'Cause you're here with me
[PreChorus]
Give me more than sex, yeah, I need to connect
Don't wanna wake up in the morning feeling sad and regretful
Don't wanna press, but when it's us want you to make me feel special
But of course
[PreChorus]
Give me more than sex, yeah, I need to connect
Don't wanna wake up in the morning feeling sad and regretful
Don't wanna press, but when it's us want you to make me feel special
But of course
[Chorus]
Ain't that the way it's supposed to be?
'Posed to be, it's supposed to be? Yeah
Here with me, here with me, yeah
'Cause you're here with me
