Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I guess maybe some little problems could arise
(Well, there are always a few)
I mean, if anything happened
And we couldn't be friends the way we are now
That would really be bad
(Devastating)
Because this is very good
(And that would be good)
That would be good, too
The idea is to combine this and that
[Verse 2]
Tryna keep it low
Keep 'em all on the need to know
Tell everybody that we just friends, but
To be honest, that platonic shit's for TV shows
Same place, we with different folks
Case closed if they crack the code
Is it me? Or is you cold?
'Cause, the feelings you ain't showing poking out your clothes
[Verse 3]
Go put a sweater on or get a room
Forbidden fruit, swimming in your juice
Lot of ways I can get to you
But my train of thought is trying get you out your ch-ch-choo
[Verse 4]
Still, we keep it low
Keep 'em all on the need to know
Could somebody tell somebody
I'm somebody and I'm sorry, but somebody gon' need to go (Work)
[Verse 5]
I'm not trying to pressure you
Just can't stop thinking 'bout you
You ain't even really gotta be my boyfriend
I just want to know your name
And maybe some time, we can hook up
We can hang out, we can just chill
[Verse 6]
Still tryna keep it low
Keep 'em all on the need to know
Tell 'em all that we just cool
As far as me and you, we got a simple code
Spending nights, well, that's optional
No telephones in the afternoon
[Verse 7]
I know that overthinking only leads to subtweeting
Every time your ass in the mood
Sharing thoughts when we share a room
Though we barely talk when we share a room
Mmm, in the dark, still see your curves
Body like what, I swear to God, you a miracle
[Verse 8]
Mmm, so we keep it low
Keep 'em on the need to know
Could somebody tell somebody I'm somebody and I'm sorry, but
Somebody gonna need to go, mmm
[Verse 9]
I'm not trying to pressure you
Just can't stop thinking 'bout you
You ain't even really gotta be my boyfriend
I just want to know your name
And maybe some time, we can hook up
We can hang out, we can just chill
[Verse 10]
I mean, let's say, what if we did?
(What if)
Is that like the end of the world or something?
(Certainly not)
Why shouldn't we be able to do that once in a while if we want to?
(I know!)
I mean, really, what is the big deal?
We go in there, we're in there for a while
And then we come back out here, it's not complicated
(It's almost stupid if we didn't!)
It's moronic
(Absurd!)
[Verse 11]
I'm not trying to pressure you
Just can't stop thinking 'bout you
You ain't even really gotta be my boyfriend
I just want to know your name
And maybe some time, we can hook up
We can hang out, we can just chill
Hey
Hey
Hey, hey, hey
