Tuesday night
I stumble down 2nd, I’m hoping you read my mind
And I see your lights on
I know you’re picking up ’cause you always sleep next to your phone
And I’ve been giving it up for a minute
‘Cause I’m for the streets you’re walking on
And now I’m waking you up just to hit it
Till all your sheets are on the floor
If we go there tonight
Yeah, it’s just my take, when you make mistakes, you gotta make ’em twice
If we go there tonight
From the way it looks, yeah, I guess I’m good at giving bad advice
But it’s not so bad if this don’t last for long
It’s not so bad if this don’t last for long
And I’ve been giving it up for a minute
‘Cause I’m for the streets you’re walking on
And I’ve been waking you up just to hit it
Ah
Till all my sheets are on the floor
You get what you want, but you get less too
I know what I want, and I just want you
It’s not so bad, this won’t last, no
You get what you want, but you get less too, oh
If we go there tonight
Yeah, it’s just my take, when you make mistakes, you gotta make ’em twice
If we go there tonight
From the way it looks, yeah, I guess I’m good at giving bad advice
But it’s not so bad if this don’t last for long
It’s not so bad if this don’t last for long
It’s not so bad if this don’t last for long
