Man, I gave you the world
And that weren’t even good enough, huh

Because nothing lasts forever, huh, no (but wait)
Keep it on the low (low) ’cause I’ma throw a party after
A party a-, a party a-, a party after this
I bring the noise, I’m tryna go ’til you can’t feel your toes (feel your toes)
Make that pum pum overdose, bring you back to life
And she said she like roses (you’re too special)
You deserve, you deserve roses and you know this (know)
You deserve roses, girl, I made some mistakes that I changed
But you wanna hold this, hold this shit over my head, yeah

You deserve to get a brand new coupe, yeah (coupe)
You deserve to get them brand new shoes, yeah, yeah (shoes)
You deserve for me to tell you the truth, yeah
Now you texting me one, two, three, tryna come through (booty call)
Baby, I can’t be what you want to (knock it off)

It’s just that right now, my heart’s broken like roses (yeah)
This is a token of my ‘preciation, baby (you’re too special)
You deserve roses, oh and you know it (you’re too special)

Got her screaming like (yeah, huh)
Everything off but the heels
I bet a hundred mil’, I ain’t never had no pussy like this (like this, like this)
Ooh, oh, ooh, ooh
