[Verse 1]
  ADon't know why but I like that Emyou think I'm so laid back

  AAnd you love that I move fastEm, you don't notice one red flag
  G'Cause on the surface DI'm too perfect
[Pre-Chorus]
ATrust me as soon as you go, EmI'll make fake scenarios
GWhere I say, "I love you", you sayD, "Gross"
That leads to cArying in the grocery store, Emman, I miss my bathroom floor
No dGirty looks from the moms in aisle fDour
