Lyrics
Hit the streets, city beat
I know what you want
Talk to me softly
French restaurant
Every time I turn around
I look at you like "What now?"
I'm telling you it's all true
I'm talking to him while I'm thinking of you
I'm trying my best, I don't know what to do
I'm talking to you, don't know what it's about
I know they think that I have everything
If I can't have you then they can't have me
(I know it looks like I have everything)
But if I can't have you then they can't have me
(I know they think that I have everything)
Why am I crying on the balcony?
(I know it looks like I have everything)
If I can't have you then they can't have me
Honestly
Super cool, swimmin' blue
Will you paint me sweet?
Look at you painting cool in the garden
Every time I turn around
I look at you like "What now?"
Can't one single thing be just what it appears to be?
I'm talking to him while I'm thinking of you
I'm trying my best, I don't know what to do
I'm talking to you, don't know what it's about
I know they think that I have everything
If I can't have you then they can't have me
(I know it looks like I have everything)
But if I can't have you then they can't have me
(I know they think that I have everything)
Why am I crying on the balcony?
(I know it looks like I have everything)
If I can't have you then they can't have me
Honestly (yeah)
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I know they think I have everything
If I can't have you then they can't have me
I know it looks like I have everything
If I can't have you then they can't have me
