From The Way We Used to Love.

Lyrics

Release

Well my baby knows how to treat me well I do not doubt that she's competent But sometimes I feel like the opposite She removes all of my confidence Blabberin' over on all of my words That are stirring inside of my head I can't seem to reject this appearance of you Yeah, your visage has taken me over the moon

My baby knows that is the Way that it goes, she doesn't Give any show, but I know her better Than anyone, anyone She was my lover I really loved her She was my first one I can't replace her, no

When will you release your hold on me? Tried to find my peace inside this drink People always talk about the girl that got away Wonder what I gotta do to get you out my brain

You're that girl that everybody talks about You're that girl that I don't wanna live without

And when she smile back I know she love me Tight skirt, throw it back- let me know you want me Take it off, settle down- make me feel desired She's only here because she's lonely and she needs admired Went too long without the male gaze, needs to feel That heat blaze, well baby girl, I can relate I can give you anything you want within this timeframe But come tomorrow, I don't wanna see you on my bedframe

My baby knows that is the Way that it goes, she doesn't Give any show, but I know her better Than anyone, anyone She was my lover I really loved her She was my first one I can't replace her, no

When will you release your hold on me? Tried to find my peace inside this drink People always talk about the girl that got away Wonder what I gotta do to get you out my brain

You're that girl that everybody talks about You're that girl that I don't wanna live without
