About This Track

'Same Effect' by BENEE is an alternative track from the album 'Hey u x' (2020). The lyrics are flirtatious and wounded at once, pivoting from the idea of someone “pokin'” at a tender place to a plea for closeness and reassurance, with the speaker admitting they cannot live without the other person and wanting them now. The mood balances humour and vulnerability, and leans on the intimacy of small conversations and shared jokes, before landing on an inexplicable pull they cannot fully explain. The refrain lands on want rather than certainty.

"Same Effect" is a track by BENEE, from the album Hey u x, released 13th November 2020. The track is 4:05 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 10 articles about BENEE.

Lyrics

Same Effect

It's funny I feel you pokin' at my heart
You said that what I say, it makes you laugh
How 'bout you come 'round and pick me up?
We'll joke around and talk about real stuff
Don't sell yourself short
There's somethin' about you
Can't explain
But I can't live without you
Now I want you, I'm sick of bein' alone
Lyin' 'round here and you're all that I want
The others, they don't have the same effect
Don't wanna be someone who you forget
You sent a letter
And I read every word
Nothing feels better
I melted when you called
Don't sell yourself short
There's somethin' about you
Can't explain
But I can't live without you
Now I want you, I'm sick of bein' alone
Lyin' 'round here and you're all that I want
The others, they don't have the same effect
Don't wanna be someone who you forget
Now I want you, I'm sick of bein' alone
Lyin' 'round here and you're all that I want
The others, they don't have the same effect
Don't wanna be someone who you forget
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
