Lyrics

BETTER THINGS

I just found comfort in you
I don't want no other but you
Tired of the struggle with you (oh-oh, oh-oh)
You ain't gotta leave me so confused

And maybe I'll find a better thing
Someone that don't treat me like a fool
Onto better things
Polar opposite of what you do

Onto better things
Better things, better things
Onto better things, better things
Can't you find the time?

I stay with the mic, so keep the advice
You looking like a thief through my eyes, save me a slice
Running through the streets in thе night
And up on the front lawn, with sprinklers on and wet shirts

A high guy need a bеd first
Need good weed and head first
We going headfirst
Ay, 'cause I put the bread first

I just found comfort in you
I don't want no other but you
Tired of the struggle with you
You ain't gotta leave me so confused

And maybe I'll find a better thing
Someone that don't treat me like a fool
Onto better things
Polar opposite of what you do

Onto better things
Better things, better things
Onto better things, better things
Can't you find the time?

Hate to love it
It's too good to be true
Easy does it
Breaking all the rules

Undercover
Outside by the pool
Grapes and honey, mmh
Chocolate-a-la-mode

Hate to love it, had to get a room
Hate to love it, yeah
