Lyrics

Throwback

[Verse 1]

I was looking for what's hot now

But timeless never fades out

Like the beauty of a red rose

The power in a heart of gold

[Pre-Chorus]

I ran out of fucks to give you, baby

Ain't got the time to spend on you

Left it all in the past, now I'm over that

I'm classic, I'm better than new

[Chorus]

Something like a throwback, better put your jeans on

Used to pull me down, now you're playing my song

I'm like a throwback, when the record comes on

I know you're gonna dance tonight

'Cause the beat on the street only lasts till dawn

But the beat that's in me, lasts forever

Something like a throwback, now you're putting me on

I know you're gonna dance tonight

[Verse 2]

Superficial shit don't mean a thing

I've thrown away my diamond ring

And if you could see behind the scenes

I'm dancing in my old blue jeans

[Pre-Chorus]

I ran out of fucks to give you, baby

Ain't got the time to spend on you

Left it all in the past, now I'm over that

I'm classic, I'm better than new

[Chorus]

Something like a throwback, better put your jeans on

Used to pull me down, now you're playing my song

I'm like a throwback, when the record comes on

I know you're gonna dance tonight

'Cause the beat on the street only lasts till dawn

But the beat that's in me, lasts forever

Something like a throwback, now you're putting me on

I know you're gonna dance tonight

[Bridge]

We're timeless like diamonds

Heads snapping when we throw it back

The finest, don't try this

Still the baddest and you can't hate that

We're timeless like diamonds

Heads snapping when we throw it back

The finest, don't try this

Still the baddest and you can't hate that

[Pre-Chorus]

I ran out of fucks to give you, baby

Ain't got the time to spend on you

[Chorus]

Something like a throwback, better put your jeans on

Used to pull me down, now you're playing my song

I'm like a throwback, when the record comes on

I know you're gonna dance tonight

'Cause the beat on the street only lasts till dawn

But the beat that's in me, lasts forever

Something like a throwback, now you're putting me on

I know you're gonna dance tonight

[Outro]

We're timeless like diamonds

Heads snapping when we throw it back

The finest, don't try this

Still the baddest and you can't hate that

We're timeless like diamonds

Heads snapping when we throw it back

The finest, don't try this

Still the baddest, sti-still the baddest
