heartbeat

[Chorus: Childish Gambino]

I wanted you to know

That I am ready to go, heartbeat

My heartbeat

I wanted you to know

Whenever you are around, can't speak

I can't speak

I wanted you to know

That I am ready to go, heartbeat

My heartbeat

I wanted you to know

Whenever you are around, can't speak

I can't speak

[Verse 1: Childish Gambino]

I know what your boy like

Skinny tie and a cuff type

He go and make breakfast

You walkin' round naked

I might just text you

Turn your phone over

When it's all over, no settlin' down

My text go to your screen, you know better than that

I come around when you least expect me

I'm sittin' at the bar when your glass is empty

You thinkin' that this song's comin' on to tempt me

I need to be alone like the way you left me

You start callin'; you start crying

I come over; I'm inside you

I can't find you, the girl that I once had

But the sex that we have isn't half bad

Text say that "It's not fair"

That's code for "He's not here"

And I'ma flirt with this new girl

And I'ma call if it don't work

So we fuck 'til it come to conclusions

All the things that we thought we were losin'

I'm a ghost, and you know this

That's why we broke up in the first place, 'cause

[Chorus: Childish Gambino]

I wanted you to know

That I am ready to go, heartbeat

My heartbeat

I wanted you to know

Whenever you are around, can't speak

I can't speak

I wanted you to know

That I am ready to go, heartbeat

My heartbeat

I wanted you to know

Whenever you are around, can't speak

I can't speak

[Verse 2: Childish Gambino]

It's late-night Thursday

I know that you heard me

But you don't want the same thing

Hmm, well, two can play that game

So I'm chillin' with my girlfriend

But she not my real girlfriend

She got a key to my place but

She not my real girlfriend

Stupid, so dummy

Say the wrong thing, and wrong girls come runnin'

I'm paranoid that these girls want somethin' from me

And it's hard to make a dime go one-hunnid

And my dude freakin' out over a worse fate

She on time, but she late for they first date

'Cause he went and tried out a new condom

Slipped off in a threesome, good problems?

Right? Wrong

Askin' 'em if she'd wanna play games

We the Super Smash Brothers, but none of 'em you

I miss the sex where you kiss whenever you through

Sixty-nine is the only dinner for two

I was wrong, but would you have listened to you?

Uh, you were crazy

I got a heart, but the art of choking's

Only thing girls want when you in that smoke and light

[Chorus: Childish Gambino]

I wanted you to know

That I am ready to go, heartbeat

My heartbeat

I wanted you to know

Whenever you are around, can't speak

I can't speak

I wanted you to know

That I am ready to go, heartbeat

My heartbeat

I wanted you to know

Whenever you are around, can't speak

I can't speak

[Verse 3: Childish Gambino]

So we're done? This the real shit?

We used to hold hands like field trips

I'm a jerk, but your dude is a real dick

I read his posts on your wall, and I feel sick

He ain't cool, he ball and all that

But he just a fake nigga who blog in all caps

You couldn't wait to date

I'm goin' straight for your thighs like the cake you ate

I give a fuck about the niggas that you say you ate

You know that I’m the best when I’m a-fake-tionate

I'm the best that you had, face it

J. and Keyshia are related: racist

I give you money; then you burn me, then you made off

She ain't a killer, but she'd fuckin' blow your head off

I know he wonderin', "What the fuck you hidin'?"

That we dated like raps about Bin Laden; ayo, fuck this

Are we datin'? Are we fuckin'?

Are we best friends? Are we somethin'

In between that?

I wish we never fucked, and I mean that

[Outro: Childish Gambino]

But not really

You say the nastiest shit in bed, and it’s fuckin’ awesome
