Lyrics

Testing

Test, test, test, testing
Oh-oh
Test, test, test, testing
Oh-oh
How can I connect with you? (With you)
Uh (oh-oh-oh)
When you don't see my point of view? (No-oh)
It's a shame, man, it's a shame
The way you take the simple things and complicate
Is it insecurities that I can taste? (Taste it)
When I'm givin' you my all, you bound to match, yeah
Testing, testing (test, testing)
Testing, testing my love, oh
Testing, testing (oh-oh)
Can you give me somethin' I can trust? Oh
I'm lookin' for a bestfriend
Somebody that I can run away with, oh
Testing, testing (oh-oh)
Testing, testing my love (oh-oh)
Don't be pushin' me, I'm just tryna please
I just wanna know who you are
It's not embarassin' to let it all free, I know where you are
I don't mind doin' all this cliché shit, I might
Come to your house, I could sing or I could spit tonight
Put me on my shoulder, I turn on the mic and then
You go, I go, one-two, ah
Testing, testing (test, testing)
Testing, testing my love, oh
Testing, testing (oh-oh)
Can you give me somethin' I can trust? Oh
I'm lookin' for a bestfriend (bestfriend)
Somebody that I can run away with, oh
Testing, testing (oh-oh)
Testing, testing my love (oh-oh)
Oh, oh-oh
Yeah, yeah-yeah
Da-da, da-da, uh (oh-oh)
Testing, testing (oh)
Testing, testing my love, oh (my love, love, love)
Testing, testing (oh-oh, testing)
Can you give me somethin' I can trust? Oh (trust, trust)
I'm lookin' for a bestfriend (bestfriend)
Somebody that I can run away with, oh (with, oh)
Testing, testing (oh-oh, yeah)
Testing, testing my love (oh-oh)
