Basement

[Intro: Russ]

Yeah

Mm, yeah yeah

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah

[Chorus: Russ]

Love me like I'm still in the basement (Yeah)

Love me like I still haven't made it (Yeah-yeah)

Who are you if you give up? (Yeah)

What's real love without slip ups? (Hey)

[Verse 1: Russ]

I been drinkin' 'til I can't see any red flags

(I ignored your faults)

Another couple shots I'm probably gonna text back

(I ignored your faults)

These other women, something's missin'

When I fuck 'em, barely touch 'em

When I fuck you, we be kissin'

All, all, all, all night

(I ignored your faults)

[Chorus: Russ]

Love me like I'm still in the basement (Yeah)

Love me like I still haven't made it (Yeah-yeah)

Who are you if you give up? (Yeah)

What's real love without slip ups? (Hey)

[Verse 2: Jessie Reyez]

Love me like your momma doesn't hate me

I ignored your faults

Ain't you say all your friends say that they rate me?

But I ignored your faults

And now these new ones I ain't used to

They be tryna do what you do, but they missin'

'Cause they shit ain't close

I heard your momma talkin' like she blames me

But you know this is your fault

[Bridge: Russ & Jessie Reyez]

Just tryna get you closer

Yeah, fuck you and your closure

I ignored your faults

I tell you to come over

Don't care that I'm not sober

Just ignore my faults

[Chorus: Russ]

Love me like I'm still in the basement (Yeah)

Love me like I still haven't made it (Yeah-yeah)

Who are you if you give up? (Yeah)

What's real love without slip ups? (Hey)

[Outro: Russ & Jessie Reyez]

Just tryna get you closer

Yeah, fuck you and your closure

So I ignored your faults

I tell you to come over

Don't care that I'm not sober

Just ignore my faults
