lyrics

Oh is love overrated?
Well, it’s been debated
Time and time it’s won again
Life up in the city
The stars ain’t half as pretty
As my baby when she wakes up in the morning
Come on, come on say like you mean it
Tell me like you mean it
Now kiss me like we’re out of time
I crave every moment just to be by your side
The center of your earth is mine

Oh I know, we know
This ain’t none of the photographic, scientific love
We both can agree - this ain’t normal, I am captivated love
There’s something in the water
And I feel like I’m in tune with you

Back up - let me tell you about the first time
I saw my love but I didn’t realize
That nature’s got it’s way to unfold
Since then, I didn’t have to show you
The hoops that other ladies made me jump through
I was spinning, calculating what is this all for
I didn’t know you’d steal my soul
You left the gate and door wide open write your name on the wall
I was crunching numbers, overthinking
What does it take to win over your heart?

We know this ain’t none of the formulaic, calculated love
We both can agree - this ain’t normal, I am captivated love
There’s something in the water
And I feel like I’m in tune with you

We know this ain’t none of the photographic, scientific love
We both can agree - this ain’t normal, I am captivated love
There’s something in the water
And I feel like I’m in tune with you
