3am
Alex Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My girl only call me at 3am
She's never gon love me but we can pretend
I know that she knows she ain't doing me right
But she's looking good almost every night

yeah she only call me at 3am
After spending her night chillin with other men
I don't think we've made any good conversation
After taking my heart now she's testing my patience

I don't have no worries
I'm not in a hurry, I'ma take my time
She's acting kinda flirty
What I don't know won't hurt me
I'ma make her mine

For better or for worse I think I'm in too deep hmm
For better or for worse I think I'm in love
For better or for worse, I know I'm not the first
I think that I'll be fine being the other guy

My girl only call me at 3am
Race up to my place in her crazy new Benz
but she only hitting me up for one reason
love is impossible, is easy
Stomach is queasy, but I say yes every time
cuz my mind see no reason to reject the feeling
of keeping her near me, keeping her near me

Keeping her near me, near me
I know I'm too drunk to speak to her clearly
Keeping her near me, near me
We could be perfectnearly

I don't have no worries
I'm not in a hurry, I'ma take my time
Go to bed at 7:30,
What I don't know won't hurt me
I'll pretend she's mine

For better or for worse I think I'm in too deep hmm
For better or for worse I think I'm in love




For better or for worse, I know I'm not the first
I think that I'll be fine taking it one step at a time
