Do You Love Me
Big K.R.I.T. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you love me for real?
(Said my car as I worked her wheel)
Do you love me for real? Do you love me for real?
Do you love me for real?
(Said my car as I worked her wheel)
On the boulevard, oh my Lord
She's so, super fly
Crushed linen inside
This shit way too old, for me to drive
But I really don't care
She let me write her walls, in the pop up trunk
Turn her out, give her thumb
Cause she need it
And she want it
There's no denying how I feel
'Cause this love feels so real
Do you love me for real? Do you love me for real?
Do you love me for real?
(Said my car as I worked her wheel)
Do you love me for real? Do you love me for real?
Do you love me for real?
(Said my car as I worked her wheel)
Oh the boulevard, she go hard
No matter where and when, if I push her buttons she start
She so out of site
Shawty cold as ice
Ain't no shame in her game, you just ain't her type
That ain't no lie at all
She creep and crawl
And without a stall or a pause, I break her off
'Cause she need it and she want it
There's no denying how I feel
'Cause this love feels so real
Do you love me for real? Do you love me for real?
Do you love me for real?
(Said my car as I worked her wheel)
Do you love me for real? Do you love me for real?
Do you love me for real?
(Said my car as I worked her wheel)
Never ever have I ever seen a girl like you before
I love to hug onto your curves don't ever let me go
Hold on tight, I'll run the light, the peddle to the floor
And take us higher than we've ever been
(A place where no one goes)
Lets go
(A place where no one knows)
Lets go
Do you love me for real? Do you love me for real?
Do you love me for real?
(Said my car as I worked her wheel)
Do you love me for real? Do you love me for real?
Do you love me for real?
