What I did today or the day before
I couldn't tell ya
What song just played
Or the guy's name that lives next door
Hundred dollar bills could be falling from the sky
Wouldn't even notice
But baby, I'm in tune with everything you do, I'm
On every five seven three-eighths inches of you baby
How the salt in the air makes your hair kinda wavy
How you're tongue-tied when you mix wine
With the Gemini, baby I memorized
Every brown sugar freckle that the Lord put on ya
How you lean to the left, forty-five degrees
Right before you're gonna kiss me
If ya can't tell
I've been paying close attention to your, details
Details
I've been paying close attention to your
Iced mocha latte, one shot espresso
That you stir with your left hand
Sleep with two pillows, DVR Kimmel
'Cause your eyes get heavy
And start talking in your sleep
Fighting with somebody
You don't think you do
But trust me girl, I've studied every
Five seven three-eighths inches of you baby
How the salt in the air makes your hair kinda wavy
How you're tongue-tied when you mix wine
With the Gemini, baby I memorized
Every brown sugar freckle that the Lord put on ya
How you lean to the left, 45 degrees
Right before ya you're gonna kiss me (hey)
If ya can't tell (hey)
I've been paying close attention to your, details
Details
I've been paying close attention to your, details
Oh, yeah
Hundred dollar bills could be falling from the sky
I wouldn't even notice
But baby, I'm in tune with everything you do
I'm completely focused
In every five seven three-eighths inches of you baby
How the salt in the air makes your hair kinda wavy
How you're tongue-tied when you mix wine
With the Gemini, baby I memorized
Every brown sugar freckle that the Lord put on ya
How you lean to the left, 45 degrees
Right before ya you're gonna kiss me (hey)
If ya can't tell (hey)
I've been paying close attention to your details
Whoa ohh
I've been paying close attention to your (details), your details
Yeah, oh
