Can you give me a minute?
Yeah, real quick while I get me some M&M's from the 7-Eleven
I like it 'cause you know how I get down
And you know how I move in secret
And yeah, you might be the one I could tell everything to
You got me in your back pocket
I'll tell you when you're ready
When you stare at me
I feel so beautiful
How you do it like that?
Opposites attract
When you stare at me
I feel so beautiful
I'm gon' blow your phone up
In case there is no tomorrow
And I won't let you go
Like there's no tomorrow
I'm gon' blow your phone up
In case there is no tomorrow
And I won't let you go
Like there's no tomorrow
Yeah, can you tell me why you still love me
And why I feel so deep
Like back at the altar
Oh, you're just feeling your way through me
I just wanna touch you so
I'll sing more and, baby, say less
Still on our honeymoon
You don't know it yet (now you know it)
I'll tell you when you're ready (yeah, I told ya)
When you stare at me
I feel so beautiful
How you do it like that?
Opposites attract
When you stare at me
I feel so beautiful
I'm gon' blow your phone up
In case there is no tomorrow
And I won't let you go
Like there's no tomorrow
I'm gon' blow your phone up (phone up)
In case there is no tomorrow
And I won't let you go
Like there's no tomorrow
You don't know it yet
I'll tell you when you're ready (ooh, ah)
When you stare at me
I feel so beautiful
How you do it like that?
Opposites attract
When you stare at me
I feel so beautiful
I'm gon' blow your phone up
In case there is no tomorrow
And I won't let you go, no
Like there's no tomorrow
I'm gon' blow your phone up
In case there is no tomorrow
And I won't let you go
Like there's no tomorrow
