Lust
DATS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been waiting for so long to find some that i can trust
But then i'm torn between the two i ask myself is this love or lust
My whole life i've played a fool yeah that's why i'm all alone
Cause getting hurt just isn't cool no i'm so tired of moving on
Is this love or lust 
I used to go crazy for that love shit 
Man it would amaze me when that love hit
I couldn't control the fire when that love lit
It treated me like a baby when the love sit
Yeah it felt so good but kept me so sick
Something like the sweetest love robin thicke
I was fool cause my heart she was robbing it
And when i tried to rob her back she was bobbing it
Playing all these cause my mind she was crossing
When i asked her was the feeling mutual she was lost
 But then i realized she never wanted conversation
Only thing she wanted was me with my clothes off
I was hurt but i had to pay the cost
It didn't work man i had to make a toss
She was a flirt with no intentions she was false
I thought she was a great catch randy moss damn
I've been waiting for so long to find some that i can trust
But then i'm torn between the two i ask myself is this love or lust
My whole life i've played a fool yeah i that's why i'm all alone
Cause getting hurt just isn't cool no i'm so tired of moving on
Is this love or lust 
So many ups and downs like a roller coaster
Relationships will never go like they supposed to
One day we all good we getting closer
The next thing you know i'm getting the cold shoulder
Hold up this ain't a game I'm getting older 
Man i ain't got no time for nobody that's bi polar
I said you was my baby but i ain't pushing no stroller
You making this love stink and your attitude is the odor
Got a playstation but i don't need a controller
Need me a rock baby i don't need me a boulder
You can pump your brakes before you scratch your rotor
Then we can start it over again a new folder
I've been waiting so long for real passion
Man i gotta move on until it happens
Am i loving or lusting i need somebody to trust in
I need some time to adjust then i'm getting action
I've been waiting for so long to find some that i can trust
But then i'm torn between the two i ask myself is this love or lust
My whole life I've played a fool yeah that's why i'm all alone




Cause getting hurt just isn't cool no i'm so tired of moving on
Is this love or lust
