Butterflies
Denise Julia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Finding love in the worst place to be
Different dudes in the party
Finding no truth 'cause they lyin'
Hittin' up girls but you want me
So I entertain 'em boys, say I'm lonely
But I figured I need real, I hate empty
Is it simply the buzz from the liquor?
Butterflies on your neck make me quiver
Is it true 'cause I hear all the rumors
But I gotta ask
How you make me act like this? Oh no
How you make me act like this? Oh no
How you make me trip like this? Oh no
Though this ain't new to me
I ain't used to this
How you make me act like this? Oh no
How you make me act like this? Oh no
How you make me trip like this? Oh no
Though this ain't new to me
I ain't used to this
Lookin' at you boy, I see that you're one of a kind
Tatted up, a pretty smile
Your body buff, your sleezy lines
Player playin' all his games
But I see through you and your fade
Yeah, you fuckboy and your chains
They ain't gon' make me run away, no
But have you had a girl like me
Give a taste of loyalty?
Have you had a girl like me? No, no, no
But I gotta ask
How you make me act like this? Oh no
How you make me act like this? Oh no
How you make me trip like this? Oh no
Though this ain't new to me
I ain't used to this
How you make me act like this? Oh no
How you make me act like this? Oh no
How you make me trip like this? Oh no
Though this ain't new to me
I ain't used to this
Used to this fantasy, no
Used to this fallacy
I ain't used to
I ain't used to this
