No Strings Attached
Dumbfoundead & DJ Zo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was at an artshow, just for the free booze
Filled with the bougie schmoozing trying to be cool
Then a pretty little thing pointed at a painting
Asked me what I thought, but didn′t know what I was saying
I mumbled some shit about Warhol then played it off
Changed the subject then proceeded with my mating call
Asked her a bunch of unnecessary questions
Then hit on her using some corny art reference
Like girl your body's like a masterpiece
She responded like oh wow now that was cheesy
She said calm down, be relaxed and easy
And I almost fell in love when she passed the bleezy
Didn′t asked for her name, she didn't ask for mine
I just whispered in her ear girl your ass is fine
What a classic line, lets grab a glass wine
And go back to your crib or go back to mine

Well I don't need to know a thing about your past
Ohh ohh
No I just want one night with you no strings attached
Ohh ohh
And I know that we might not be a perfect match
But I just want one night with you no strings attached

We stumbled into her small studio apartment
Clothes scattered everywhere and little dog barkin
Growling and giving me that stanky look
With her coffee tabletops filled with Banksy books
With a crate full of records
Kitchen floor checkered and a framed up poster of Audrey Hepburn
I don′t care what she′s into im into her
And just one night of fire will prevent the burn
Lets take our clothes off, before the buzzkill
Roll with the punches like we're taking love pills
Sweat like your pedaling your fixie uphill
This ain′t love baby this is just how love feels
Lets chill, one night till the sunlight
This is just fun right, and we're just young right
Ima kiss you down to your tattooed little hands
Wake up to crushed up Pabst Blue Ribbon cans

Well I don′t need to know a thing about your past
Ohh ohh
No I just want one night with you no strings attached
Its one o' clock in the mornin′
And your buzzin' like a honeybee
Why you tryin to control it when you wanna just come home with me

I pretended like I ain't seen the pictures of her man
Pictures of em together on there trip to japan
This is one night no strings so I could give a damn
Some of the best nights end up never being planned
She a graphic designer im a passionate rhymer
Maybe one day she can design me a rap flyer
I ain′t know much about her but I know enough
We got up the next morning and then rolled one up
Got high, locked eyes and made out a bit
Ordered some take out and grubbed out like pigs
Spent a lazy sunday with one cool chick
Not a single regret, I wouldn′t undo shit
We knew what was up, you can call us both sluts
But we woke up feeling like a million bucks
I just picked up my wallet and my keys from the ground
Didn't exchange numbers, I′ll see you around

Well I don't need to know a thing about your past




Ohh ohh,
No I just want one night with you no strings attached

We try new things by lying and cheating
A constant cycle of goodbyes and greetings
Act like love has a higher meaning
We’re afraid to let loose of are tied up demons
Time consuming
Mind confusion
Im trying theres gotta be a science to it
Is it worth the effort
Im not an expert
