Obsessed with you
So obsessed with you
I'm obsessed with you
So obsessed with you
{Verse 1: serro}
Run around so we play pretend yeah
Forest gleams and running by the flowers
I’ll hold your hand yeah even for the hours
So tell me what you wanna know
So you don't have to feel so low
‘Cause they don't know you like I do
‘Cause they don’t know what we've been through yeah
{Pre-Chorus 1: serro}
Thoughts at night hit harder than usual
And sometimes I wish there was something mutual
But I know that it ain't that simple
‘Cause girl, you got me hella
{Chorus 2: serro}
Obsessed with you
So obsessed with you
I'm obsessed with you
So obsessed with you
I got a confession that you're my new obsession
Tryna play it cool but I'm so hooked on you baby
{Verse 2: Earl}
I can’t seem to get you off my mind
You walk past my thoughts every single time
You're the kind of someone that I look for
'Cause they don't make them like you no more
Makes me feel like we back in high school
'Cause If you like you could be my boo
We could talk for hours 'til the sun's up
Then you right back when I wake up
{Pre-Chorus 1: serro}
‘Cause I know you may be a lot
But you're never ever too much
‘Cause girl, I can't get enough
{Chorus 3: serro}
Obsessed with you
So obsessed with you
I'm obsessed with you
So obsessed with you
I got a confession that you're my new obsession
Tryna play it cool but I'm so hooked on you baby
