Face to face to face
Face to face to face
Face to face to face

Hold on here we go again
Passive conversation
Sweet but it's nothing not the same time
Seemed like you've got confident
I thought it it's a common sense
To know girl it's a fire by
Hey girl what you doing tonight
If you really want some of my attention
I need to see a little more intention
Hey girl what you doing tonight

If you really want to know ask me to my
Face to face what ashame
That you think I'm much better than that
I'm not a partner past simply
Play a game, hoo haa hey
It's not over if you asked me this way
But all you really want it's
Face to face

Oh my, if you're looking for love
Take more than
Hard ass to the phone that I don't feel alone

Maybe you could write a miss it just take more than a 3 seconds to wait 'til the morning
Leave me alone
If you really want to know it ask me to my
Face to face
What ashame
That you think I'm much better than that
I'm not a past you simply
Play a game, hoo haa hey
It's not over god if you asked me this way
But all you really want it's
Face to face

Face to face to face
Face to face to face
Face to face to face
(All yo really want)

There's nothing wrong with casual
As long ass there's still respectable
To be honest to feel like
You have to be careless careful
'Cause hitting me up on every thirty days
Are only hear from you when it's like
Am I the only one you call today

Face to face
What ashame
That you think I'm much better than that
I'm not a past you in simply
Play a game, hoo haa hey
It's not over, god if you asked me this way
But all you really want it's
Face to face

Face to face to face
Face to face to face
Face to face to face
(All yo really want)

Face to face to face
Face to face to face




Face to face to face
(All yo really want)
