Love Me
Felix Cartal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(You know I'd give)
(You know I'd give)
(You know I'd give)
(You, you know I'd give)

You're making me nervous
Looking for my car keys and painkillers
Tropical sweat and two middle fingers
I know I should've ghosted at two
But I waited it out for you
I wish I knew the way things were between us
I'm packing a bag of bad ideas
Every time I'm thinking of you

I'm trying to stay cool
In the downtown weather
Wondering if you think of me ever
You
Know how to love me better
It's got me feeling another level

I can't get you off of my mind
Why do I keep wasting my time?
Man, you make it easy for me
So why can't I make you love me?
Love me

You know I'd give, you know I'd give
You know I'd give, you-you know I'd give
(Love me)
You know I'd give, you-you know I'd give
So why can't I make you love me?

You're leaving me hanging
So I'ma play cool when you think I wouldn't
Liquor by the pool when I know you're looking
While I dissect conversations
Maybe there's something there for once? Uh
I'm trying not to let these mind games play me
I'm down to be your casual lady
As long as I got you loving on me

When I'm trying to stay cool
In the downtown weather
Wondering if you think of me ever
You
Know how to love me better
It's got me feeling another level

I can't get you off of my mind
Why do I keep wasting my time?
Man, you make it easy for me
So why can't I make you love me?
Love me

You know I'd give, you know I'd give
You know I'd give, you-you know I'd give
(Love me)
You know I'd give, you-you know I'd give
So why can't I make you love me?
(Love me)

So this could be a cruel summer
Or a real lover
Tell me how you want it to go
But I don't need another issue
Don't wanna miss you
Love me or just let me go

I can't get you off of my mind
Why do I keep wasting my time?
Man, you make it easy for me
So why can't I make you love me? (Why can't I make you love me?)
Love me

I can't get you off of my mind
Why do I keep wasting my time? (Why do I keep wasting my time?)
Man, you make it easy for me (Easy for me)




So why can't I make you love me? (Make you love me)
Love me
