Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, woah
Let's start with being honest
I've been thinking about it lately
But i'll let you do the talking
Tonight we're gonna change things
Oh, oh
Aint I your best friend?
Feels like I'm nothing at all
I wear my heart on my sleeve
You made me cover it up
And I want you to know
Honestly, your sea of emotions
It's drowning me, but you just tell me
It be like that sometimes
Sometimes, be like that sometimes
It be like that sometimes, sometimes
Be like that sometimes, sometimes
Forreal 
It be like that, sometimes
Oh, oh
I love the way that you come and attack
I love the way that you bring it right back
The way you put all that u want on the map
I like it like that
You can really do that
Car is going too fast
Can I brake it like that, like that
Now I'm on mission
Give all for your livin
Tonight is a mess 
Boi luie g trippin
The vibe is all fresh
Put you in the luie v dress 
Highway on 80 but imma do 20
Right now is a moment
So we shouldn't rush it
It be like that when got what u wanting
So let's not confuse it not even discuss it
Oh woah
I see you running and I see you running
You hold it down cause I know
I know you want it
Oh woah
And I know it gone be like that sometimes
Sometimes, it be like that sometimes,
Sometimes, oh woah




Sometimes, be like that sometimes
It be like
