Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dranked out
Throwed up
Facedown
Hold the phone my nigga
I came for the foes and figures
Yes I'm po'd up
Leaned out
From the waist down
I know her when she face down
I'm tryna buss I can't wait now
Last night you was in tears
Wonder if you ever gone face yo fears
All up in ya feels hands in ya underwear
I know that you miss a nigga when I'm not there
How you never miss a nigga when I stay close, close
How you never miss a nigga when I stay close, close
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
I don't want no drama
Can't you see
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
Cause I'm not one for love
Unless it comes in threes
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
I don't want no drama
Can't you see
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
Cause I'm not one for love
Unless it comes in threes
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
I don't want no drama
Can't you see
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
Cause I'm not one for love
Unless it comes in threes
Last year I was in tears
Wonder if I'm ever gonna face my fears
Feel a little cold lil shawty get near
Kinda feel lost but I don't I swear
Don't get to close
I think I know more, than you know
Can't help myself be useful
Don't lie you know its true doe
Run away
Run away
Dear lord
You just don't get it
(I said)
Come and play
Come and play
I need more than yo affection
(Sweet)
Marmalade
Marmalade
Gimmie more I need confection
(Why you)
Salty faced
Skinny waist
By the way
You got my attention
(Soooo)
Wait now wait now wait now
We can go a ways out ways out ways out
Trippin like for days now I said for days now days now
Hope this shit gon fade out, fade away, gone fade away
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
I don't want no drama
Can't you see
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you need
Cause I'm not one for love
Unless it comes in threes
