Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mm-hmm, oh
Sweet and sour, there you go
Always puttin' on a show
But I always love the taste
So I can't leave you alone
I don't think I'll ever know
But I always love the taste
So I can't leave you alone
Breakin' my heart, ow
Thought you were the one, wow
Your love is like candy rain
I'm standin' with my tongue out
Yeah, you can't pretend
That we could be just friends
There's some thin's you can't explain
And you're my weakness, yeah
Monday, lick me like a lollipop
Tuesday, is she lovin' me or not?
Wednesday, now she climbin' back on top
I know she's bad for me but I don't ever wanna stop
Monday, lick me like a lollipop
Tuesday, is she lovin' me or not?
Wednesday, now she climbin' back on top
I know she's bad for me but I don't ever wanna stop
Sweet and sour, there you go
Always puttin' on a show
But I always love the taste
So I can't leave you alone
Sweet and sour, there you go
I don't think I'll ever know
But I always love the taste
So I can't leave you alone
Uh, candy paint
Ice on my pinkie ring (ring)
Married to the game, don't need a wedding ring (ring)
Loyalty and love will get you everythin' (yeah)
A lot of people switched it up, but you don't ever change (no)
Nowadays, you be poppin', got a lil' name (poppin')
You leave and then you runnin' back, climb on top of me (top of me)
You with somebody else, but he ain't like you and me
Shawty so fancy, trips to Miami, whoa (whoa)
When you move your body, don't stop, let it go (go)
Lately you been actin' like a savage, I know (know)
Wanna be a good girl but you do the most (most)
No schedule, just go with the flow, you know
Sweet and sour, there you go (yeah)
Always puttin' on a show
But I always love the taste
So I can't leave you alone
Sweet and sour, there you go
I don't think I'll ever know
But I always love the taste
So I can't leave you alone (woo)
Yeah
Mm-hmm, oh

@@matesoncollins8822 Are you serious? It dosent matter because the beat is not he's it's someone else's work, without Dj KEZES demo this whole track and collab of he's wouldn't exsist, look stop being ignorant and put yourself on the owners shoes, how would you feel if Jawsh 685 stole your hard work? Awnser me! How would you feel if someone stole your car? So shut up and be honest here because you can't cheat in life because karma is a bitch, Jawsh needs to apologise to Dj KEZES fai le mea sa'o ma moni ae aua le aigaoi.
