K-Rlos DJ Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's just be honest
I get way too in my feels
And you hate when I go M.I.A.
I could tell by that look on your face
But I need to get rid of this gravity, baby I'm saying that I need the space
Lord I'm thinking of going away
I ask Him to bring me to another place, yuh
Now I'm overdosing (yuh, yuh)

Make it potent (yuh, yuh)
I don't need you fake energy, no baby
I need true (true love)
Is it you? (you love?)
Can't go back (no way)
No take backs (no way)
No !
I gave that bitch a piece but she don't bring me peace
So many times I've prayed, I'm down, right on my knees
Need a U.F.O. to take me straight to Mercury
Oh I only hope one day I could fly!
I can't say no more
All my pain, please take it all
Blast off, say the word I'm gone
I've been trynna make it work
Just take me back to Mercury
I love you girl, don't leave me please (babygirl don't leave me please)
You coulda held on me closer
Couldn't cry on your shoulder
I've been getting much older
I can't stay here no more, yeah
It's killing me softly (it's killing, it's killing)
It's killing me softly (it's killing, it's killing)
Take me back to where I loved ya
Back to Mercury, I loved ya
Finding a place to hold on
No!
I gave that bitch a piece but she don't bring me peace (don't bring me peace)
So many times I've prayed, I'm down, right on my knees
Need a U.F.O. to take me straight to Mercury
Oh I only hope one day I could fly!
I'd take off
Oh I only hope one day I could fly!

I'd take off
Take off
