Awesome
Kanye West Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't need me to ever write
I read your last message at least 1000 times
At least 1000, at least 1000 times
Alright, alright, alright
Why would you ever listen to
People trying to hate on you
At least you know that's nothing new
Stop everything you're doing now
Cause baby, you're awesome
So awesome

You look too good to be at work
You feel too good to ever hurt
I hope you ready for tonight
I'm gon cook, you'll be dessert
You can't be still
I gotta move, I gotta dance
I gotta live, I gotta love
I got a hope, I got a chance
Cause baby, you're awesome
You don't need to listen to your manager
You're way too hot for them to handle you
Baby, not for nothing I know
You're looking for something and I got it
Why you frontin' on me

Cause I'd rather do nothing with you
Than something with somebody new
Yeah, I'd rather do nothing with you
Than something with somebody new
Stop everything you're doing now
Cause baby you're awesome
Don't let nobody bring you down

You're so awesome
You're so out the park
You're so after dark
You're so sleepless nights, oh you feel so right
You're so freakin' tight
I know you must be tired
From running through my mind
Can I come inside?
Cause baby I'm awesome
Also, I'm also awesome, also
I'm also awesome

Y'all know
Cause I'd rather do nothing with you
Than something with somebody new
Yeah, I'd rather do nothing with you
Than something with somebody new
Stop everything you're doing now
Cause baby you're awesome
Don't let nobody bring you down
You're so awesome




You're so out the park, you're so after dark
You're so sleepless nights, ooh this feels so right
