Kehlani Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Verse 1: Kyle Dion and Kehlani]
Love shouldn't be defined
Love is one of a kind
What we do is crazy baby
All the ways you make me feel
The way you do me like that
The way you do me like that
We just understand what nobody else can
[Kehlani]
You know how to put it down
How to pick me up and never cause me stress
Every day's a rush
You always cracking jokes and always make me blush
I could stand the world if it was just us
Every day you love me so
Never let you go
When I say it's on you'll never tell me no
That's love baby
That's us baby

[Chorus: Both]
You know ain't explaining all this love we making
They think that we're crazy but it's us
Cause this is how we do us baby
This is how we do us baby

[Verse 2: Kehlani]
Don't you hate it when they get to asking all them questions 'bout the way we rockin'
Like, we gotta have a separate title or something
Gotta be on TV like the idols or something
Cause baby boy this ain't no way that I could ever begin to explain
The way we love
The way we trust
The bond we have
It's just for us
Just for us
Telling me, yeah we're soul mates
I knew it ever since our very first date yeah
You the truth
I need the whole thing
But I won't risk putting this love at stake
For a simple explanation to a simple muthafucka
Who really don't know us
Really don't wanna
I mean it when I say it, that I only wanna love ya
That other shit is extra
Baby far above it now
I know sometimes I do a little much
I know sometimes you got a little problems with your trust
But that's love baby
That's us baby

[Chorus: Both]
You know ain't explaining all this love we making
They think that we're crazy but it's us
Cause this is how we do us baby
This is how we do us baby

[Bridge: Kyle Dion and Kehlani]
[Kyle]
You're the only one I want and I can never leave your side
You're always here down to ride
You're always here and that's why
I fu-u-u-uck with you
[Kehlani]
Said he fucking with me cause I'm down
He know every single lyric
He at every single show and
Baby that's why I'm in love with you

[Chorus: Both]
You know ain't explaining all this love we making




They think that we're crazy but it's us
Cause this is how we do us baby
