Earned It
Kina Grannis & MAX Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You make it look like it's magic
Cause I see nobody, nobody but you, you, you
I'm never confused
Hey, hey

I'm so used to being used
So I love when you call unexpected
Cause I hate when the moment's expected
So I'ma care for you, you, you
I'ma care for you, you, you, you, yeah
Cause girl you're perfect
You're always worth it
And you deserve it
The way you work it
Cause boy you earned it
Girl you earned it

You know our love would be tragic
So you don't pay it, don't pay it no mind
We live with no lies
You're my favorite kind of night
So I love when you call unexpected

Cause I hate when the moment's expected
So I'ma care for you, you, you
I'ma care for you, you, you, you, yeah
Cause boy you're perfect
You're always worth it
And you deserve it
The way you work it




Cause girl you earned it
Girl you earned it
