Earned It
Kina Grannis & MAX & KHS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You make it look like it's magic
Because I see nobody, nobody but you you you

never confused
I'm so used to being used
So I love when you call unexpected

Cause I hate when the moment's expected
I'mma care for you you you
I'mma care for you you you you

Cause girl you're perfect

(Girl you're perfect)
Always worth it
(Always worth it)
And you deserve it
(You deserve it)
The way you work it

(The way you work it)
Girl you earned it
Girl, you earned it

You know our love will be tragic
So you don't pay it, don't pay it no mind mind 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
I'mma care for you you you
I'mma care for you you you you

Cause girl you're perfect

(Girl you're perfect)
You're always worth it
(Always worth it)
And you deserve it
(You deserve it)
The way you work it
(The way you work it)




Cause you earned it
Yeah, you earned it
