Drug Dealer Girl
Mike Posner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you always let me know when you got some purple
See, I can't let you walk away, I can't let you walk away
You need to light one with me
So you could be my drug dealer, girl
So you could be my drug dealer, girl
So you could be, be, be my drug dealer, girl
You might never sell enough of this stuff to move off your street
But every time I call you let me light one up for free
I'm sure that you're never ever gonna be a runway model
But you can make a bomb ass piece out of a water bottle
And when you count my money
You look so sexy to me
And it might sound funny
But I would by a O-Z
Just to get you in my bed room
Drug dealer, girl
So you could be my drug dealer, girl
So you could be, be, be my drug dealer, girl
So you could be my drug dealer, girl
Something 'bout the way that you weigh and bag my eighters
You even gave me my own number to put in your pager
I still never seen you cough when you hit the bong
See, gimme that shit that helps me write my songs
And when you count my money
You look so sexy to me
And it might sound funny
But I would by a O-Z
Just to get you in my bed room
Drug dealer, girl
So you could be my drug dealer, girl
So you could be, be, be my drug dealer, girl
So you could be my drug dealer, girl

You should be my girlfriend

Man I remember playing this song when no one knew what I was bumping.
I loved making this hit in my first car! 😂
Pushing 30 years old and I’m doing the same as you.
Sober, starting a non profit to help others with addiction and mental health issues...
Ohh did I mention I purchased a school bus to convert into a tiny home to follow my dreams and travel America!
This is the year for growth. It’s so cool to progress with the ones around you.
