Déjà vu
Mike Posner (Feat. Boyz II Men) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come on
Ready, one, two

Let's go back, I know it's been a minute
But I can do it better than I did when I did it
You were loving me, I was loving you
You can come over and we can have deja vu, ooh ooh
We can have deja vu, ooh ooh
You can come over and

Probably gonna compliment your hairdo
Right before we mess that shit all up
(mess that shit all up)
I used to keep you out way passed your curfew
Look at me now, I'm all grown up
(Look at me now, I'm grown up)

She was reminiscing in her mind
I'm just trying make up for lost time
Don't be acting nervous
'Cause we've been here before

Let's go back, I know it's been a minute
But I can do it better than I did when I did it
You were loving me, I was loving you
You can come over and we can have deja vu, ooh ooh
We can have deja vu, ooh ooh
You can come over and

I'm probably gonna compliment your outfit (your outfit)
Right before you take that shit all off (take that shit all off)
Remember we would sneak out of our houses
Look at us now we're all grown up
(Look at us now we're grown up)

She was reminiscing in her mind
I'm just trying make up for lost time
Don't be acting nervous
'Cause we've been here before

Let's go back, I know it's been a minute
But I can do it better than I did when I did it
You were loving me, I was loving you
You can come over and we can have deja vu, ooh ooh
We can have deja vu, ooh ooh
You can come over and

Nothing much has changed
You still feel the same
And don't pretend like you don't want to like I do
I know you think about
What can we feel like now
Come over, let's make a new memory

Let's go back, I know it's been a minute
But I can do it better than I did when I did it
You were loving me, I was loving you
You can come over and we can have deja vu (deja vu)




We can have deja vu, (deja vu)
You can come over and
