Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To stay and give it tonight
And, baby, turn around, let me give you innovation, hey
'Cause I do it so right
You got that good good, baby, don't you?
Got that good good, baby, don't you?
But you leavin' solo
I ain't gon' keep, keep fightin' for it
Ain't gon' keep, keep fightin' for it
'Cause you know this thing here
Ain't regular, that ain't regular
Fallin' into the bed
Why would we ever do somethin' instead of
Fallin' into the bed right now? Yeah
I'ma break you off, let me be your motivation
To stay and give it tonight
And, baby, turn around, let me give you innovation
Hey, 'cause I do it so right
Think about it, ooh, I think about it
Think about it, ooh, take a look at me now
Hey, a little motivation, alright
You got a bad one, baby, don't you?
Got a bad one, baby, don't you
And we both know there's no
One better, boy, no one better, boy
Too late, won't make it, I'ma tell 'em (yeah)
Get you naked, but I won't tell 'em
'Cause you know that there's no
One better, boy, no one better, boy
Fallin' into the bed
Why would we ever do somethin' instead of
Fallin' into the bed right now?
Eh, right now, now

[Verse 1: Normani]
Thank God for the weekend
I'ma go out with my friends, I'd rather let the liquor sink in
Than the thoughts of you that I should not be thinking
When I'm with someone else, it's feeling like I’m cheating
I just might go off the deep end
When I’ve had too much, can’t shut me up, now when you start to creep in
Know that everyone is sick of all my reasons, I-
I let you come and go like seasons
[Pre-Chorus: Normani]
First I blame you, then I want you
Fucking hate you, then I love you
I can't help myself, no
When I have you, wanna leave you
If you go, that's when I need you
I can't help myself, no
[Chorus: Normani]
You come in waves, waves, waves
Every hour, every day, day, day
You come in waves, yeah
[Verse 2: Normani]
I keep on going through the motions
But we ended long ago, I should be numb to these emotions
But you flood my memory just like an ocean, and
And I was drowning in devotion
[Pre-Chorus: Normani]
First I blame you, then I want you
Fucking hate you, then I love you
I can't help myself, no
When I have you, wanna leave you
If you go, that's when I need you
I can't help myself, no
[Chorus: Normani]
You come in waves, waves, waves
Every hour every day, day, day
You come in waves, yeah (You come in waves)
[Verse 3: 6LACK]
(Yeah)
I come with ups and downs, yeah, I know
If you tryna ride, ride slow
Deep breath for the tide
Hold tight for the stride, I can see it in your eyes
I come with monsoons
Made love on the full moon, yeah
Wave like water, not a trend
If we start it up then this'll be the end (Start it up)
First I love you, then I hate you
I won't dare try to replace you
I ain't crazy, no (I ain't crazy, no)
I'm ecstatic, then I'm sad
On a high then I crashed
'Cause you made me so (Damn)
[Chorus: Normani & 6LACK]
You come in waves, waves, waves (Yeah, oh, yeah)
Every hour, every day, day, day
I hate so bad that you come in waves
You come in waves, waves, waves
You come in waves, you come in waves
Every hour, every day, day, day (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Outro: Normani]
You do, you do, you come in waves
You come in waves, yeah, yeah, oh
You do, you do, you come in waves
