Language
Paperboy Fabe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You said we don't even make love no more
I'm not sure
But you know that's not right, mm
Why you sweating, babe?
Don't 'cause I can't give you my life

It's your fault for loving me
You put your trust in me
And I didn't ask, I didn't ask
I ain't sign off for nothin' like that
I'm just doing me, I was coming right back
Why you left me alone?
And she knew I was coming home

She know I been out here workin' nine-to-five lately
And, baby, gets on my fucking nerves 'bout the same shit
We don't speak the same language

We don't speak the same language
We don't speak the same language

You want me to call your phone and tell you I'm done
That there ain't no us no more
No
Girl, ain't nobody ever gon' do you like me
Learn how to stand on your own two feet alone

It's your fault for loving me
You put your trust in me
And I didn't ask, I didn't ask
I ain't sign off on nothin' like that
You gon' treat me cold, I'ma dish it right back
Why you left me alone?
And she knew I was coming home

She know I been out here working nine-to-five lately
And, baby, gets on my fucking nerves 'bout the same shit
We don't speak the same language
We don't speak the same language




We don't speak the same language
We don't speak the same language
