La-la-la-la-la-la
Oh, regard, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
Yeah-yeah
Now you got me all like
I hate wakin' up alone
I got things I need to say
That I can't say to you over the telephone
Four, five glasses all alone
Boys and girls just come and go
I haven't seen you for a minute
I don't like it, not at all
Ooh, one thing that I know
Is as hard as I try
I can't face the thought of you not being in my life
Regardless
Regardless of the tears I cried for you today
Regardless of the words we think but never say
You're always in my mind somehow
Whether we're up or down
Regardless
Regardless
Oh, regard, la-la-la-la

No, this house is not a home
When I'm sleepin' all alone
I'm used to havin', I'm on hold
Then I can't touch you through the phone, hmm
Baby, when you turn me cold
I still got your t-shirt on, oh
Haven't seen you for a minute, no

Well it is the game, and it sucks. Hollywood doesn't give two flying F's about talent. Maybe she needs a better label, promoter or studio.
@IToraino
It kills me
@russiandoll3371
Can’t trap, I’m best female rapper
@tulipsxw2
That Rapture melody she samples in the chorus is so dreamy when she sings it.
@247Tash
Amazing love it she needs to do a version to that song.
@tulipsxw2
@@247Tash I don’t know the right terms to use, but she has a great infliction/range in her vocals. I was watching a live version from BBC of her singing the Jonas Blue song. She was able to sound a lot like the edited and auto tuned chorus. I think her version of Rapture would be just as stunning!
@jorgeomalley8643
Rapture of Who?
