Late night
Oh, oh-oh
Tell the truth
Ah, ah-ah
(Got it on smash)
(Okay, Forrest)
You know what's up
Late night (late night), hit me up (hit me up)
Tell the truth (tell the truth), I wanted to (I wanted to)
This ain't love (this ain't love, yeah), keep it cool (keep it cool, yeah)
This ain't love (this ain't love), you know what's up (you know what's up)
Late night (late night), hit me up (hit me up)
Tell the truth (tell the truth), I wanted to (to)
This ain't love (no), keep it cool (cool)
This ain't love (skrrt), you know what's up (you know what's up)

You tell me no excuse 'cause I'm losin' patience (patience)
You got my mind in two different places (place)
Just wanted you to come lay up (lay up)
And let you see me, no make up (woo)

I refuse to let it go, you know it's all yours
We fuck it up, when we get close, it's perfect timin'
I was 'bout my bidness
Until my heart fell in it
Hit me up

Late night (late night), hit me up (hit me up)
Tell the truth (tell the truth), I wanted to (I wanted to)
This ain't love (this ain't love, yeah), keep it cool (keep it cool, yeah)
This ain't love (this ain't love), you know what's up (you know what's up)
Late night (late night), hit me up (hit me up)
Tell the truth (tell the truth), I wanted to (to)
This ain't love (no), keep it cool (cool)
This ain't love (skrtr), you know what's up (you know what's up)

Lyin' through your teeth, if you say that you don't build the strength
Transparency, we play the game but we should play for keeps
And when we get it, we don't get enough
Got way too much, history, we can't give it up (give it up, ooh, ooh)

I refuse to let it go, you know it's all yours (oh yeah)
We fuck it up, when we get close, it's perfect timin'
I was 'bout my bidness
Until my heart fell in it
Every time you get it

Late night (late night), hit me up (hit me up)
Tell the truth (tell the truth), I wanted to (I wanted to)
This ain't love (this ain't love, yeah), keep it cool (keep it cool, yeah)
This ain't love (this ain't love), you know what's up (you know what's up)
Late night (late night), hit me up (hit me up)
Tell the truth (tell the truth), I wanted to (to)




This ain't love (no), keep it cool (cool)
This ain't love (skrrt), you know what's up (you know what's up)
