Parachute
Tabi Bonney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She told me that she like me
Complimented on my Nikes
I told her that she don't but me and her are so unlikely
You're just too gorgeous, babe
I don't need random dudes fighting me
They just too jealous out here
I don't need that attention, your girlfriend like, no, he didn't
I don't need no Martin Lawrence and Pamela Redention
But anyways, we can kick it, just no real commitment
And I hope you in shape if you even plan on going the distance
Knock, knock, knock who is this? Oh my god, this girl is vicious
You look better in real life you should enroll of all your pictures
Where you been all my life, can't believe we just beginners
This course is for advanced swimmers, we in here with fishes
Jumping in the water, this ain't even what I ordered
I'm scared to look at the price, I just hope I can afford her
And if I can't then I guess I'll throw her back in the water
What would Jesus do, give her soul [Incomprehensible]
I hope you packed a parachute
You falling for me, we falling from 30000 feet
I hope you packed a parachute
You falling for me, we falling from 30000 feet
You better pack your parachute
You falling for me, we falling from 30000 feet
I hope you packed your parachute
You falling for me, we falling from 30000 feet
So now we rocking steady, every month's like February
She got me feeling like the kid again when girls were jellies
I give her candies, in return she given up her panties
This romantic shit is really starting to come in handy
I'm going deep and deeper, baby, just might need that ether
She going in for the kill, she just bought me my favorite sneakers
What you trying to me, girl, you know that's my weakness
Got me going to my mom and pops telling who she is
It's the one I know she is she got to be
Got me paranoid I'm thinking back on how she got to me
Please give me some privacy to figure out this PYT
If she is who she say she is then she'll walk down the ail with me
Hope that she don't lie to me 'cause I don't do apologies
I'm getting too far ahead of me, I need to chill and let this be
Now all my shit is catching after me
My girlfriend caught me chilling with my new girl sitting next to me
I hope you packed a parachute
You falling for me, we falling from 30000 feet
I hope you packed a parachute
You falling for me, we falling from 30000 feet
You better pack your parachute
You falling for me, we falling from 30000 feet
I hope you packed your parachute
You falling for me, we falling from 30000 feet
