Yeah
Teekay Othello... yeah
You're something I never had before
Oh baby, you got me lifted
But I know I seen this all before
Shawty, you done got me twisted
Yeah I talk a lot of shit, but won't you listen
I get insecure when you giving the distance
I ain't did nothing wrong, what's the business
Seen you in my vision, shawty won't you come my way
(Ooh, yeah) I don't know what to say, yeah
Stumbling, tumbling, hitting my line
For a while, you was doing the chase, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Coming up, it's my birthday, yeah
You said you would give me a gift
I don't know where it is
You so out of place, yeah
You're something I never had before
Oh baby, you got me lifted
But I know I seen this all before
Shawty, you done got me twisted
Ooh, you got me twisted, yeah
Shawty, you ain't playing fair
Now it seem like you don't care, oh, yeah, yeah
Ooh, you got me twisted, yeah
You was chasing for my heart
Now it ain't just like the start, oh, no, no
I wanna give you all of my attention
I didn't know that I had to mention
All the tension
When I see a hickey on your neck you got me hella stressed
I sat back to reminisce
On all the times, baby, we never missed
I felt your kiss
Do you really miss me
Feels hella iffy
The way you hold on to me
I tried to hide the feeling
But my face be too revealing
Baby, love ain't ever felt so unpleasing
What's the reason
What's the reason
What's the reason
You're something I never had before
Oh baby, you got me lifted
But I know I seen this all before
Shawty, you done got me twisted
Ooh, you got me twisted, yeah
Shawty, you ain't playing fair
Now it seem like you don't care, oh, yeah, yeah
Ooh, you got me twisted, yeah
You was chasing for my heart
Now it ain't just like the start, oh, no, no
Ooh, you got me twisted, yeah
Shawty, you ain't playing fair
Now it seem like you don't care, oh, yeah, yeah
Ooh, you got me twisted, yeah
You was chasing for my heart
Now it ain't just like the start, oh, no, no
Ooh, you got me twisted, yeah
Ooh, yeah, got me twisted
Ooh, you got me twisted, yeah




Twisted, got me twisted
Twisted, yeah, yeah
