[Intro:]
La La, La, La

When you making dedications
And it's gonna say whatever you want
You know what I mean

[Chorus:]
Girl if your in your car, or the crib
Listen, reminence

It's for you, it's, it's for you
And you know who you are, your my heart
I'm missin', been missin' you
Know that this song is for you, oh

[Verse 1:]
Maybe you was out there creepin'
You know, only you know
Or maybe you was doin'

Either way it goes, this song covers it
Baby you can press play and just walk away
Cause if your tryna get right
Or just saying "I love you"

Girl if your in your car, or the crib
Listen, reminence, just listen girl

100 balloons sent to your job today
Later on, when you get home

I hope that you like that baby
Girl the waters so hot and ready
I know, I know that, it might not be much
But it means so much
Just a way to say "I love you-ou-ou"

Girl if your in your car, or the crib
Listen, reminence

It's for you, it's, it's for you
And you know who you are, your my heart, oh yeah
I'm missin', been missin' you
Know that this song is for you
It's a way to say "I love you"

For you, for you
