Earned It
The Weekend Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'ma care for you
I'ma care for you
You make it look like it's magic
Cause I see nobody, nobody but you, you, you
I'm never confused

Hey, hey
I'm so used to being used
So I love when you call unexpected
Cause I hate when the moment's expected

So I'ma care for you, you, you
I'ma care for you, you, you, you, yeah
Cause girl you're perfect
You're always worth it
And you deserve it
The way you work it

Cause girl you earned it
Girl you earned it
You know our love would be tragic
So you don't pay it, don't pay it no mind
We live with no lies

Hey, hey
You're my favorite kind of night
So I love when you call unexpected
Cause I hate when the moment's expected

So I'ma care for you, you, you
I'ma care for you, you, you, you, yeah
Cause girl you're perfect
You're always worth it
And you deserve it
The way you work it

Cause girl you earned it
Girl you earned it
On that lonely night
You said it wouldn't be love

But we felt the rush
It made us believe it there was only us
Convinced we were broken inside, inside
Cause girl you're perfect
You're always worth it
And you deserve it
The way you work it




Cause girl you earned it
Girl you earned it
