Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh yeah
Ay, oh yeah
Hope you see
It won't mean a thing to me
I've been doing this too long
Baby girl, I've felt it all (ooh)
If you try to play your luck (ooh)
Ain't nobody gonna care enough (ooh)
To catch you fall
So don't you fall in love
Don't make me make you fall in love
Don't make me make you fall in love with a nigga like me
Nobody needs to fall in love
I swear I'm just a bird
Girl, I'm just another bird
Don't make me make you fall in love with a nigga like me
Like me, oh
God, you tried, uh
You tried to warn me
But, baby, I'm warning you
Girl, I'll show you
This is no game
You'll be falling to a point of no return
No return
Don't you fall in love
Don't make me make you fall in love
Don't make me make you fall in love with a nigga like me
Nobody needs to fall in love ('cause)
I'm just a bird
Girl, I'm just another bird
Don't make me make you fall in love with a nigga like me
Nobody needs to fall in love
I know you're rolling hard with it, don't lie
I know it's got a hold on you
I know you're rolling with it, baby, don't you lie, baby
I know you're rolling hard with it, don't lie
I know it's got a hold on you
I know you're rolling with it, baby, don't you lie, baby
So don't you fall in love
Don't make me make you fall in love
Don't make me make you fall in love with a nigga like me
Like me
'Cause, girl, I'm just a bird
Girl, I'm just another bird
Don't make me make you fall in love with a nigga like me

@luiza96
Looking for a lover who loves the weeknd.
@reyes93090
Well he is pretty dope.. but how about someone who loves you? Similar taste in music is good. But I'd rather stability and with the sacrifice of hearing what I don't usually listen to.
@reyes93090
You're welcome sister :) and stay smiling. No one likes a pretty face without a legitimate smile.
@petershawk.
