Frontin'
Tom Middleton Lyrics

Don't wanna sound full of myself or rude
I don't mean to come across as arrogant or impolite.

But you ain't looking at no other dudes cause you love me
You're only interested in me and not checking out other guys because you're in love with me.

So you think about a chance
You're considering the possibility of being with me.

You find yourself trying to do my dance
You're imitating my moves because you're attracted to me.

Maybe cause you love me (Uh, you do it well)
Perhaps you're doing it because you have feelings for me and you're good at copying my dance.

So then we tried, ain't feeling this love now
We've attempted to make it work, but the chemistry is not there.

Because you weren't used to how fast we touched (fast we touched)
Our level of passion was too much for you to handle because you weren't accustomed to moving that fast in a relationship.

Then we locked eyes, and I knew I was in there
When we looked into each other's eyes, I knew I was going to be able to win you over.

And I was gon' tear ya ass up (tear ya ass up)
I was going to please you intimately and make you feel good in the bedroom.

I know that I'm carrying on, never mind if I'm showing off
I'm aware that I'm acting boastful and flaunting my attraction for you.

I was just frontin' (you know I want ya babe)
I was just pretending to be cool when deep down, I really want you.

I'm ready to bet it all, unless you don't care at all
I'm willing to risk everything to be with you, unless you don't feel the same way.

Trying to be the best girlfriend you could be
You're doing your best to impress me and be the perfect partner.

But still you sneak and look at me, and girl I love it
Even though you're trying to act like you're not interested, you can't help but sneak glances at me, and I find it attractive.

Then you give your other girl a shove
You pushed your friend out of the way to get close to me, showing me that you really want to be with me.

Tell her you gon' palm her ass like it was
You bragged to your friend that you were going to touch me in a sexual way.

And she's gon love it (whoa-oh whoa, yeah yeah)
Your friend is going to enjoy watching us be intimate together.

I call you Pha-real cause you the truest, ha ha, Young!
I call you Pha-real because you're authentic and genuine, my friend.

Every time your name was brought up
Whenever someone mentioned your name, I pretended not to be interested, even though I was.

I would act all nonchalant in front of an audience
I acted casual and unconcerned when we were around other people.

Like if you was just another shorty I put the naughty on
I acted like you were just another woman I had been intimate with before.

But uh, truth be told you do me for a loop, this Hov
But the truth is, you're different from any other woman I've been with, and it's throwing me off.

I'm too old to be frontin' when I'm feeling Denzel
I'm too mature to be pretending I'm not interested when I really am.

And you acting like you ain't appealing but you are
You're pretending not to be attractive, but you really are.

Stunting like you ain't my only girl but you are (I was just frontin')
You're acting like you're not the only woman I'm interested in, but you really are (I was just pretending not to be committed).

I'm ready to stop when you are
I'm willing to stop pretending and commit to you if you're willing to do the same.
