DNA
a l l i e & Daniela Andrade Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me what you want from me
You been gone go on make it up to me
I’ve been waiting too long for your love
Know you like it better when it’s off the cuff
Ima put my weight on it
Ride it like a wave on it
Brown liquor in a heatwave
Always makes me feel this way
Show me what you know about it
Tell me that you can’t go without it
Tell me why
You be back on your bullshit
Hittin’ that delay on it
Ya hittin’ that delay on it

I could never beg
(I could never beg for your love baby)
It’s not in my DNA
I could never beg
(Never)
It’s not in my DNA

Tell me what you gonna do?
Slow it down kiss it like I want you to
I been waiting too long
You're so good at laying all that build up
I’m so good at giving you that good love
When it really matters will you show up?
I could never beg
(I could never beg baby)
It’s not in my DNA

I could never beg
It’s not in my DNA
I could never beg




(I could never beg for your love)
It’s not in my DNA
