Song’s Lyrics;
“She’s the kinda song you play forever I’m obsessed
The kind you take home to your mother nothing less
The perfect kinda lover but also your best friend
She’s the kinda girl that makes you write til your out of lead
The kind that makes you melt when she’s undressed
But The perfect kinda lovers only real inside my head
I know it gets hard
To look for something that might not be real
So I’ll look up at the stars
And hope it’s in the cards
That maybe I could meet someone like you
We’ve been here before so why don’t we make sure it’s just us two
Save me all the pleasantries I Don’t care where you’ve gone out to
Who your friends are where your from
Don’t wanna know your exes names
I wanna skip the st*pid things
I wanna know what love is like for you
So Tell me what you want don’t have to tell me what you need
Cuz I should know just by the way that you look at me
Oh it’s cr*zy how much you can see by looking for it purposely
Oh I know how it feels
When You don’t want to lose yourself again
So if this isn’t real
Baby please pretend
That this is what love is like for you
We’ve been here before so why don’t we make sure it’s just us two
Save me all the pleasantries I Don’t care where you’ve gone out to
Who your friends are where your from
Don’t wanna know your exes names
I wanna skip the st*pid things
I wanna know what love is like for you
Don’t take this as something you’ve never seen
Tell me what
Love is like for me”
