Now he’s thinkin’ ’bout me every night, oh
Is it that sweet? I guess so

I can’t relate to desperation
My give-a-fucks are on vacation
And I got this one boy and he won’t stop calling
When they act this way, I know I got ’em

Pre-Chorus

(Mm) Too bad your ex don’t do it for ya
(Mm) Walked in and dream-came-trued it for ya
(Mm) Soft skin and I perfumed it for ya
(Yes) I know I Mountain Dew it for ya
(Yes) That morning coffee, brewed it for ya
(Yes) One touch and I brand-newed it for ya (Ooh)

Chorus

And now he’s thinkin’ ’bout me every night, oh
Is it that sweet? I guess so
Say you can’t sleep, baby, I know

Say you can’t sleep, baby, I know
That’s that me espresso

Post-Chorus

Holy shit
Is it that sweet? I guess so (Mm)

I’m working late ’cause I’m a singer
Oh, he looks so cute wrapped ’round my finger
My twisted humor make him laugh so often
My honeybee, come and get this pollen

Pre-Chorus

(Mm) Walked in and dream-came-trued it for ya
(Mm) Soft skin and I perfumed it for ya (Ayy, ayy, oh)

(Yes) That morning coffee, brewed it for ya
(Yes) One touch and I brand-newed it for ya (Stupid)

Chorus

Now he’s thinkin’ ’bout me every night, oh
