Lose a Friend

Hey Mama
Tell me 'bout your day Mama
What you gotta say, Mama?
Como te llama, JK, Mama
You know I know your name
I'm afraid I'm in love with you
Please won't you stay longer?
HEY MAMA
Hey baby, tell me where you been lately
Looking for a friend maybe?
We could play pretend
Never need to make amends
This shit might just take a friendship
This shit might just take a friendship

Honest, 'member those days long past
18, after class
Hanging out, might admit
That I liked you quite a bit
In your dorm room (WOO)
Looking cuter and cuter
And you would use my computer
Like you're my musical tutor
Helping me out with homework that
I "didn't know" how to do
I'm memorizing scales instead of
Trying to make out with you
(DO RE MWAH)
And, I think of all the times in the past couple years
That I passed your apartment
Passed up asking for beers and
The next twelve hours of your future
Baby, we can team in euchre
Maybe we can even snooze here
What you dreaming?
Why you move here?
When you leaving?
Baby, give me any reason
I heard 'em all
My exes, I hurt 'em all
Believe it
Worst of all I even stopped loving myself
Seasons change, rearrange
Me and the page teaming now!
I'm channeling all my hustle
I'm planning coming in cuffing,
The Heart's another muscle
And DAMMIT he's huffin-puffin
Girl, I sweep off your feet like it was nothing
But first
Let's have a discussion about
All the repercussions of loving me
I can only be honest if there's percussion
I'm often precautionary
I'm freaking out over nothing
Mom was scary
Started seeking out some therapy
There'll be parts that aren't so merrily merrily merrily
Married life is but an American dream
And being married is like having a team
Up shit's creek with no paddle
While you stare at the stream
And divorce is a waterfall you pretend you can't see
Kids like me
Delivered on the river
On the go, hardly living
I don't know what I'm spitting
What I mean is
Forgive me if I can't love right yet
But I get heart palpitations
Baby, when I see your likeness
Kinda like the Loch Ness
Lost in my mind like a lake of my thoughts
Kinda like you it's obvious
I'm not gonna stop yet

Hey Mama
Tell me 'bout your day Mama
What you gotta say, Mama?
Como te llama, JK, Mama
You know I know your name
I'm afraid I'm in love with you
Please won't you stay longer?
HEY MAMA
Hey baby, tell me where you been lately
Looking for a friend maybe?
We could play pretend
Never need to make amends
This shit might just take a friendship
This shit might just take a friendship.

You're the first girl to make me swoon sending emails,
Talk about my 'type'
Dorm room of a female
And we were like some best friends
Acting buddies, always tight
YO, ON MY LIFE
Wish you would've asked me to stay overnight
I don't know about you but I get Snapchat memories of us
I can't explain just what that flashback meant to me
It's simpler times then
I spit simpler rhymes then
But similar feelings arise when I get to writing
Girl, we fit together like a puzzle piece
Get the big picture?
Take the edge off when you cuddle me
To simply sit in your vicinity is a sin to me
I gotta get closer
Try to see how much you're into me
I see you vividly

This new song is me putting the moves on
And if you don't like the rhythm in it
Maybe you can move on
'Cause Katie, I've been hurt before
And lately I've been searching for
A lady who can hold her own and
Baby, you'd be perfect for it
So, won't you throw this boy a bone
Or better yet, a toilet roll
I know right where the bathroom is
I like being inside your home
And every time you hit my line
I'm hoping you invite me over
Though I might be po-dunk and slightly doped-up
I'll likely roll up
On my bike with a 9-leafed clover
And a Diet Coke cup
Just to say, "it's your lucky day
You know I got this for ya'"
Being with you is euphoria
But to see my homie rooting for you
FUCK
Helps me catch Not-being-your-guy-Dysphoria

Hey Mama
Tell me 'bout your day Mama
What you gotta say, Mama?
Como te llama, JK, Mama
You know I know your name
I'm afraid I'm in love with you
Please won't you stay longer?
HEY MAMA
Hey baby, tell me where you been lately
Looking for a friend maybe?
We could play pretend
Never need to make amends
This shit might just take a friendship
This shit might just take a friendship.
