What Is Love?

I need love
I need to love myself first
I usually just exchange my time to heal the hurt
Sometimes I rush the moment
It started with a flirt
It's good until it ends because I can't get over dirt
My worst times make my best slip away
I wonder should I pull em back
Or back myself and back away
Why do we want love
Do we do it for tradition
Or Do we seek a friend
To smile with in repetition
I don't think I can trust myself to give them ammunition
Hard lessons will be found when you neglect your intuition
My faults that I'm rude
I don't mean to be dissin
I might say shut the fuck up when I just want you to listen

What is love?
Is it really real?
I don't think anybody's saying what they really feel (nah)
What is love?
Does it really kill?
Somebody told me when you find it's when you really heal (what?)
I don't believe that
Nah nah nah nah
I don't believe that
Nah, nah
I don't believe that
Nah nah nah nah
I don't believe that
Nah, nah

I don't believe shit that a bitch say
Pardon my french, I find it hard to trust an itch-bay (see)
Everybody's next competes with everybody's ex
You either play the game or you're the one that gets played (yeah)
That thought process is toxic I know
I notice that most got it
It takes risks to grow
How brave are you to just let her go
You love her, just say you love her
At least then you'll know
Did you marry? Did you settle?
Did you settle down with somebody in a kennel
Man, ain't you seen the movie?
Should've told the truth
Heart strings'll pull you up and down like Geppetto

Nah nah nah nah
I don't believe that
Nah, nah

Nah nah nah nah

Nah, nah

Somebody told me I should let you get to know me
They sounded condescending
Should I let you meet the old me
If we meet today I bet perfection's what you'll show me
You either don't want heartbreak or don't want to be lonely
& that's everybody's angle
I want to tie the knot
I just don't wanna be tangled
Was our last call for a last shot at love called off
Guess so, now we're fucking on the table
I love it, I just hope that you don't ask me for a label
And we can share my Hulu
You don't gotta pay for cable
Love you're so amazing
Love, Dope Alto
This shit's so crazy
