[Wale] What if love is nothing more than a fairy tale? I care and all, but I´m fearing this here a carousel to me I´m here and gone to you, hear my songs playing We get on and off like we horizontally horse-playing You need somebody with some patience, shorty, yeah I need somebody that hate to party, uh You need somebody that´s less busy I need a woman that´s praying for me, but hesitate to call me
I´m hot, cold, the doctor calling that bipolar Ha, that´s undersold, she rock with me, she got five boyfriends I can´t explain, my brain think in multiple colors Though all of em dull when anxiety rival my depression
