LYRICS
Heaven sent you to me
I’m just hoping I don’t repeat history
Boy I’m tryna meet your mama
on a Sunday
Then make a lotta love
on a Monday
Never need no
No one else, babe
‘Cause I’ll be
Switching the positions for you
Cooking in the kitchen and I’m in the bedroom
I’m in the Olympics way I’m jumping through hoops
Know my love infinite nothing I wouldn’t do
That I won’t do, switching for
Perfect, perfect
You’re too good to be true
But I get tired of running
Fuck it, now I’m running with you (with you)
Said boy I’m tryna meet your mama
on a Sunday
Then make a lotta love
on a Monday
Never need no
No one else babe
‘Cause I’ll be
Switching the positions for you
Cooking in the kitchen and I’m in the bedroom
I’m in the Olympics way I’m jumping through hoops
Know my love infinite nothing I wouldn’t do
That I won’t do, switching for you
Cooking in the kitchen and I’m in the bedroom
I’m in the Olympics way I’m jumping through hoops
Know my love infinite nothing I wouldn’t do
That I won’t do, switching for you
This some shit that I
Usually don’t do
But for you I kinda
Kinda want to
Cause youre down for me
And I’m down too
Yeah I’m down too
Switching the positions for you
This some shit that I
Usually don’t do
But for you I kinda
Kinda want to
Cause youre down for me
And I’m down too
Switching the positions for you
Cooking in the kitchen and I’m in the bedroom
I’m in the Olympics way I’m jumping through hoops
Know my love infinite nothing I wouldn’t do
That I won’t do, switching for you
Cooking in the kitchen and I’m in the bedroom
I’m in the Olympics way I’m jumping through hoops
Know my love infinite nothing I wouldn’t do
That I won’t do, switching for you
Tayla revealed, “We just kind of let it happen naturally, same way as the last album.”
The artist has filled both her Twitter and Instagram channels with extracts of original music updates throughout the quarantine. And she liked one fan’s tweet about “Nasty” being on the track list. Another clue.
Fans Muse On Featured Artists
There’s speculation that American singer/songwriter and rapper Doja Cat is part of the new drop. In a May interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, Ari said she was “obsessed” with Cat. She said “I was able to work with her earlier this year on this song that I want to save for whenever it’s time again to drop.”
