lyrics
sick and tired of these games
i must play, with your head, you think i'm losing it
said you got to LA
said let's hang, but you're lame, i'd never cruise it and
i sent you simple nicieties
like before
one or two more emojis and
you thought that you were being smooth
but you ain't
baby let's tell you the truth
the joke's on you
i would never, never ever be seen with you
maybe in your home town
on a tuesday, when nobody else's around
we could go to the store
don't try and hold my hand haven't you done this before and
i sent you simple nicieties
like before
oh it took some energy and
you thought that you were being smooth
but you ain't
baby let's tell you the truth
and when the morning comes
i won't wake you up just quietly close the door
i'll take a piece of toast
and nothing else i'm just too insecure
baby let's tell you the truth
i must play, with your head, you think i'm losing it
said you got to LA
said let's hang, but you're lame, i'd never cruise it and
i sent you simple nicieties
like before
one or two more emojis and
you thought that you were being smooth
but you ain't
baby let's tell you the truth
the joke's on you
i would never, never ever be seen with you
maybe in your home town
on a tuesday, when nobody else's around
we could go to the store
don't try and hold my hand haven't you done this before and
i sent you simple nicieties
like before
oh it took some energy and
you thought that you were being smooth
but you ain't
baby let's tell you the truth
and when the morning comes
i won't wake you up just quietly close the door
i'll take a piece of toast
and nothing else i'm just too insecure
baby let's tell you the truth

Well, does it live up to the hype? It's okay, not as good as 'Loops' or the 'Fenella' stuff; i doubt i'll be listening to it in full very often. Her mojo is waneing in my 'umble opinion.

January 2025 - Some good songs on here. Others feel a bit laboured. Overall good though.
