Lyrics
One thing's for certain
I need you right here in my arms
Baby, I'm yearnin'
But I think I got a bone to pick with you (you)
Lately, I been wondering what's with you (you)
I need you to hear me, baby
Wake up, love (wake)
These sheets won't comfort me
Please wake up love (wake up)
I might just comfort me
But I just need you holding me
Show me some attention
I want you to wake up, love (wake up)
Hear me, baby
It's like a turban
I can wrap my head around this shit but
I need your brown skin
I'm like India when I'm not pissed with you
But how to keep it sane, it's you
I want you to wake up, love (wake)
These sheets won't comfort me
Please wake up, love (wake up)
I might just comfort me
But I just need you holding me
Needed your affection
Wake up, love (wake up)
Hear me, baby
Bright lights are only used for the dark, lil' mama
Drama gonna play a part, pain is art, lil' mama
It just get retouched hung up on the walls
You wanna sell it later, then, cool, we takin' it all
Lil' mama, it's real
I save you from a burning building
I wear the burns as gold medals, turn you on to remember
Even though you scarred me, I took it so I know the feeling
But, fuck it, let's build this bitch to the ceiling
I'm really fuckin' with you
There's a whole lot more than a make up at the breakup
So don't fight back, just write back, baby
I know I demand a lot but you don't like that
So let's just leave the baggage, I'ma hop us on this flight back
I want you to wake up, love (wake)
These sheets won't comfort me
Please wake up, love (wake up)
I might just comfort me
But I just need you holding me
Needed your affection
Wake up, love (wake up)
Hear me, baby
