Lyrics
I never thought I’d see you looking at me this way
– Mwen pa janm panse mwen ta wè ou gade m nan fason sa a
Almost vulgar and out of place
– Prèske vilgè ak soti nan plas
Like seeing the moon in the day
– Tankou wè lalin nan jounen an
I find it hard not to look away
– Mwen jwenn li difisil pou pa gade lwen
Hard to believe it’s the same face
– Difisil pou kwè se menm figi a
I saw twisted in anger
– Mwen te wè twisted nan kòlè
I thought you’d hate me forever
– Mwen te panse ou ta rayi m pou tout tan
Now I feel your hand under the table, a
– Koulye a, mwen santi men ou anba tab la, yon
At the fancy restaurant
– Nan restoran an fancy
Gripping on my inner thigh
– Mwen te kenbe nan vant mwen
Like if you don’t I’m gonna run
– Tankou si ou pa fè sa mwen pral kouri
But I’m not going anywhere
– Men mwen pa pral nenpòt kote
Least not anywhere you’re not
– Omwen pa nenpòt kote ou pa
Got me wrapped around your finger
– Te fè m ‘ vlope alantou dwèt ou
Tied in a double knot
– Mare nan yon ne doub
Just like our legs all double knotted
– Menm jan ak janm nou tout doub nòt
In the morning at the Ritz
– Nan maten an nan Ritz la
$700 dollar room still drinking coffee from the Keurig
– Room 700 dola chanm toujou bwè kafe nan keurig la
We’re soaking up the luxuries on someone else’s dime
– Nou ap absòbe liksye sou kòb yon lòt moun
Living the dream before we fully pass our prime
– Viv rèv la anvan nou konplètman pase pi bon nou an
And when we do
– E lè nou fè
I’ll have time to write the book on you
– Mwen pral gen tan pou ekri liv la sou ou
Time to write the book on you
– Li lè pou ekri liv la sou ou
Time to write the book on you
– Li lè pou ekri liv la sou ou
Time to write the book on you
– Li lè pou ekri liv la sou ou
Sitting on the kitchen counter
– Chita sou kontwa kwizin lan
Counting bug bites on your thighs
– Konte mòde ensèk sou janm ou
Just another southern summer
– Jis yon lòt ete sid
Sweating bullets in the highs
– Swe bal nan pi wo a
Watermelon dripping down your chin
– Melon dlo ki koule nan menton ou
Laughing ’til you cry
– Ri ‘ jiskaske ou kriye
Sweetest tears I ever tasted
– Dlozi ki pi dous mwen te janm goute
Kissing salt out of your eyes
– Bo sèl soti nan je ou
I’ve been circumventing your pet peeves
– Mwen te contournement ou bèt kay peeves
Bending over backwards every time that you say please
– Koube sou do chak fwa ke ou di tanpri
I just wanna make you happy
– Mwen jis vle fè ou kontan
Will you let me spend a lifetime trying?
– Èske w ap kite m pase tout lavi m ap eseye?
And if you do
– E si ou fè
I’ll have time to write the book on you
– Mwen pral gen tan pou ekri liv la sou ou
Time to write the book on you
– Li lè pou ekri liv la sou ou
Time to write the book on you
– Li lè pou ekri liv la sou ou
Time to write the book on you
– Li lè pou ekri liv la sou ou
Finally time to write the book on you
– Finalman lè pou ekri liv la sou ou
I still believe in God sometimes
– Mwen toujou kwè Nan Bondye pafwa
It always takes me by surprise
– Li toujou pran m pa sipriz
To catch myself in the middle of praying
– Pou trape tèt mwen nan mitan lapriyè
But I thank God for you
– Men, Mwen di Bondye mèsi pou ou
When I don’t know what else to do
– Lè m pa konnen ki lòt bagay pou m fè
Don’t know where the words go but I still say ‘em
– Mwen pa konnen ki kote mo yo ale men mwen toujou di ’em
If it’s not God, it’s Fate
– Si Se pa Bondye, se Desten
If it’s not Fate, it’s Chance
– Si se pa Desten, Se Chans
If it’s my chance I’m gonna take it
– Si se chans mwen mwen pral pran li
Cause who gets the chance
– Paske ki moun ki jwenn chans lan
Like the one that I have?
– Tankou yon sèl la ke mwen gen?
To catch the most wanted man in West Tennessee
– Pou trape nonm ki pi vle nan West Tennessee
If you let me write the book
– Si ou kite m ekri liv la
Open the hood and take a look
– Louvri kapo a epi pran yon gade
I promise anything you give me
– Mwen pwomèt anyen ou ban mwen
Is something I will keep
– Se yon bagay mwen pral kenbe
We can burn it when it’s done
– Nou ka boule li lè li fè
Soot and cinder in the sun
– Soot ak cinder nan solèy la
Nothing left for anyone to read and weep
– Pa gen anyen ki rete pou nenpòt moun li ak kriye
