James Lyrics by Abigail Barlow

2020

[Verse 1]
I'm not tryna love you
But I love it
I love how you always get real quiet
When I play you a song I'm writing
I'm not tryna cuff you
But I love you
I love how I feel when we're together
Got me losing my mind whenever

[Pre-Chorus]
You say my name
Damn boy, that face
Hands on my waist
Feels so amazing
It's been a while, eh
Since I've smiled so much
It must be a coincidence (Coincidence)

[Chorus]
Hey, stop looking at me like that
'Cause I don't know how to act
Why don't you stop smiling, stop flirting
Stop being sweet
And don't look at me that way
'Cause I don't know what to say
Stop smiling, stop flirting
Stop being so perfect for me

[Post-Chorus]
Uh, stop being perfect for me, oh
Stop showing up in all my dreams
Uh, stop being exactly what I need
Stop caring 'bout my feelings
Stop being—

[Verse 2]
I'm not tryna love you
But I love it
I love how your lips fit perfectly on mine
Divine
I'm not tryna cuff you
But I love you
And why you gotta be so fucking clever?
Not to mention the best I ever had

[Pre-Chorus]
Say my name
Damn boy, that face
Hands on my waist
Feels so amazing
It's been a while, hey
Since I've smiled so much
It must be a coincidence

[Chorus]
Oh uh, stop looking at me like that (Like that)
'Cause I don't know how to act (Oh)
Why don't you stop smiling, stop flirting (Ah)
Stop being sweet (So sweet)
And don't look at me that way
'Cause I don't know what to say (Baby)
Stop smiling, stop flirting
Stop being so perfect for me

[Post-Chorus]
Uh, stop being perfect for me, oh
Stop showing up in all my dreams (Showing up in all my dreams)
Stop being exactly what I need
Stop caring 'bout my feelings
Stop being perfect for me

[Outro]
My James
What a name
What a face
What a man
What a man
