Distraction Was a Friend of Mine

2020

[Intro]
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, dah, dah, dah, dah
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, dah, dah, dah, dah

[Verse 1]
Me and you was meant to be together, huh (Together)
Without you, I have feelings I'm forever alone
When you left me, I was feelin' like whatever, huh
The time we spent, I guess it had to come to a close

[Pre-Chorus]
Like, "How you doin'?" (How you doin'?)
Like, "What's your name?" (What's your name?)
I'm doing good (Doing good)
I'm feeling great
But I don't wanna be the reason why you text my phone (My phone)
And I don't wanna see you with him when you leave me 'lone (All alone)
And every time you call me, it's like, "I don't wanna know" (Oh)
'Cause every time we kick it, I don't wanna let you go 'cause

[Chorus]
She's like, "Why can't we live in the moment?"
And she's like, "Why can't we live in the moment?"
Oh

[Verse 2]
Tell me where you been, it's bee silent (Silent)
'Cause I know you're not the type to stay quiet, huh (Oh)
Baby, what's the reason you fight it? Huh (Fight it)
Maybe this just isn't our time yet (Nah, nah, nah)

[Pre-Chorus]
Like, "How you doin'?" (How you doin'?)
Like, "What's your name?" (What's your name?)
I'm doing good (Doing good)
I'm feeling great
But I don't wanna be the reason why you text my phone (My phone)
And I don't wanna see you with him when you leave me 'lone (All alone)
And every time you call me, it's like, "I don't wanna know" (Oh)
'Cause every time we kick it, I don't wanna let you go 'cause

[Chorus]
She's like, "Why can't we live in the moment?"
And she's like, "Why can't we live in the moment?"
Oh

[Verse 3]
I got my hands up, hands up, please, don't shoot
She's a dancer, dancer, who are you? (Who are you?)
She's from Atlanta, 'Lanta, she's so smooth (She's so smooth)
But when she stand up, stand up in a room

[Pre-Chorus]
Like, "How you doin'?" (How you doin'?)
Like, "What's your name?" (What's your name?)
I'm doing good (Doing good)
I'm feeling great
But I don't wanna be the reason why you text my phone (My phone)
And I don't wanna see you with him when you leave me 'lone (All alone)
And every time you call me, it's like, "I don't wanna know" (Oh)
'Cause every time we kick it, I don't wanna let you go 'cause

[Chorus]
She's like, "Why can't we live in the moment?" (Oh)
And she's like, "Why can't we live in the moment?"
Oh

[Outro]
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, dah, dah, dah, dah
