Tread Carefully Lyrics by SZA

Ctrl (Deluxe)

2022

[Verse 1]
You wonderin' why I (Why I)
Don't come around like I used to
Play around like I used to
It's not you, it's me, I got a
A different set of urgencies now
Scared of watchin' my life go down the drain
Can't let it be you in my way, so I

[Pre-Chorus]
Tread carefully, no bra
Tread carefully, no panties
I tread carefully 'til I'm on top of you (Ah)
And now I regret comin' over here
Why you comin' over here?
You know what you're doin'

[Chorus]
I can't front, I want you bad as you want me too
Can't front, really want you bad as you want me too (Ah)
I want you bad as you want me and I bet it's good
'Cause you know what you're doin', you know what you're doin'

[Verse 2]
How do you feel fightin' your feelings?
Scared of your feelings, livin' in whiteout
I can't see nothin' but you, starin' down my headlights
Gotta get my head right, damn, I been here all night now
Gotta get my ways together (Get your shit together)
Gotta gather all my shit (Yeah), I said I wouldn't stay all night
But it's 7 a.m., I'm gonna miss my next meetin' fuckin' wit' you
Guard's down fuckin' wit' you
I'm makin' bad decisions how I'm livin' and I like it
We're stuck in the feeling (Never havin' anybody)
Never feelin' nobody enough
Stuck in the feeling (Never havin' anybody)
Put your hands all on me, so I

[Pre-Chorus]
Tread carefully, no bra
Tread carefully, no panties
I tread carefully 'til I'm on top of you (Ah)
And now I

[Chorus]
I can't front, I want you bad as you want me too
Can't front, really want you bad as you want me too (Ah)
I want you bad as you want me and I bet it's good
'Cause you know what you're doin', know what you're doin'

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I can't front, I want you bad as you want me too
Can't front, really want you bad as you want me too (Ah)
I want you bad as you want me and I bet it's good
'Cause you know what you're doin', you know what you're doin'
