I knew you were assonance


You were gonna come to me
& here you are
But you better choose carefully
Cause I... I'm capable of anything
Of anything
& everything

Make me your Aphrodite


Make me your one and only
But don't make me your enemy
Your enemy
Your enemy

So you wanna play with magic ?


Boy you should know what you're fallin' for
Baby do you dare to do this?
Cause I'm comin' at you like a dark horse
Are you ready for
Ready for
A perfect storm
Cause once you're mine
Once you're mine
There's no goin' back

Mark my words
This love will make you levitate
Like a bird
Like a bird without a cage
We're down to earth
If you choose to walk away
Don't walk away
It's in the palm of your hand now baby
It's a yes or a no. No maybe
So just be sure
Before you give it up to me
Up to me
Give it up to me

She's a beast
I call her karma
She eat your heart out
Like Jeffrey Dahmer
Be careful
Try not to lead her on
Shorty's heart was on steroids
Cause her love was so strong
You may fall in love
When you meet her
If you get the chance you better keep her
She swears by it but if you break her heart
She turn cold as a freezer
That fairy tale ending with a knight in shining
armor
She can be my Sleeping Beauty
I'm gon' put her in a coma
Woo!

Damn I think I love her


Shorty so bad
I'm sprung and I don't care
She got me like a roller coaster
Turn the bedroom into a fair
Her love is like a drug
I was tryna hit it and quit it
But lil'mama so dope
I messed around and got addicted
