[Intro: Natalie with Marsha]

Oh, oh, ooh

Listen, uh

I met this guy, and um

You know I don't get down like that but (Ooh, oh)

We were together for a while, you know

Things didn't work out, but

I can't even be mad with him, you know (Ooh)

Cause we had some moments, for true

It's like a

Yo, I'll explain, listen


[Verse 1: Natalie]

We wrote fairy tales of how we'll live in castles

Tight like Hansel and Gretel, and grow old and settle

In a town that we'll title with our merry day

We got a love like that, like every day, like every way

I cannot stay at yours tonight

We can hold tight, love bite, and share some soul

We can pick and roll, lose control, or let me take it

Like, how I let you break it

Don't forget we could get high on each other

And serve time for it through the night, and

Back into the morning

Can't crack the habit, you see I'm fiending

I'm needing some more, and you got me grinning

Like it's money that I'm winning

No way is this ending 'cause you got me feeling purer than thou

Show me how do you do this thing

'Cause you got me singing like


[Spoken: Natalie]

Yo, for real

He had me singing like

Some kinda opera shit, yo

I don't know where we went with it, it was like

I used to turn to him and just whisper in his ear

'Cause, yo, I made him little promises, like, I'd say ummm


[Verse 2: Natalie]

I'll crown you king of this throne

If you can take me home like run with no stripes

Doesn't have to be tonight

How's about early morning? I'm talking A.M

We can beat the dawn, or

Just chill through time barriers

Can't help the whispers of "I do"

But you see through my poker test

Got me making game faces

In London we say lacing, you say making sense

This shit's intense

I kinda [?] 'cause you move me so

I broke my role and got freaky with it

You chastise me with my own belt, I ain't gonna lie

I felt the universe move

You left me singing like Opera, like Cleopatra or Madam Butterfly

Yo, this shit's so good, it brought tears to my eyes

I was like....


[Spoken: Natalie]

I'm telling you, man, it's no lie

See, I was like

I just, yo, I, I couldn't even let him walk pass me

I was like grabbing on him

And we were happy for a minute, for true

After the session, we'd be like, yo, yo


[Verse 3: Natalie]

Yo, was that supposed to happen

All that foot tappin', voice breakin'?

Now I'm carving kamasutra diagrams with the headboard

Ignored the buzzer 4 times, got up hard, telling lies

Even surprised myself with my conniving ways

I dived in like he meant survival

Like he was christened H20

Like he could make the trees grow

And the clouds spit snow

He laid kisses on my chest like his name was Zorro

Got me saying "Hell no" when he said he had to go

I was hiding clothes and play fighting like children

We were clashing our Titans 'till weight we were losing

I had Slum Village album on repeat

We were knocking boots to hip-hop beats

I even reached my maximum in my sleep, yo

He had me singing like, like


[Spoken: Natalie]

Yo, for real

I'm not lying listen, uh, it was like....

I'm gonna break it down, the truth is

I almost got goose pimples now, just thinking about that shit, yo

Just his voice, if I could hear his voice right now

I'd answer the phone like......

You know what I mean, yo

Listen, if I knew where he was right now (I'd find him)

We split, we split ways, yo, we went about, you know

We went about business

I wanna know if he's making somebody else hit that opera, likd

You know 'cause I ain't had none of that in a minute

It's like

[Outro: Natalie, Marsha]

Yo, yo, yo, it's like (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

I'm telling you, bro could look at me across the room

Nah mean, he just put on the face and be like "Yo, we'd gotta go home"

That's the truth
