Kehlani - SweetSexySavage Lyrics






Intro

[Phone rings]

[Grandpa:] Princess, belated Valentine's day
[Kehlani:] Happy belated Valentine's day, what are you doing?
[Grandpa:] What am I doing? Where are you?
[Kehlani:] I'm in the studio
[Grandpa:] You're in the studio... New York? Studio LA? Studio Atlanta? Studio here?
[Kehlani:] Studio in LA
[Grandpa:] In LA? Princess when do I get to see you? You know you are my granddaughter. You are like my daughter. Come on now
[Kehlani:] I know
[Grandpa:] Don't [?] out to the curb. I know you're the star on top of stars and everybody every day has to remind me. Do you know who Kehlani is? Do you know who your granddaughter is? I know who she is and I know who she was

They say God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers and what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. And as much as anyone can say how invincible I seem or how fearless I am or how brave I must be, I'm still human. And I've seen things and I've felt more pain than some will in their entire lives, all before the age of even being able to buy a f*cking drink at a bar. But I have to be strong, not for myself but for a greater purpose, because I feel like my duty is far beyond me, you know? Beyond saving my family. It's for the world because somebody out there really needs to hear this. So to anybody who isn't here to see how far I've gone or how far I've yet to go. To family members that didn't make it or friends I lost along the way. Or maybe someone I gave my heart to that didn't know what to do with it. You should be here

Keep On

Sometimes I just be doing shit that don't make any f*cking sense
Like I just be doing shit knowing that it's no good for me
All the time

Anything you're saying to me right now
Probably have the right to say
Any crazy things you're feeling for me tonight
You can get it on out the way

Cause I ain't been the best that I coulda been
I ain't do the shit that I shoulda did
But every time I come crawling on my knees
You're there

And you just keep on taking me back
And I don't know why you do
Cause I'm no good to you
And you just keep on taking me back
In your open arms, maybe I belong
And you just keep on taking

You can yell and you can curse and call me a bitch
Probably have the right to do
You can tell the world that I'm a narcissist
I would think they'd listen to you

Cause I ain't been the best that I coulda been
I ain't do the shit that I shoulda did
But every time I come crawling on my knees
You're there

And you just keep on taking me back
And I don't know why you do
Cause I'm no good to you
And you just keep on taking me back
In your open arms, maybe I belong
And you just keep on taking

Me back, and I don't know why you do
Cause I'm no good to you
And you just keep on taking me back
In your open arms, baby I belong
And you just keep on taking

I'm not taking you back
Oh no I'm not
No I'm
Taking me, you're taking me really back
No I'm, no I'm, no I'm, no I'm not

Piece Of Mind

To be honest, I think we spend so much time trying to find answers for things
And maybe it's just not meant to be answered
I think sometimes the best things are in the unplanned and the unknown
And sometimes when we balance back and we do it, we don't know how we did it, we just do it
It's something in us, whether that's our intuition
Whether that's the way we been raised
Whether that's down to even what we put in our bodies
Do you get?
So I think, I think that can remain a mystery
And I think that's okay for it to remain a mystery
Does that make sense?

Tryna forget all of the messages
Tryna forget all of the stressin'
'Cause damn it was
Tryna forget all of the secondary
Feelings I had, man, it was f*ckin' scary
Tryna get back to all my old ways
Tryna get back to all the hobbies from my old days
(Gettin' back)
Tryna forget all the unnecessary
Thoughts from my head, man, it was pretty scary

At least I learned a thing or two (yeah)
About me and you (yeah)
What we went through (yeah)
It made me who I am, I am, I am
I can feel again
Won't be numb again (numb)
At least I didn't mess it up (yeah)
That was all your touch (yeah)
I don't miss it much (yeah)
But it made me who I am, I am, I am
I can feel again
Won't be dumb again (dumb)

Said I'm tryna break off a piece of mind
A piece of mind that I can't get right
(I can't get right)
Said I'm tryna break off a piece of mind
A piece of mind, my heart's on my side
(My heart is on my side)

You said yourself you made me who I am
You told me that after you I would never love again (Didn't I?)
Oh you made sure that I would lose myself
So I wanna see I need no one else
Just tell me that I was worth a million smiles, and...
Tell me that I was worth a million miles, and...
Tryna make sure that I forget the times that
You made me think that I just couldn't shine, yeah

At least I learned a thing or two (yeah)
About me and you (yeah)
What we went through (yeah)
It made me who I am, I am, I am
I can feel again
Won't be numb again (numb)
At least I didn't mess it up (yeah)
That was all your touch (yeah)
I don't miss it much (yeah)
But it made me who I am, I am, I am
I can feel again
Won't be dumb again (numb)

Said I'm tryna break off a piece of mind
A piece of mind that I can't get right
(I can't get right)
Said I'm tryna break off a piece of mind
A piece of mind, my heart's on my side
(My heart is on my side)

On my side, yeah
On my side, yeah
Gotta get a little piece of mind
Gotta make sure that it feels just right
Gotta make sure that I make it alive this time

Said I'm tryna break off a piece of mind
(I'm tryna break off)
A piece of mind that I can't get right
(Boy that I can't get right)
Said I'm tryna break off a piece of mind
(A piace of mind)
A piece of mind, my heart's on my side
(My heart is on my side
My heart's on my side, yeah, yeah)

Undercover

You know they don't wanna see us together
But it don't matter, no, 'cause I got you
Anytime you're under the weather
Babe we can always go
If I gotta pull up on you, on the east side
In the late night, in a disguise
You know I could pull up on you, keep you all night
We could stay right, on the safe side

One way or another
I'm a love you
Slidin' under covers, undercover
They don't wanna see it happen
But we say, "F*ck it"
They don't wanna see it happen
But we say, "F*ck it"
One way or another
I'm a love you
Slidin' under covers, undercover
They don't wanna see it happen
But we say, "F*ck it" (F*ck 'em)
They don't wanna see it happen
But we say, "F*ck it"

Baby they don't wanna see me be happy
'Cause they ain't happy, no
They don't got you
Somethin' 'bout the way we be acting
Babe we are magical
Might just have to hit me up, on the late night
When it's game time, I don't play nice
I need you to hit me up, on my fake line
Hit that 6-9, yeah, that FaceTime

One way or another
I'm a love you
Slidin' under covers, undercover
They don't wanna see it happen
But we say, "F*ck it"
They don't wanna see it happen
But we say, "F*ck it"
One way or another
I'm a love you
Slidin' under covers, undercover
They don't wanna see it happen
But we say, "F*ck it"
They don't wanna see it happen
But we say, "F*ck it"

I'm a save your name under somethin' else
I'm a keep your things deep in myself
I'm a tweet our inside jokes to the outside world
To get you going
I'm a pick you up from the back entrance
Kept you in the world when it's all pretend
You're just you, I'm just me
There's no us, it's nothin'

One way or another
I'm a love you
Slidin' under covers, undercover
They don't wanna see it happen
But we say, "F*ck it"
They don't wanna see it happen
But we say, "F*ck it"
One way or another
I'm a love you
Slidin' under covers, undercover
They don't wanna see it happen
But we say, "F*ck it"
They don't wanna see it happen

Crazy
I go, I go, I go, I go

Everything I do, I do it with a passion
If I gotta be a bitch, I'ma be a bad one (yeah)

Bounce back game good, why we talkin' practice?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Pull up, score when I want to (skrrt)
Best thing next to Heaven (yeah)
They be tryna count me out though (yeah)
I'm just countin', countin' blessing's
A real woman 'bout her paper
Niggas don't know where I came from
Boy, I really, really came up
You never could say I'm lacking
All this shit I've been through
Only made me more real than assassin
I kill 'em, I kill 'em, I kill 'em with compassion
And baby, if they askin'

Tell 'em, tell 'em, tell 'em, tell 'em
I go, I go, I go, I go crazy, crazy
I go, I go, I go, I go crazy, crazy
Live for the challenge, only makes me stronger
One more reason to turn up on 'em
I go, I go, I go, I go crazy, crazy

Lit, lit, lit, lit
Only L I take is to the face
You showed up to see me lose
But I overcome so you overcame
Basic, basic
Ain't nothin' 'bout me basic
Crazy, I'm crazy
Better watch what you say to me 'cause
Young Sway got the answers (yeah)
Give 'em hell, give 'em pressure (ayy)
VIP couch, no manners (uh)
Dirty-dirty-dirty dancin' (ayy)
Take a look at what I did
Go full circle with the wrist
Whippin'-whippin' up the grits (whip)
Get a handful of this nasty
I got it, I got it, I got it
And you gon' respect it
Ain't nothin', ain't nothin', gon' stop me from makin' it happen
So baby, if they askin'

Tell 'em, tell 'em, tell 'em, tell 'em
I go, I go, I go, I go crazy, crazy

Live for the challenge, only makes me stronger

Personal

They sleeping, they sleeping, they sleeping, they sleeping on me
But I don't waste my time tryna prove that I'm something to see, oh I
The real ones they know and the ones that do not I don't need
'Cause mostly the vision and I give reasons to believe

That I'm honest, I'm honest, I'm telling no lies
When I say I'm up next I'm not just for the ride
Never a point when I questioned my mind
Know what I'm doing, I pay for this time
Come up regardless, I'm comin regardless
I'm hungry, I'm starving, remaining a topic
Never an option, got your undivided whenever I'm plotting

Don't take it personal, personal, personal
Don't take it personal, personal, personal
I know it hurts to know, hurts to know, hurts to know
I don't want it (na, na, na), don't need it (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Don't take it personal, personal, personal
Don't take it personal, personal, personal
I know it hurts to know, hurts to know, hurts to know
I don't want it (na, na, na), don't need it (yeah, yeah, yeah)

I know that you hear this and you gon' just know that I'm speaking to you
Shouldn't have got so ahead of yourself now you're losing your cool
I know that you know that I'm right, you admit it that I am the truth
But look you at you now, look at your face, looking sad in the booth

Signed off a tape, chewed off a tape, did it alone, and I ain't touched a plate
You was my nigga, we could have been great
You so far gone, got you thinking you're safe
All said and done you lost my respect
All said and done you're the one I regret
Now you gon' watch from the crowd
Lookin' up like the rest

Don't take it personal, personal, personal (Look)
Don't take it personal, personal, personal (I need you to promise me one thing)
I know it hurts to know, hurts to know, hurts to know (That you not gon' take it like that)
I don't want it, don't need it
Don't take it personal, personal, personal (Promise me that you won't take it)
Don't take it personal, personal, personal (Swear to me that you won't take it)
I know it hurts to know, hurts to know, hurts to know
I don't want it, don't need it

No I could never judge anyone I loved
Even if you lose sight of all the things I've done
I'm not who I once was
These days I'm all grown up
I f*ck with me heavy
I'm all chose up

And I only did right by you
When you f*cked her I survived by you
Prayin for the girls that believe your news
Prayin for myself cause I be all truth
I got good heart, good soul, good sex, no stress
Next for me is best
Don't you run your mouth
Cause in this song I say it best

Don't take it personal, personal, personal
Don't take it personal, personal, personal
I know it hurts to know, hurts to know, hurts to know
I don't want it, don't need it
Don't take it personal, personal, personal
Don't take it personal, personal, personal
I know it hurts to know, hurts to know, hurts to know
I don't want it, don't need it

Not Used To It

Typical story of an Oakland girl
Typical story heard around the world
Mama on her way, daddy up above
Out of 14, I guess it made me tough
Used to roll up on a block on the east side
I crack enough 40's by the sea side
Lose a nigga every week to a drive by
Whole bookshelf of stories behind these eyes I

I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound so damn common
I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound like I'm jawsin'
But when I say it's hard to open up to you
It's hard to get close to you
I want it with everything in me to one day just say I'm in love with you

But I'm not used to it, I'm not use to it, I am not
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, hey
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, I am not
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it
(I'm not used to it)

One day, one day, one day
One day, one day, one day

All single mothers in my family
Don't know if you're really understanding me
Never seen a nigga be a real man
I never seen a nigga with a real plan
And I still never been to a wedding
And I just see my family stressing
Over son's who grew up with no daddies and every generation
Was all just raised by my granny
But nah

I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound so damn common
I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound like I'm jawsin'
But when I say it's hard to just side with you
It's hard to confide in you
I want it with everything in me to one day just say that I ride with you

But I'm not used to it, I'm not use to it, I am not
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, hey
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, I am not
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it
(I'm not used to it)

One day, one day, one day
One day, one day, one day

Sometimes I pop off cause it's all that I'm used to
Sometimes I pop one cause I have to
Sometimes I run from all my problems
Sometimes I make sure that I solve em
I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound so damn common
I don't mean, I don't mean for it to sound so damn common, but I'm not used to it

But I'm not used to it, I'm not use to it, I am not (baby, yeah)
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, hey (I'm not used to it)
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it, I am not (baby I'm sorry)
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to it (I'm not, I'm not)

Yeah, yeah
One day, one day, one day, one day
Yeah, yeah, hey yeah

Everything Is Yours

Probably because there are so many things that he didn't, I tried to forget, you know I try to forgive, I forgive her, but you, you know when, you go back and you think about the things he did, nobody, I don't know nobody like him

Up at a time when I shouldn't be
Thinking 'bout things that I shouldn't be
Sad about shit I'm sad about for the past year
I've been low, I've been down and out it
And it cost a few [?] with love and the [?]
I've been here and you know the times that I'm talking bout

(Oh, oh)
I would give it all to make it all work
(Oh, oh)
I wish I could say that you knew my worth
(Oh, oh)
End of the day, you was my first
At the end of the day, you'll know you're worse

I love you shawty, shawty
You know you my shawty, shawty
I need you to make me happy
There will never be nobody

My ring is yours (save it, for me)
Everything is yours (save it all for me)
My ring is yours (save it, for me)
Everything is yours

Thinkin' bout your bed when I shouldn't be
Missing all that when I shouldn't be
You was on the road, I was on the road
We'd be back to back, back and forth
They know how it goes, know you got your pride
Just admit you hate being alone
Know you allowed to know
I'm sitting right beside your throne

(Oh, oh)
I ignored my friends, they ain't gon' make it all work
(Oh, oh)
But I just can't say that you know my worth
(Oh, oh)
End of the day, you're still my first
At the end of the day, I know you're worse

I love you shawty, shawty (you know it)
You know you my shawty, shawty
(You know you my shawty)
I need you to make me happy
There will never be nobody

My ring is yours (save it, for me)
Everything is yours (save it all for me)
My ring is yours (save it, for me)

Advice

You have a way with words
Your silence is a curse
You always seem to break me down, down, down
My swollen heart you curve
Your comfort makes it worse
I don't want you around, 'round, 'round, 'round

Cause how is the man of my dreams not a man of his words?
And how is the man for me just a man that makes me hurt?

It's time to take my own
Take my own advice, take my own advice
Need me to take my own
Take my own advice, take my own advice

I almost lost my mind
I left myself behind
I almost crashed and fell right from the sky
I took a chance on this
I took too big a risk
And now I'm left with pain to get me high

Cause how is the man of my dreams not a man of his words?
And how is the man for me just a man that makes me hurt?

It's time to take my own
Take my own advice, take my own advice
Need me to take my own
Take my own advice, take my own advice

You had to break me, take me
To make me better
But I had to save me, baby
Now or never

Cause how is the man of my dreams not a man of his words?
And how is the man for me just a man that makes me hurt?

It's time to take my own
Take my own advice, take my own advice
Need me to take my own
Take my own advice, take my own advice

Take, own, ooh, ooh
Take, own, ooh, ooh

Do U Dirty

Next nigga to f*ck with me gon' be stuck with me with his stuck ass. Bitch. What, look. Hold up, l-l-look, no time. Okay?

I, I, I, I
I, I, I, I
Up for hours drinking
Posted up, just reflecting on it
And I know you won't believe me
But babe, I'm cold and yeah, this life is cold
I say swear you won't come near me
Keep your heart 'cause I could f*ck you up
Or have you never thinking clearly
Never thinking clearly
Have you all up in your feelings
Experienced, I did it times before
And I can see you from a distance
I could f*ck you now and years later on
You gon' be stuck, just reminiscing
It's the way I ride you, let you stay inside
Yeah, I'm a f*ck you like a vixen
There's something 'bout me

Swear you see the good in me
But that don't beat the hood in me
And I got my intentions and use
Guess I'm make believe 'cause baby, I know, baby, I know

I, I'm a do you dirty
Say you love me now, baby, it's too early
I, I'm a do you dirty
You think you love me now, I think you should be worried

Up for days, been rolling
Swear them bullets, don't regret the choices
That I made 'cause I'm still growing
Sign the deal and then they cut the check
And ever since, my color's showing
Change the scene, the things are better now
And you know the wave is never slowing
The wave is never slowing
I know that you will miss me
You liked it when I used to leave a wound
And promise I would come and kiss it
I fed you lies and you just ate 'em up
And I don't care to do the dishes
I ain't no wifey, ain't gon' hold you down
It's way more fun to be the mistress
I know I'm not like other bitches

Swear you see the good in me
But that don't beat the hood in me
And I got my intentions and use
Guess I'm make believe 'cause baby, I know, baby, I know

I, I'm a do you dirty
Say you love me now, baby, it's too early
I, I'm a do you dirty
You think you love me now, I think you should be worried

You want all my time but I don't got enough
Baby, I can put it down but I can't put it up
I got too much life to live, well I'm still way too young
I'm still way too young, yeah

I'm a do you dirty, I, I'm a do you dirty
Say you love me now, baby, it's too early
I, I'm a do you dirty
You think you love me now, I think you should be worried

Escape

Never did I think I'd want you
Always seen you 'round my way
Never had the strength to tell you
I kinda, sorta think you're great
Strange for me to wanna love someone who's better by themselves
Hate to know that I made you crazy for myself

'Cause I don't want you thinking that my love's in vain
'Cause baby I've been falling for you but falling back up out your way

'Cause I can't make you lose yourself
L looking for me
And I can't let you make me your, your everything
I just wanna be an escape
I just wanna be an escape
Baby can we escape escape, escape?

Admiring you from a distance
Scared to go and make a move
Didn't wanna be distracting
You be all up in your groove
It's strange for me to wanna love someone who's raw by themselves
I'd hate for you to search for someone else

'Cause I don't want you thinking that my love's in vain
'Cause baby I've been falling for you but falling back up on out your way

'Cause I can't make you lose yourself looking for me
And I can't let you make me your, your everything
I just wanna be an escape
I just wanna be an escape
Baby can we escape escape, escape?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, aye, aye
'Cause I've been staying low, holding back
Fighting the feelings that you've been giving
And I've been trying to put it all into words
But I can't so I'm singing

'Cause I don't want you thinking that my love's in vain
'Cause baby I've been falling for you but falling back up on out your way

'Cause I can't make you lose yourself looking for me
And I can't let you make me your, your everything
I just wanna be an escape
I just wanna be an escape
Baby can we escape escape, escape?

Too Much

If he thought he was bout to play me, nigga don't play yourself, nigga
He f*cking with the baddest, the rawest, the realest nigga

I know I'm not what you need
Baby why you trying
Come over and come f*ck me
Ain't no sense in lying
Do you deserve it honestly?
We could just part ways
Find out our own destiny
Baby, baby, baby

You know I'm more than just a girl that you can meet walking down the street
I think you know that I'm the one that you want in your company

I'm too much of a woman
Too much of a woman
Too much of a bad ass bitch
Too much of a boss
Baby it's your loss
Now you gotta live with it

Too much, three much, four much, five much, too much for you
Too much, three much, four much, five much, too much for you

Too much, too much, too much for you
Yeah

There ain't really nothing left
Baby that's a promise
You were f*cking with the best
Something I will say
That I might just miss your sex
That don't mean I want you
You can go and stay my ex
Baby, baby, baby

You know I'm more than just a girl that you can meet walking down the street
I think you know that I'm the one that you want in your company

I'm too much of a woman
Too much of a woman
Too much of a bad ass bitch
Too much of a boss
Baby it's your loss
Now you gotta live with it

Too much, three much, four much, five much, too much for you
Too much, three much, four much, five much, too much for you

You told me you love me, I told you I wanna see it
You told me it's mine and I could have it when I pleases
Every night we sexing, you wearing your Jesus pieces
Like Jesus Christ himself gon save a nigga from misleading
I want you to know I meant that
Gotta know that I sent that
Text in the middle of the night to tell your ass how to f*ck that flight
Cause I can't sit at home, on your couch, listening to word of mouth
Bout how you been out and about, f*cking hoes, [?]

Cause I'm too much of a woman
Too much of a woman (too much)
Too much of a bad ass bitch
Too much of a boss

Get Like

The only person in the whole world
Ever?
Ever

I don't like when I catch them out the corner of their, of their eyes
Look all hypnotized
I don't mind when I catch you stare me all the way down in my thighs
Makes me realize

That I'm shy and just a little awkward
But you bring it out of me, out of me
'Cause...

You're the only one that I get like
You're the only one that I get like
Get like this for
You're the only one that I get like
You're the only one that I get like
Get like this for
Ain't nobody else make me feel like
You're the only one that I feel like
Feel like this for
You're the only one that I get like
You're the only one that I get like
Get like this for

I confess, after we get down we always leave a mess
Don't wanna get dressed
We get loud, don't think anyone can make me make a sound
Know that make you proud

'Cause I'm shy and just a little awkward
But you bring it out of me, out of me
'Cause...

You're the only one that I get like
You're the only one that I get like
Get like this for
You're the only one that I get like
You're the only one that I get like
Get like this for
Ain't nobody else make me feel like
You're the only one that I feel like
Feel like this for
You're the only one that I get like
You're the only one that I get like
Get like this for

All you, all yours, it's yours, it's yours (It's yours)
All you, all yours, I'm sure, it's yours (It's yours)
All you, all yours, it's yours, it's yours (It's yours)
All you, all yours, I'm sure, it's yours (It's yours)

You're the only one that I get like
You're the only one that I get like
Get like this for
You're the only one that I get like
You're the only one that I get like
Get like this for
Ain't nobody else make me feel like
You're the only one that I feel like
Feel like this for
You're the only one that I get like
You're the only one that I get like
Get like this for

In My Feelings

Are you putting her on your thing?
Oh my God, I'm gonna, it's gonna be like TMZ Kehlani TMZ [laughs]
And then he's gonna be suing me for slander [laughs]

If this isn't love
Why do I feel this way?

Why you got me so obsessed with you?
Why you got me wasting time laying next to you?
Why do you tell me, "come over," to watch you just stare at your phone? Don't know why I expected you
To give me attention, affection and love
You're like a drug, never enough
Can't take you high, need a new plug
You got me been, got me way too messed up

And I don't know why I'm even still here
Can't shake it off, I've been here for years on top of years
And I, I'm ready to, I'm ready to, be off of you
'Cause I admit, that baby I, I just may be stuck on you

(If this isn't love)
Why do I pick up my phone every time that you call?
(Why do I feel this way?)
Why do I I feel this (feel this way?)
I'm in my feelings (If this isn't love)
Why do I let you give me half then give you my all?
(Why do I feel this way?)
Why do I do this (feel this way?)
I'm in my feelings

(No!) Uh-uh (whoa) Uh-uh (yeah) Uh-uh (whoa)
In my feelings
(No!) Uh-uh (whoa) Uh-uh (yeah) Uh-uh (whoa)
In my feelings

Why you be doing me scandalous?
You just assume that I'm strong and can handle it
Why do you make me feel like I'm less than my worth
And it won't be for long, I ain't having it
You don't do the shit that you said would be done
You find it fun, to feel shit and run
Love like a gun, it leaves me stunned
Out on the floor and I just can't get up

And I don't know why I'm even still here
Can't shake it off, I've been here for years on top of years
And I, I'm ready to, I'm ready to, be off of you
'Cause I admit, that baby I, I just may be stuck on you

(If this isn't love)
Why do I pick up my phone every time that you call?
(Why do I feel this way?)
Why do I I feel this (feel this way?)
I'm in my feelings (If this isn't love)
Why do I let you give me half then give you my all?
(Why do I feel this way?)
Why do I do this (feel this way?)
I'm in my feelings

(No!) Uh-uh (whoa) Uh-uh (yeah) Uh-uh (whoa)
In my feelings
(No!) Uh-uh (whoa) Uh-uh (yeah) Uh-uh (whoa)
In my feelings

Oh, why, why do I, why do I feel this way?
Why am I still this way?
Why after all these times, you still play all these games?
Why after all these nights, I still give you all my days?

And I don't know why I'm even still here
Can't shake it off, I've been here for years on top of years
And I, I'm ready to, I'm ready to, be off of you
'Cause I admit, that baby I, I just may be stuck on you
(I just may be stuck on you)

(If this isn't love)
Why do I pick up my phone every time that you call?
(Every time that you call, whoa)
Why do I I feel this (feel this)
I'm in my feelings (feel this)
Why do I let you give me half then give you my all?
(Give you my all, oh-oh)
Why do I do this (feel this way?)
I'm in my feelings

(No!) Uh-uh (whoa) Uh-uh (yeah) Uh-uh (whoa)
In my feelings
(No!) Uh-uh (whoa) Uh-uh (yeah) Uh-uh (whoa)
In my feelings

Hold Me By The Heart

Wasn't sure I'd be alright
Wasn't sure I'd be okay again
Didn't know how to take flight
Wings broken couldn't seem to bend

Somehow you came and like the wind, you picked me up for good
And now I know what I have missed, I've been thinking that you should

Pick up the pieces
Help me learn to stand
Lift me from the ground and use your hands
To hold me by the heart
Tell me I'll be whole again
Hold me by the heart
Tell me it will never end
'Cause I've begun to think that
I was nothing short of broken
So baby, hold me by the heart (hold me by the heart)
Help me fly again

Always read all the fairytales
Always knew that it would come
Through the pain I convinced myself
"It's only magical for some"

Somehow you came and like a prince and picked me up for good
And now I know what I have missed, I'm thinking that you should

Just pick up the pieces
Help me learn to stand
Lift me from the ground and use your hands
To hold me by the heart
Tell me I'll be whole again
And hold me by the heart
Tell me it will never end
'Cause I've begun to think that
I was nothing short of broken
So baby, hold me by the heart (hold me by the heart)
Help me fly again

(Pick up the pieces)
(Help me learn to stand) Help me learn to stand
(Lift me from the ground and)
(Use your hands) Use your hands
(Pick up the pieces) Hey
(Help me learn to stand) Help me learn to stand
(Lift me from the ground and)
(Use your hands) Use your hands
Use your hands
(Hold me by the heart)
(Hold me by the heart) Hold me by the heart
Tell me it would never end
'Cause I've begun to think that
I was nothing short of broken
So hold me by the heart
Help me fly again

Thank You

I never said that I had it all figured it out
I never said, I never said that I live my days without doubt
I swear all I've ever done was be honest
And stay modest, oh
So this is a, sincere, unscripted
Unwritten for all that you've given
Forgiving, I'm driven
I wanna be better than I was
Better than I am so I say

All I'm trying to say is I thank you (you)
I thank you (you)
All I'm trying to say is I thank you (you)
I thank you (you)
All I'm trying to say is I thank you (you)

I never said that I was done with my growth
I never said, I never said that I was done doing the most
And I swear all I've ever done was stay honest
Keep my promise, oh

So here goes my real life, unscripted
Unwritten for all that you've given
Forgiving, I'm driven
I wanna be better than I was
Greater than I am, so I say

All I gotta say is I thank you oh whoah (you)
Thank you, oh (you)
All I gotta say is I thank you whoah (you)
I thank you whoah, (you)

Hey
Thank you for watching me walk across the stage
For walking me through my heartbreaks
Thanks for the love every step of the way
With no support this wouldn't be as great
Thank you for making me stronger than most
For taking it be on my clothes
Thank you for raising a glass when I toast

All I gotta say is I thank you, yeah yeah
Thank you, oh
All I gotta say is I thank you oh
Thank you whoah
All I gotta say is I thank you whoah
All I gotta say
All I gotta say
Thank you
Really
All I gotta say is I thank you

Back to: Kehlani


SweetSexySavage is the debut studio album by American singer and songwriter Kehlani. The album was released on January 27, 2017, by Atlantic Records. Kehlani started work on the album shortly after the release of their mixtape You Should Be Here, with work proceeding into 2016. Kehlani described the album as having three elements; Sweet, Sexy and Savage, which are intended to be reflected in the album's lyrical content and production.

Kehlani was the lead writer on all tracks aside from "Intro", which was written by Reyna Biddy. Production on the project was handled by Pop & Oak, Jahaan Sweet, Charlie Heat, among others, who worked to incorporate a variety of different sounds on the album.

The album received mainly positive reviews from critics, generating a Metacritic score of 76, which ranks as Kehlani's third-highest score after their mixtape You Should Be Here from 2015, and before their mixtape While We Wait from 2019.

It debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200, moving 58,000 album-equivalent units in its first tracking week. To promote the album, Kehlani embarked on the SweetSexySavage Tour.
