You & I Album Lyrics by Rita Ora

---

Don't Think Twice

We're already past temptation
We've already crossed that line
And, baby, when you saw me naked
I've never felt more alive

Love's a risky bid
Play me like roulette
Don't think with your head
Yeah, I don't ask for much
Just all of your love

Baby, don't think twice, na-na
One second can change your life, na-na
Trust the way you feel tonight, na-na
Heaven is a shot in the dark
So shoot with your heart
And don't think twice, na-na
One second can change your life, na-na
Trust the way you feel tonight, na-na
Heaven is a shot in the dark
So shoot with your heart
Don't think twice

Am I drunk or am I dreamin'? (Am I dreamin'?)
'Cause, babe, I've never seen this clear (before)
This could be your best investment (best investment)
If you just stay right here

Love's a risky bid (hey, yeah)
Play me like roulette (hey, yeah)
Don't think with your head (no, no, no, no)
Yeah, I don't ask for much (hey, yeah)
Just all of your love (hey, yeah)

Baby, don't think twice, na-na
One second can change your life, na-na
Trust the way you feel tonight, na-na
Heaven is a shot in the dark
So shoot with your heart
And don't think twice

(Na-na, na-na-na-na-na)
You better love
(Na-na, na-na-na-na-na)
Come to me, ooh
(Na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
Ooh, yeah
Shoot for the starts, shoot for your heart
And aim for love

Love's a risky bid (na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
Play me like roulette (and love somebody)
Don't think with your head (na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na)
Don't think with your head (you better love somebody)
Love's a risky bid
Play me like roulette (na-na, na-na-na-na-na)
Don't think with your head

Baby, don't think twice, na-na
One second can change your life, na-na
Trust the way you feel tonight, na-na
Heaven is a shot in the dark
So shoot with your heart
And don't think twice, na-na

You Only Love Me

(Rita, it's me)

I'm outside your house again, freezing in the cold
Waiting for the moment I learned to let go
I've been messed up a thousand times with tears in my eyes
But all the pain, it fades away, when you say it right

I try, I try, and I try
To tell myself it's alright
'Cause I'm terrified

You only love me when the
Whiskey's pouring
Four in the morning
You only love, you only love
You only love me when the
Night is over
No one to hold ya
You only love, you only love
You only love me when the

You only love me when the
You only love me when the

I can't believe you look at me the way I look at you
'Cause no one's ever loved me like the way that you do
I've been messed up a thousand times, but you make it right
And even on my darkest days, you show me the light

I try, I try, and I try
To tell myself it's alright
'Cause I'm terrified

You only love me when the
Whiskey's pouring
Four in the morning
You only love, you only love
You only love me when the
Night is over (yeah, yeah)
No one to hold ya (whoa, whoa)
You only love, you only love
You only love me when the

(Ah, yeah)
You only love me when the
(Oh, yeah, uh, oh)

You only love me when the
Whiskey's pouring
Four in the morning
You only love, you only love
You only love me when the
Night is over
No one to hold ya (yeah, yeah)
You only love, you only love
You only love me when the

(This is how I am, and this is how you are)

Praising You

I've been gone for a minute
Been low key with my business
Askin', "Rita, who is it? Is it true?" (Is it true?)
I've been takin' off every weekend
You and I in our feelings
'Cause the high's so much better with you (with you)

Oh, my God, been a hell of a ride
But you feel like a religion, ah ooh
And who knew love would leave me feelin' this good?
I have to praise you like I should

I have to praise you (oh-oh-oh, hey)
I have to praise you (oh-oh-oh, hey)
I have to praise you (oh-oh-oh, hey)
I have to praise you like I should

Now it's four in the morning
And it never gets boring
Friends, they shut up about it, I can't stop
It's written all over my face
You got me realigning my faith
That's the kinda thing that needs praise
Ohhh, I

Oh, my God, been a hell of a ride
But you feel like a religion, ah ooh
And who knew love would leave me feelin' this good?
I have to praise you like I should

I have to praise you, have to praise you (oh-oh-oh, hey)
I have to praise you (oh-oh-oh, hey)
I have to praise you (oh-oh-oh, hey)
I have to praise you like I should

Don't know, don't know what you do
But I'm a-a-always praising you
Don't know, don't know what you do
But I'm a-a-always praising you
Don't know, don't know what you do
But I'm a-a-always praising you
Don't know, don't know what you do
But I'm a-a-always praising you

I have to
I have to praise you (oh-oh-oh, hey)
I have to praise you (oh-oh-oh, hey)
I have to praise you (oh-oh-oh, hey)
I have to praise you like I should

I have to praise you (oh-oh-oh, hey)
(But I'm a-a-always praising you)
I have to praise you (oh-oh-oh, hey)
(But I'm a-a-always praising you)
I have to praise you (oh-oh-oh, hey)
(But I'm a-a-always praising you)
I have to praise you like I should

Unfeel It

Something about our bodies, how they intertwine
And when you said you loved me, all I did was cry
Now I'm at a standstill with those big round eyes
I'm just on your time

'Cause you're a mad man, I'm your rider
If you asked me, I'd be right there
So come closer, my supernova
'Cause now I'm, I'm freaking out
I'm freaking out, I'm freaking out

Yeah, you've got me all f*cked up
And I'm all out of place
You've got my heart locked up
And I just can't escape
And I can't unfeel it
How do I unfeel it?
'Cause I can't unfeel it
Feel it, feel it

Yeah, you've got me all f*cked up
And I'm all out of place
You've got my heart locked up
And I just can't escape
And I can't unfeel it
How do I unfeel it?
'Cause I can't unfeel it
Feel it, feel it, there's no way

My friends think I'm crazy and they're kind of right
It's that good, good sweet loving, keep you up all night
Oh baby, how dare you, messing up my mind
I'm freaking out, I'm freaking out
I'm freaking out, I'm freaking

Yeah, you've got me all f*cked up
And I'm all out of place
You've got my heart locked up
And I just can't escape
And I can't unfeel it
How do I unfeel it?
'Cause I can't unfeel it
Feel it, feel it, there's no way

I don't love you
F*ck you, I love you
I never meant to give my heart away
It's an obsession, closer to heaven
I'm freaking out, I'm freaking out
I'm freaking out, I'm freaking

Yeah, you've got me all f*cked up
And I'm all out of place
You've got my heart locked up
And I just can't escape
And I can't unfeel it
How do I unfeel it?
'Cause I can't unfeel it
Feel it, feel it, there's no way

Yeah, you've got me all f*cked up
And I'm all out of place
You've got my heart locked up
And I just can't escape
And I can't unfeel it (oh, you love me)
How do I unfeel it? (I swear that you love me)
'Cause I can't unfeel it (tell me you love me)
Feel it, feel it, there's no way

Waiting for You

Oh, yeah
I don't know what you did
But you did something to me
All of my doubts have disappeared
I'd had enough, I'd given up
Watched all my friends get married
Lonely under the chandelier

Always kept up my guard
Wasn't ready for love
Just a beat in my heart with no use
On the bench watching out
But it's clear to me now
All this time I was waiting for you

For you, for you
For you, for you
I was waiting for you

Now you're here by my side
Look at you smiling at me
Sun in the sky don't shine so bright (shine so bright)
Finally, I believe in all these love stories
They will come find you when it's time

Always kept up my guard
Wasn't ready for love
Just a beat in my heart with no use
On the bench watching out
But it's clear to me now
All this time I was waiting for you

For you, for you (oh yeah, oh, I was waiting for you)
For you, for you (yeah, I was waiting, I was waiting, yeah, I was waiting for you, yeah)
I was waiting for you

I was waiting, I was waiting for ya
I was waiting, I was waiting for you
I was waiting, I was waiting for ya
I was waiting, I was waiting for you

Always kept up my guard
Wasn't ready for love
Just a beat in my heart with no use
On the bench watching out
But it's clear to me now
All this time I was waiting for you, for you, yeah

I was waiting
I was waiting for you

I was waiting, I was waiting for ya (hey)
I was waiting, I was waiting for you (you know I was waiting for you)
I was waiting, I was waiting for ya (yeah yeah, oh yeah)
I was waiting, I was waiting for you

You and I

I used to listen to the love songs on repeat
Tryin' to figure out how they would work for me
I just want to dance with somebody, somebody who loved me
Now I see you standing in our garden lights
Damn, I knew when I got dressed to go that night
That I finally found that somebody to stand by me

I will ride for you
Spare my life for you
If you ask me to

Now I'm dancing in your arms to Eternal Flame
I know my life is never gonna be the same, that's fine
There's a lifetime in those eyes
Now we're singing all the words to Sweet Caroline
And you say to me, I love the way you look tonight
You know I, I never got it right
Until I found you and I

Always thought that the one thing waiting for me
Was not a wonderful world but a tragedy
But you went and rewrote our whole story
To an everlasting love

I will ride for you
Spare my life for you
If you ask me to

Now I'm dancing in your arms to Eternal Flame
I know my life is never gonna be the same, that's fine
There's a lifetime in those eyes
Now we're singing all the words to Sweet Caroline
And you say to me, I love the way you look tonight
You know I, I never got it right
Until I found you and I

You and I
Until I found you and I
Ooh, you and I

Now I'm dancing in your arms to Eternal Flame
I know my life is never gonna be the same, that's fine (that's fine)
There's a lifetime in those eyes (there's a lifetime)
Now we're singing all the words to Sweet Caroline
And you say to me, I love the way you look tonight
You know I, I never got it right (I never got it right)
Until I found you and I

That Girl

Tonight is the night
When my soul comes back to life
No more fears, only glitter in my eyes
Diamond tears all in streams
Baby, just like in your dreams (just like in your)
I'm the lover, I'm the sweetest fantasy (yeah, yeah)

When they look at me, look at me
Look at me, look at me, they say

That girl wants to party all the time
Party all the time, party all the time
That girl wants to party all the time
Party all the time, party all the time (that girl, that girl)
Her lips are the dance floor, her heart is a drum
When she's looking at you, you'll feel like you're the one
Oh, party all the time
Party all the time, party all the time (that girl, that girl, that girl)

Just like that, you'll be trapped
All the things you never had (things you never had)
Hand to God, you'll be praying for it bad (yeah, yeah)
'Cause I'll give you a mystery
Write you a symphony, let's play (yeah, yeah)

When they look at me, look at me
Look at me, look at me, they'll say

That girl wants to party all the time
Party all the time, party all the time
That girl wants to party all the time
Party all the time, party all the time (that girl, that girl)
Her lips are the dance floor, her heart is a drum
When she's looking at you, you'll feel like you're the one
Oh, party all the time
Party all the time, party all the time (that girl, that girl, that girl)

That girl wants to party all the time
Party all the time, party all the time
That girl wants to party all the time
Party all the time, party all the time (that girl, that girl)
Her lips are the dance floor, her heart is a drum
When she's looking at you, you'll feel like you're the one
Oh, party all the time
Party all the time, party all the time (that girl, that girl, that girl)

Shape of Me

Yeah, my mama got that heart
She said, don't let go of the parts that keep you younger (keep you younger)
Keep you younger (keep you younger)
So, I broke that girl in two and found someone I never knew
Inside the thunder (in the thunder)
Now I wonder (wonder)

Why I lost a part of me
Trying so hard to please
I just heard my echo
Now I'm tryin' to let go
When I think of better nights
With her by my side
Saying it's okay though
Use this shit as ammo

She said, don't you worry, babe
You've got my blood in your veins
I'll be here to catch you
When your world is just about to break
She said, don't you worry, babe
You can't help the way you're shaped
So you gotta go make peace
With all the pieces that you hate

I'm tryin' to find the shape of me
I'm tryin' to find the shape of me

'Round and 'round I go
You know I only find the faith right when hold you (when I hold you)
Yeah, when hold you (when I hold you)
I get lost in time and space
I'm just tryna find my place
So, let me show ya, let me show ya

Why I lost a part of me
Trying so hard to please
I just heard my echo
Now I'm tryin' to let go
When I think of better nights
With her by my side
Saying it's okay though
Use this shit as ammo

She said, don't you worry, babe
You've got my blood in your veins
I'll be here to catch you
When your world is just about to break
She said, don't you worry, babe
You can't help the way you're shaped
So you gotta go make peace
With all the pieces that you hate

I'm tryin' to find the shape of me
I'm tryin' to find the shape of me
I'm tryin' to find the shape of me, oh yeah
I'm tryin' to find the shape of me, oh yeah
The shape of me

Look At Me Now

I've made peace with the mirror
It took all of hell just to love myself
Now I'm seeing things clearer
I don't need anyone else

Take it with a pinch of salt
People always come and go
I won't keep my enemies close
The more you see, the more you learn
Better off for being burned
Breathe it in then let it go

Throw your stones until I'm broken
They won't bring me down
Even in my darkest moments
I am happy now

Shoot me with your best shot
Hold me in a headlock
Give me all you've got, baby
Aim for the heart
Throw your stones until I'm broken
They won't bring me down
Look at me now, look at me now
Look at me now, look at me now

Mended things with my mother
Now I look like her and I found the words
So I tell her I love her
And she knows me like no other, oh

Take it with a pinch of salt
People always come and go
I won't keep my enemies close (oh no)
The more you see, the more you learn
Better off for being burned
Breathe it in then let it go

Throw your stones until I'm broken
They won't bring me down
Even in my darkest moments
I am happy now

Shoot me with your best shot
Hold me in a headlock
Give me all you've got, baby
Aim for the heart
Throw your stones until I'm broken
They won't bring me down (bring me down)
Look at me now, look at me now (look at me now)
Look at me now, look at me now (look at me now, look at me now)

Girl in the Mirror

You better sit down 'cause I've got a confession to make
Held onto my angels by giving the devil a break
I'm sorry, I love you, it's just that I found someone better
And she's someone I've always wanted for now and forever

I cheated on you in the best way
With someone I've known my whole life
And I hope that you can forgive me
'Cause this just feels so right

When I see her staring back at me
Yeah, we've got so much history
I'm in love with the girl in the mirror, the mirror, yeah
We've got such a crazy past
She always used to put me last
I'm in love with the girl in the mirror, the mirror

I glow, oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh
In the mirror, the mirror, yeah

She used to tell me to hide all the cracks on my skin, yeah
But you can't move forward without learning how to forgive
I'm sorry, I love you
It's just that she knows what I'm feeling (knows what I'm feeling)
Gone through therapy just to get this level of healing

I cheated on you in the best way
With someone I've known my whole life
And I hope that you can forgive me
'Cause this just feels so right

When I see her staring back at me
Yeah, we've got so much history
I'm in love with the girl in the mirror, the mirror, yeah
We've got such a crazy past
She always used to put me last
I'm in love with the girl in the mirror, the mirror

I glow, oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh
In the mirror, the mirror, yeah
I glow, oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh
In the mirror, the mirror, yeah

When I see her staring back at me
Yeah, we've got so much history
I'm in love with the girl in the mirror, the mirror, yeah

I glow, oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh
In the mirror, the mirror, yeah
I glow, oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh
In the mirror, the mirror, yeah

Notting Hill

Lost in Portobello
Find us there Friday nights
Stay there 'til the market
Opens up right at nine
We were broke but that was fine
Two-pound shots really got us by
Lost in Portobello, oh

Oh, yeah we don't do it like we used to do
Maybe I should call my friends

Baby, I wanna go back to that summer
Just seventeen, going rounds then another
Now everything changed, it was simple back then
Oh, we used to do it all for the thrill
Damn, I miss those nights, just us in Notting Hill

Going out Mau Mau's
Barely catch the last tube
Go out with the same crowd
Knew the whole neighborhood
Broke up with my first boyfriend
Thought my life had ended then
Back when I was nobody
But I felt I was somebody

Oh, now we don't do it like we used to do
Maybe I should call my friends

Baby, I wanna go back to that summer
Just seventeen, going rounds then another
Now everything changed, it was simple back then
Oh, we used to do it all for the thrill
Damn, I miss those nights, just us in Notting Hill

Oh, we used to do it all for the thrill
Damn, I miss those nights, just us in Notting Hill

I Don't Wanna Be Your Friend

Closing time, you take off your jumper
Home and dry, feels like better weather
But then I can't string words together
Tongue-tied forever

I was better at this when I was seventeen
I would be making the move, the way you're looking at me
Now we're writing a song on your bedroom floor
And people are calling you just ignore them all, oh

I don't wanna be your friend
I wanna wake up in your bed
I'm losing just a little more sleep
And a bit of self-confidence
Oh, I swear I'm in love with you
But I've gotta lie to you
'Cause if I let out the truth
I can never take it back

I don't wanna be your friend
I wanna wake up in your bed
I'd write it out a million times
But then I get scared to send
Oh, I swear I'm in love with you
But I've gotta lie to you
'Cause if I let out the truth
I can't take it back

Hanging on every word that you say
Play your songs, play the one we just made
Long slow nights, warm white wine and mind games
I don't want us to change

I was better at this when I was twenty-one
The way you're looking at me like we're already in love
Now we're filling our drinks on your bedroom floor
People are calling you just ignore them all, oh

I don't wanna be your friend
I wanna wake up in your bed
I'm losing just a little more sleep
And a bit of self-confidence
Oh, I swear I'm in love with you
But I've gotta lie to you
'Cause if I let out the truth
I can never take it back

I don't wanna be your friend
I wanna wake up in your bed
I'd write it out a million times
But then I get scared to send
Oh, I swear I'm in love with you
But I've gotta lie to you (I gotta lie)
'Cause if I let out the truth
I can't take it back

I don't wanna be your friend
I wanna wake up in your bed
I'm losing just a little more sleep
And a little self-confidence
Oh, I swear I'm in love with you
But I've gotta lie to you
'Cause if I let out the truth
I can never take it back
