Basics

First time our eyes met
In this dizzy space
Confused if it's a dream, my breath quickens
Come a little closer and slowly
Can you make me feel like a diamond?

But what the, uh
Different from others, ain't beggin' for love
It's not bad, it's just me
Don't know where to turn, like rainbow bubblegum
So hold me tight

I know well about myself
It's not easy, you might want some help
You wanna try, but not tonight
So I'mma call my friend up, take off my makeup
I'mma sleep good tonight, OK

I wanna, wanna, wanna take it to the basics
Don't rush, baby, you want it all
It's obvious, what are you doing, you know everything
Ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah

Like a rose blooming beautifully
On the burning hot desert
Be careful when you approach me
I might unknowingly prick you

It's a moment that requires tension
Don't lose focus, it's now
You're curious, pick up the phone
Ask questions, I'll answer

I know well about myself
It's not easy, you might want some help
You wanna try, but not tonight
So I'mma call my friend up, take off my makeup
I'mma sleep good tonight, OK

I wanna, wanna, wanna take it to the basics
Do you want it all? Don't rush, baby
It's obvious, what are you doing, you know everything
Ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah

I wanna, wanna, wanna take it to the basics
Slow it down and speed it up like you're a spaceship
Baby, later I'll leave you my location
Ah yeah, ah yeah, ah yeah, ah yeah

You might feel like it's lacking
But it's just a faithful attitude to the basics
The tension between us
I know it's better not to let go

I know it feels like you're paying the price
Don't ask for more of me
So let's take it back, oh
Let's take it back

I wanna, wanna, wanna take it to the basics
Don't rush, baby, you want it all
It's obvious, what are you doing, you know everything
Ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah

I wanna, wanna, wanna take it to the basics
Slow it down and speed it up like you're a spaceship
Baby, later I'll leave you my location
Ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah
