[Intro] Streetlight glow on the walk back home Lip gloss fading, cold in my phone Heart beat soft like a baseline drum Mi tell myself, girl, do not play dumb [Verse 1] Met you under neon by the corner shop sign You said my laugh hit sweet like wine Talking like you know both sides of me Yard in my voice and the Brum city breeze You liked my slang, liked the way I switch From "mi deh ya" straight to "babe, you’re a bit" You held my hand like a borrowed coat But your love came light, never fully wrote [Pre-Chorus] I gave you mornings, you gave me maybes Half typed texts and blurred out maybes Mi heart nah built for your half-time show If you come, come steady or you better let go [Chorus] Do better, love If you want this touch Come clean, come true Come full, not half cut Do better, love If you call it us Talk sweet, walk straight Or you lose this trust [Verse 2] You say I am "different", you say I am "deep" But you disappear when mi soul need sleep Play my voice notes like a little song But you change the key when the nights feel long My auntie call like "baby, you good" Mama say "tek time, know your worth, you should" I hold both flags in my Sunday hair Why would I fold them just to fit you there [Pre-Chorus] I gave you rhythm, you gave me maybe Half eye contact, half gone lately Mi heart nah here for your part time role If you stay, stay fully or you better let go [Chorus] Do better, love If you want this touch Come clean, come true Come full, not half cut Do better, love If you call it us Talk sweet, walk straight Or you lose this trust [Bridge] I am not your accent for the weekend I am not your story for your friends Mi nah shrink small just to fit in frame Say my name right or do not say my name I am not your cure for feeling bored Not your late night comfort on accord If you step to mi, come bold and kind Or leave my number somewhere you cannot find [Chorus] Do better, love If you want this touch Come clean, come true Come full, not half cut Do better, love If you call it us Talk sweet, walk straight Or you lose this trust [Outro] Soft night air on the walk back home Gold hoops shining, skin like chrome Mi hum that line till the feeling enough Under my breath like a prayer - do better, love
