Insecure: Music from the HBO Original Series, Season 3
[Verse 1]
Been a long time, clean washed sheets
And I don't wanna wait no more, for you to touch me
Up, count 'em up, ten to one
So many others linin' up
Nobody's every done this to me
Your body's like a stranger to me
Our last lie, I should've known
But it all looked good on paper
We never allign, took too much space
It's been a lo-o-ng time

[Pre-Chorus]
So why don't you, show, me something
I don't need much just something

[Chorus]
I can't be me, no, no, no
Check my references
It must be you, yeah, yeah, yeah
You don't reach out for me
I can't be me, no, no, no
I got references
It must be you, yeah, yeah, yeah
Why do you let me sleep through the night?

[Verse 2]
Built from different frames, I was made for higher speeds
And you were slow, hopin' you could change
Switch or step your games up
I often think about all the other lovers that I used to know
And where we were
Dug deep and we'd come back up
Forever lonely when we needed
But when it's you I end up alone
I guess it's on you, show me that you really want me
I've been tryna play my role, probably could've run around
Don't know where I ever found faith
I was hopin' you would take control and hold me down
But I don't know how long I can wait

[Pre-Chorus]
So why don't you, show, me something
I don't need much just something

[Chorus]
I can't be me, no, no, no
Check my references
It must be you, yeah, yeah, yeah
You don't reach out for me
I can't be me, no, no, no
I got references
It must be you, yeah, yeah, yeah
Why do you let me sleep through the night?
