## Lyrics

[Chorus: Kim Petras & lil aaron]

You used to let me cry on your shoulder

And I'll never, I'll never forget that

I'll never, I'll never forget that

And you always let me copy your homework

And I'll never, I'll never forget that

I'll never, I'll never forget that

[Verse 1: lil aaron with Kim Petras]

I remember when I left town, it was different

I don't really miss it that much, reminiscin'

Money ain't the issue, now I do what I wanna

I remember splitting my last check with you

Pick me up, used to pick me up at the corner

Tryna cop a cigarette, holes in your Impala

I didn't mean to leave you all on the back burner

I didn't think it'd happen out here, but it did (Oh, yeah)

[Pre-Chorus: lil aaron with Kim Petras]

And I wish I could spend the night, spend the night (Oh, yeah)

And I know that it's been some time, been some time

[Chorus: Kim Petras & lil aaron]

You used to let me cry on your shoulder

And I'll never, I'll never forget that

I'll never, I'll never forget that

And you always let me copy your homework

And I'll never, I'll never forget that

I'll never, I'll never forget that

[Post-Chorus: Kim Petras & lil aaron]

So while I'm away in LA gettin' paid

Just know I'll never, I'll never forget that

I'll never, I'll never forget that

'Cause you drove me home when I wasn't sober

And I'll never, I'll never forget that

I'll never, I'll never forget that, no

[Verse 2: Kim Petras]

Remember when we stayed up three days straight and passed out

'Member when we traded my Louis in for two ounce

Missed you real bad when I went to California

I got so excited when I seen you in the hallway

I remember when you said we'd make it both together

I remember when you said you're comin' in December

Out of luck, must be out of luck 'cause you're not here

Hit me up, never hit me up I waited, oh, (Oh, yeah)

[Pre-Chorus: Kim Petras]

And I wish you could spend the night, spend the night (Oh, yeah)

And I know that it's been some time, been some time (Yeah)

[Chorus: Kim Petras & lil aaron]

You used to let me cry on your shoulder

And I'll never, I'll never forget that

I'll never, I'll never forget that

And you always let me copy your homework

And I'll never, I'll never forget that

I'll never, I'll never forget that

[Post-Chorus: Kim Petras & lil aaron]

So while I'm away in LA gettin' paid

Just know I'll never, I'll never forget that

I'll never, I'll never forget that

'Cause you drove me home when I wasn't sober (When I wasn't sober)

And I'll never, I'll never forget that

I'll never, I'll never forget that, no

[Bridge: Kim Petras]

Yeah I was feelin' so cool

When we rolled up before school

And sometimes I want it back

Been so busy countin' stacks

Remember how we left off

Looking back that really sucked

I know I said I would call

I know I said I would call

[Chorus: Kim Petras & lil aaron]

You used to let me cry on your shoulder

And I'll never, I'll never forget that

I'll never, I'll never forget that

And you always let me copy your homework

And I'll never, I'll never forget that (Never, never)

I'll never, I'll never forget that

[Post-Chorus: Kim Petras & lil aaron]

So while I'm away in LA gettin' paid

Just know I'll never, I'll never forget that (Never)

I'll never, I'll never forget that

'Cause you drove me home when I wasn't sober (When I wasn't sober, yeah)

And I'll never, I'll never forget that (That)

I'll never, I'll never forget that, no
