Drew Barrymore

## Drew BarrymoreSong by SZA

"**Drew Barrymore**" is the lead single and fourth track from SZA's debut studio album, *Ctrl*. It was released through Top Dawg and RCA on January 13, 2017.

“Drew Barrymore” portrays a seemingly somber, unassured version of SZA, with the lyrics indicating low self-esteem, especially in a relationship that is so unbalanced. The song speaks on both dealing with insecurity and questions companionship along with self-worth. During her performance at VEVO Halloween 2017, SZA revealed that the song was about a party.

> "This next song, I wrote about a party that I went to for a boy … I was really excited [and] it turns out he brought a girl to the party… So, basically, I went. I did not ever see him for the entire party [and] I smoked all [my] weed by myself…And [I] had a fantastic time."

## Background

The song was first previewed on the 3rd of December, 2015, as the backing track for the Ford Focus campaign that featured Zoë Kravitz and SZA.

## Lyrics

**[Skit: Mommy]**

Go

**[Verse 1]**

Why is it so hard to accept the party is over?

You came with your new friends

And her mom jeans and her new Vans

And she's perfect and I hate it

Oh so glad you made it

I'm so glad you could come by

Somebody get the tacos, somebody spark the blunt

Let's start the Narcos off at episode one

Bring the gin, got the juice

Bring the sin, got that too

Won't you just shut up, know you're my favorite

Am I...

**[Chorus]**

Warm enough for ya outside, baby, yeah

Tell me that it's warm enough here for ya

Is it warm enough for ya inside me

Me, me, me?

Warm enough for ya outside, baby, yeah

Tell me that it's warm enough here for ya

Warm enough outside, inside me

Me, me, me

**[Verse 2]**

I get so lonely, I forget what I'm worth

We get so lonely, we pretend that this works

I'm so ashamed of myself think I need therapy-y-y-y

I'm sorry I'm not more attractive

I'm sorry I'm not more ladylike

I'm sorry I don't shave my legs at night

I'm sorry I'm not your baby mama

I'm sorry you got karma comin' to you

Collect your soul, get it right

**[Chorus]**

Warm enough for ya outside, baby, yeah

Tell me that it's warm enough here for ya

Is it warm enough for ya inside me

Me, me, me?

Warm enough for ya outside, baby, yeah

Tell me that it's warm enough here for ya

Warm enough outside, inside me

Me, me, me

**[Bridge]**

Sorry, I just need to see you

I'm sorry I'm so clingy, I don't mean to be a lot

Do you really wanna love me down like you say you do?

Give it to me like you say you do?

'Cause it's hard enough you got to treat me like this

Lonely enough to let you treat me like this

Do you really love me?

Or just wanna love me down, down, down, down?

**[Chorus]**

Warm enough for ya outside, baby, yeah

Tell me that it's warm enough here for ya (Outside, baby, yeah)

Is it warm enough for ya inside me

Me, me, me? (Me, me, me, me, me)

Warm enough for ya outside, baby, yeah

Tell me that it's warm enough here for ya (Outside, baby, yeah)

Warm enough outside, inside me

Me, me, me (Warm enough outside, inside)

**[Outro]**

Warm enough outside, inside

Me-me-me-me, me-me-me

Ohh-woah, is it warm enough

Outside, inside?
