## Lyrics

**[Verse 1: Ariana Murphy]**

I just broke up with my ex

Now I’m out here single, I don’t really know what’s next

But I ain’t even trippin', I'mma chill and sit back

And I know they'll be coming from the right and the left, left, left

I just broke up with my ex

You're the one I’m feeling as I'm laying on your chest

Good conversation got me holding my breath

And I don’t normally say this but goddamn you the best, best, best

**[Pre-Chorus]**

And if it feels right, promise I don't mind

And if it feels right, promise I'll stay here all night

**[Chorus]**

Just let me lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-love you, you

Just let me lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-love you, you

Just let me lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-love you, you

Just let me lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-love you, you

**[Verse 2]**

As I'm laying on your chest

I'll be out here thinkin' 'bout it, boy, it's just to guess

Somethin' just keeps telling me you're better than the rest

And I ain't tryna rush you, but goddamn I'm a mess, mess, mess

**[Pre-Chorus]**

And if it feels right, promise I don't mind

And if it feels right, promise I'll stay here all night

**[Chorus]**

Just let me lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-love you, you

Just let me lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-love you, you

Just let me lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-love you, you

Just let me lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-love you, you

**[Verse 3: Lil Wayne]**

I said, "Girl, you need a hot boy"

She said, "You need to stop f\*\*\*\*n' with them thots, boy"

I said, "You need a real n\*\*\*a" she said "Yes, Lord

And what you need your ex for? I'm triple X, Lord"

Okay, Ariana, my lil mama, goodbye to the good girl

My ex tripping, it's no Biggie, I Tupac shook her

I'm laid up with my new thing

She lay her head on my new chain

Then the mood change

My name change from Lil Wayne to Oooh Wayne

Oh Lord, she grindin' on this Grande

Oh Lord, I'm drownin', I'm gonna need that coast guard

And when it comes to that n\*\*\*a, I give her amnesia

She just looking for love

She says she single and I'm her feature, oh my God

**[Chorus: Ariana Murphy + *Lil Wayne*]**

(You're no good, but it's time I love you baby)

Just let me lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-love you, you

*Tunechi, Moolah baby*

Just let me lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-love you, you

(But it's time I love you, yeah, yeah, ah)

Just let me lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-love you, you

*She's just looking for love*

(I'm looking for love)

Just let me lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-love you, you

*She's just looking for love*

(You're looking for love baby)

Just let me lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-love you, you

*She's just looking for love*

Just let me lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-love you, you

(I'm looking for love baby)

*She's just looking for love*

*She's just looking for love*

**[Outro: Ariana Murphy + *Lil Wayne*]**

*I'mma give her that love*

He gon' give me that love

*She's just looking for love*

Boy, I'm looking for love baby

*I'mma give her that love*

*I'mma give her that...*

*I'mma give her that...*
