**[Chorus: Camila Cabello]**

You, I love it how you move me

I love it how you touch me, my one

It lingers when we're done

You'll believe God is a woman

And I, you say I give you new highs

Like heaven could be all mine, my one

It lingers when we're done

You'll believe God is a woman

**[Verse 1: Rita Ora]**

I never said I was a saint, but you make me holy

Pushing me away, and now that I'm slowly

Under your clothes, saving your soul

You got me talking in my sleep, it’s driving me crazy

Lying to myself, I know he don’t love mе

But still I’m under your clothes, saving your soul
