lyrics
Rei – Out Dancing
Verse 1
Guess you knew me better than I ever knew myself
You do things better when it’s all for someone else
That’s just you, and I trust you but when I heard that
(beep beep) leave a message
Pray I don’t hear that (hmmm hmm) I’m leaving message
I’m in the studio yo don’t need the stresses
I need you waiting at home home to relieve the pressures
Pre Chorus 1
Instead you was out dancing dancing
Yes you was out dancing dancing dancing
I hope you was out dancing dancing dancing
And not with another man thing man thing man thing
I tried to text but you were dancing dancing dancing
With your girls and your dancing dancing dancing
Hope you just drank you too much vodka vodka vodka
So you couldn’t really answer answer answer
Hope you was out
Chorus
(ay ya ya ya ya)
Hope you was out hope you was out
(ay ya ya ya ya)
Hope you was out dancing dancing dancing
(ay ya ya ya ya)
But you was out dancing dancing dancing
(ay ya ya ya ya)
But you was out
Tell me you was out
Verse 2
You gave me the feels when nobody else would
You would call just to chill when nobody else would
Cuz they all got agendas
Like Riri how you be seen you give me that work
Then you feed me like a freebie your work come with perks
If you got a week free head to Fiji know you feeling burnt
But you gotta get to your phone
Pre Chorus 2
But you were dancing dancing dancing
With your girls and your dancing dancing dancing
Hope you just drank you too much vodka vodka vodka
So you couldn’t really answer answer answer
Hope you was out
Chorus
Bridge
Imma leave the key out just incase you make it to my flat
You know where to find me
Hope you ain’t texting back just cuz your phone battery is flat
Knowing you it’s not likely
You just drank too much
Hope your friends can look after you
Know you don’t give two fucks
About what they think but girl I’m asking you
Were you out dancing dancing
Tell me you was out dancing dancing dancing dancing dancing dancing yeah.
Chorus
