[Verse 1]
Choose your weapon, and let's go
Who's gonna beat this level?
I speed up, you slow down
Looks like I'm on your tail now
Another round, do we give up?
This is taking longer than Zelda
Hold on, what I meant was
Is it too late to get a 1-up?

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, baby, baby, this is getting too crazy
I don't have the training
Baby, baby, baby, this love ain't a game
So we should stop playing

[Chorus]
Push and shove, go 'head and take your aim
We better duck 'cause right now nobody's safe
And we could grow up, but it's no fun that way
And so we treat love like it's a Nintendo game
But nobody wins

[Post-Chorus]
Nobody wins
Nobody, nobody wins
But no-, but the game goes on

[Verse 2]
All the trash talk is getting real old
I'd rather try my hand at Rainbow Road
I'm focused, play my next move
But you're onto me, so it's no use
It's a showdown, a game for two
Pick each other's brains looking for clues
A battle with no objective
Who will be the final one standing?

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, baby, baby, this is getting too crazy
I don't have the training
Baby, baby, baby, this love ain't a game
So we should stop playing

[Chorus]
Push and shove, go 'head and take your aim
We better duck 'cause right now nobody's safe
And we could grow up, but it's no fun that way
And so we treat love like it's a Nintendo game
But nobody wins

[Post-Chorus]
Nobody wins

[Bridge]
Push and shove, go 'head and take your aim
We better duck, 'cause right now nobody's safe

[Chorus]
Push and shove, go 'head and take your aim
We better duck 'cause right now nobody's safe
And we could grow up, but it's no fun that way
And so we treat love like it's a Nintendo game
But nobody wins

Alessia Cara

Alessia Caracciolo is a singer-songwriter from Brampton, Ontario, Canada. Upon the release of her first single, “Here”, she shortened her last name because it was “so long and spelled crazy.”

Cara started posting covers on her YouTube channel at the age of 13. She first started to gain popularity when she posted a cover of Justin Timberlake’s “Mirrors.” Soon after, her cover of The Neighbourhood’s “Sweater Weather” took off. These covers got her signed to EP Entertainment and later, Def Jam.

Her first single, “Here” premiered on The FADER on April 27th, 2015, and blew up soon after. Just four months later, the song racked up 18 million Spotify streams in addition to 4.5 million views on its official video.
