[Verse 1]
Homegirl on the road, she doin' promo
You said, "Keep our business on the low-low"
I'm just tryna get you out the friend zone
'Cause you look even better than the photos
I can't find your house, send me the info
Drivin' through the gated residential
Found out I was comin', sent your friends home
Keep on tryna hide it but your friends know

[Chorus]
I only call you when it's half past five
The only time I'd ever call you mine
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
'Cause I'm messed up, that's the real me
'Cause I'm messed up, that's the real me, babe
I only love you when it's half past five
The only time I'd ever call you mine
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
'Cause I'm messed up, that's the real me
'Cause I'm messed up, that's the real me, babe

[Verse 2]
I'ma let you know and keep it simple
Tryna keep it up don't seem so simple
I just keep my business on the low-low
You gon' have to do it at my tempo
Always tryna send me off to rehab
Love started feelin' like it's decaf
I'm just tryna live life for the moment
And all those and their mothers want a relapse

[Chorus]
I only call you when it's half past five
The only time I'd ever call you mine
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
'Cause I'm messed up, that's the real me
'Cause I'm messed up, that's the real me, babe
I only love you when it's half past five
The only time I'd ever call you mine
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
'Cause I'm messed up, that's the real me
'Cause I'm messed up, that's the real me, babe

[Bridge]
Hills have eyes, the hills have eyes
Who are you to judge, who are you to judge?
Hide your lies, boy, hide your lies
Only you to trust, only you

[Chorus]
I only call you when it's half past five
The only time I'd ever call you mine
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
'Cause I'm messed up, that's the real me
'Cause I'm messed up, that's the real me, babe
I only love you when it's half past five
The only time I'd ever call you mine
I only love it when you touch me, not feel me
'Cause I'm messed up, that's the real me
'Cause I'm messed up, that's the real me, babe

[Outro]
That's the real me, babe

Dua Lipa is a British singer-songwriter.

Born in London on August 22, 1995, she is the daughter of Albanian rock artist Dukagjin Lipa. She moved to Kosovo at the age of 11 before returning to the UK at age 15 to attend Sylvia Young Theatre School part-time. Posting covers of artists such as Nelly Furtado, Chance The Rapper and Rihanna, she signed to Warner Records (Vertigo/Captiol for Germany, Austria and Switzerland) and released her debut single, “New Love.” Its follow-up, “Be The One,” became her breakthrough single in mainland Europe. She was also shortlisted for the BBC Sound of 2016 list and was nominated for the prestigious BRITs Critics Choice Award.

In 2016, she broke through in the UK with “Hotter Than Hell,” and scored her first Billboard Hot 100-charting single with “Blow Your Mind (Mwah).” Collaborations with Martin Garrix and Sean Paul on their worldwide hits “Scared to Be Lonely” and “No Lie”“ followed in 2017. Her self-titled debut album was released on June 2, debuting at #5 on the UK Album Charts and at #86 on the Billboard 200 and receiving positive reviews from critics, many praising Dua Lipa’s vocals and confidence. The album’s sixth single, “New Rules,” became a worldwide hit, topping the charts in the UK and remaining in the top 5 for 10 consecutive weeks. In early 2018, “IDGAF” was released to similar success, while Dua won two BRIT Awards, including Best Breakthrough Act. She saw continued success with her Calvin Harris collaboration, “One Kiss,” and closed out the year with a Complete Edition reissue of her album.
