[Hook: Rocky Business]
I need you so much closer
I need you na-na-now
I need you na-na-now
I need you so much closer
I need you na-na-now
I need you na-na-now

[Verse 1: Hoodie Allen]
I know we got our ways to go
But lately I've been feeling like we're so much closer
I don't wanna wait no more
I'm hung up on you, I'm like a poster
And this is how I take the flow
'Cause we going up and down and they calling it a coaster
But I don't wanna take it slow
I'm doing all the shit that I thought we supposed to
To-to-to let you know
That this is real, and I mean it
Take you to an island, but no, not Revis
Gotta steal your heart and you know I'm not thieving even
If I foul up, never will I ref that
We've been cookin' up this chem like a meth lab
All the other people, never would I stress that
'Cause you a cutie and I need you in my death cab

[Hook: Rocky Business]
I need you so much closer
I need you na-na-now
I need you na-na-now
I need you so much closer
I need you na-na-now
I need you na-na-now
I need you so much closer
I need you na-na-now
I need you na-na-now
I need you so much closer
I need you na-na-now
I need you na-na-now

[Verse 2: Hoodie Allen]
I know we got a ways to go
But lately I've been feeling like I'm chasing planets
And you never change your clothes
But you always seem to go and change your status
So I'm just tryna let you know
That it's so unneeded baby 'cause you the baddest
But I don't wanna take it slow
You drive me like Ford it's automatic
I-i-i-it might mean
If you my addiction then I just feign
And ever since the day you been likin' me
I'm assembling these lines like a height machine
No Kathy Lee, we don't need a sweatshop
'Cause every time we drop a track, people get hot
And I've been aiming for the top like a headshot
Even when aiming for your heart was my best shot

[Hook: Rocky Business]
I need you so much closer
I need you na-na-now
I need you na-na-now
I need you so much closer
I need you na-na-now
I need you na-na-now
I need you so much closer
I need you na-na-now
I need you na-na-now
I need you so much closer
I need you na-na-now
I need you na-na-now

[Bridge: Rocky Business]
I'm not saying I wouldn't ever do it again
But I hope that you'll be there when I open the door
And I swear that I'm trying hard to call you a friend
But I'm sorry I can't wait no more, more, more, more
I'm sorry I can't wait no more, more, more, more
I'm sorry I can't wait no more, more, more, more
I'm sorry I can't wait, oh what the hell I'm sayin'
You know that I would wait because

[Hook: Rocky Business]
I need you so much closer
I need you na-na-now
I need you na-na-now
I need you so much closer
I need you na-na-now
I need you na-na-now
