[Intro]
Yeah (Na, na, na, na, na)
Hoodie, ooh
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
I tried to tell your ass before but you just ain't listen
Now I'm the reason that you pissed and, like Blake Griffin
You say I spend way too much time around these fake bitches
But every time I shoot my shot you know I ain't missin'
I'm Horace Grant with the goggles, baby great vision
It's supercalifragilistic that's how I'm livin'
I mean it's always poppin', poppin', poppin' 'round me girl
But I ain't tryna brag it's nothin' but a hobby girl
I'm icy like a hockey player, more connected than the mayor
Fuck it, I swear everyone I know is tryna do me favors
Never thought I'd be a player, tryna find my own Zendaya
If you walk away right now, I wouldn't even blame ya

[Chorus]
It go like this, a hell of a try
You fall in love, and I don't reply
It's probably 'cause I'm scared to admit
I don't know why love even exists

[Verse 2]
I'm just tryna be faithful, I'm always respectful
She asks "How you feelin'?", I tell her successful
The ice on my wrist, perma, it ain't a rental
I'm so generous, they compare me to Kendall
I'd buy you the world if you let me
She say she down for a good time in Tempe
I tell her "Girl don't you tempt me"
We go straight to ASU, say "I really like the view"
We can kick it on the beach, maybe grab a bite or two
Get you backstage pass when I'm playing Bonnaroo
But this love won't last, something bittersweet and true
I just gotta break it down for you

[Chorus]
It go like this (This), a hell of a try
You fall in love (Love), and I don't reply
It's probably 'cause ('Cause), I'm scared to admit
I don't know why love even exists
It go like this (This), a hell of a try
You fall in love (Love), and I don't reply
It's probably 'cause ('Cause), I'm scared to admit
I don't know why love even exists

[Outro]
I don't know why love even exists
You sent me letters you seal with a kiss
All of the times and the texts that I missed
I don't know why love even exists
I said "I don't know why" (I don't know why)
I don't know why (I don't know why)
I don't know why (I don't know why)
I don't know why (I don't know why)
I don't know why (I don't know why)
I don't know why (I don't know why)
I don't know why (I don't know why)
I don't know why (I don't know why)
