[Intro]
I'm not tryna mess with y'all today, man
I know what y'all gon' try to do
Tryna hook me up with him
And let me talk to him
Nah man, I'm not… no
I don't wanna experiment and date around
You know I just want one guy
I'm not, I'm not with all of that
You know, meeting people
And testin' the waters and stuff like that
No, I just, I just want to date one guy
And see where it goes from there, you know? (Yeah)

[Verse 1]
There's no reason for me to do what you want me to (To)
That's the truth, wanna chill by myself and it's cool (Chill, cool)
Despite what you may think, 'cause I say (Say)
When the time is right (Time is right)
The real thing will come into my life
And until then, I'm so satisfied and happy with me, oh

[Chorus]
Ain't lookin' for nobody
Homies sayin' that I should (No)
I ain't really searchin'
'Cause I know what I'm lookin' for
Nothing to figure out
Nothing to talk about (No)
I won't play the game
Don't wanna catch a show
With every hottie in the hood
I ain't really stressin'
'Cause I know what I need and more
Nothing to think about
Nothing to talk about
I won't play the game

[Verse 2]
You think I'm lonely and I'm hurtin'
Hopin' and searchin' for love (Hopin' for love)
But that just ain't the case
When I'm home alone or chillin' with my friends
I do it at my own pace (Whoa)
Just 'cause you can't figure out (Figure out)
What real love is all about
Don't even think that's what I'm feelin' inside
(Don't even think that's how I'm feelin' inside)
'Cause I'm not tryna rush it, these things take time

[Chorus]
Ain't lookin' for nobody
Homies sayin' that I should
I ain't really searchin'
'Cause I know what I'm lookin' for (Lookin' for)
Nothing to figure out
Nothing to talk about
I won't play the game
Don't wanna catch a show (I don't wanna)
With every hottie in the hood
I ain't really stressin' (I can't really stressin')
'Cause I know what I need and more
('Cause I know what I need and more)
Nothing to think about
Nothing to talk about
I won't play the game

[Bridge]
You may think I'm crazy, maybe
But I got my mind made up (Up)
(It's true) It's true
I'm not wastin' my time
Tryin' to find (Tryin' to find)
What destiny has prepared for me (Has prepared for me)
So, I don't wanna talk no more (No)

[Chorus]
Ain't lookin' for nobody
Homies sayin' that I should
(I ain't really searchin' 'cause I know)
I ain't really searchin'
'Cause I know what I'm lookin' for
Nothing to figure out
Nothing to talk about (Oh, no)
I won't play the game
Don't wanna catch a show
With every hottie in the hood
I ain't really stressin' (I ain't really stressin')
'Cause I know what I need and more
('Cause I know what I need and more)
Nothing to think about
(You can't get me to play the game)
Nothing to talk about
I won't play the game

[Outro]
Ain't lookin' for nobody
Homies sayin' that I should
I ain't really searchin'
'Cause I know what I'm lookin' for
Nothing to figure out
Nothing to talk about
I won't play the game (I won't play the game)
Don't wanna catch a show
With every hottie in the hood
I ain't really stressin'
'Cause I know what I need and more
(I know what I need and more)
Nothing to think about
Nothing to talk about
I won't play the game

Jhené Aiko Efuru Chilombo (born March 16, 1988) started her career under the moniker Jhené Aiko when she was 13 with the music group B2K. She explained how she later opted out of the deal to go back to high school and have her daughter Namiko in an interview back in July 2012 with Lozza

I was signed with Sony/EPIC when I was 12 years old and got a release from them when I was about 15 or 16 to focus on school. I started writing more and I had a child who’s now three years old.

After the failed release of her debut album, My Name Is Jhené back in 2003, Jhené released her debut mixtape, Sailing Soul(s) on March 16, 2011.
