[Verse 1]
They say one door open when another door close
I'm prayin' that's the way that it goes
'Cause right when I'm 'bout to turn the door knob
It seems it's all locked up and the key decomposed
Remind me this the life that I chose
Go full speed
I can't read the signs that say stop

[Pre-Chorus]
I brush it off and try to act all nonchalant, yeah
I notice everything, I just act like I don't

[Chorus]
But I know what I want (I know)
Yeah, I know what I want (just what)
But I know what I want (I want)
But I know what I want (don't tell me, 'cause...)

[Verse 2]
You swear that you're grown
It's 5 in the morning
You won't call, or come home
I'm getting really tired of it
All up in my phone, boy, leave it alone
And I'm learning, now I know
Should have left your ass in the friend zone

[Verse 1]
They say one door open when another door close
I'm prayin' that's the way that it goes
'Cause right when I'm 'bout to turn the door knob
It seems it's all locked up and the key decomposed
Remind me this the life that I chose
Go full speed
I can't read the signs that say stop

[Pre-Chorus]
I brush it off and try to act all nonchalant, yeah
I notice everything, I just act like I don't

[Chorus]
But I know what I want (I know)
Yeah, I know what I want (just what)
But I know what I want (I want)
But I know what I want (don't tell me, 'cause...)
But I know what I want (I know)
Yeah, I know what I want (just what)
But I know what I want (I want)
But I know what I want (don't tell me, 'cause...)

[Bridge]
I know just what I want
Don't tell me, 'cause I know
Yeah, I know
Yeah, I know
Don't tell me
I know what I want
Yeah, I know what I want
But I know what I want
Yeah, I know what I want

[Chorus]
But I know what I want (I know)
Yeah, I know what I want (just what)
But I know what I want (I want)
But I know what I want (don't tell me, 'cause...)

[Verse 2]
You swear that you're grown
It's 5 in the morning
You won't call, or come home
I'm getting really tired of it
All up in my phone, boy, leave it alone
Should have left your ass in the friend zone

Kali Uchis

Karly-Marina Loaiza (born July 17, 1994), better known as her stage name Kali Uchis, is a Colombian-American singer, songwriter, record producer, music video director, and fashion designer.

Sporting a 50’s aesthetic (from which Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald are cited influences), Kali’s brand of art pop spans the length of many genres of soul (doo-wop, reggae, funk, quiet storm, psychedelia) with a Latina twist.

Kali grew up playing saxophone and piano; she was introduced to music production and video editing while she was in high school and released her debut project Drunken Babble in 2012. Since then, Kali has gone on to release a 2015 EP, Por Vida, and her debut album, Isolation, in 2018.
