[Chorus: Kehlani]
I'm down for you, I'm down for you, oh
I'm down for you, I'm down for you, oh
I'm down for you, I'm down for you, oh
I'm down for you, I'm down for you

[Verse 1: Kehlani]
Best friends and lovers
Can't seem to draw the line between each other
What is defined means nothing to a brother
You just don't give a damn, that's why I think I love ya
It's not fair, how easy I melt when you play with my hair
I ain't going nowhere, it's not right
I can't sleep without you anymore at night time
Not in this lifetime

[Pre-Chorus: Kehlani]
Love ain't never been so close, but so far away
Like your mind is telling you to just back off
And your heart says just stay
What's a love that doesn't keep you up all night and all day
If it's not too late, yeah, you realise it one day

[Chorus: Kehlani]
I'm down for you, I'm down for you, oh
I'm down for you, I'm down for you, oh
I'm down for you, I'm down for you, oh
I'm down for you, I'm down for you

[Verse 2: Kehlani & BJ the Chicago Kid]
We can go to the movies boy, maybe we could hang out boy
Whatever you wanna do, cause I'm down for it
I'm down for you
And when I'm ready baby
Maybe it won't be too late (Won't be too late)
Maybe one day you find some guy (One day, one day)
That won't treat you like I will

[Pre-Chorus: Kehlani with BJ the Chicago Kid]
Love ain't never been so close, but so far away
Like your mind is telling you to just back off
And your heart says just stay
What's a love that doesn't keep you up all night and all day
If it's not too late, yeah, you realise it one day

[Chorus: Kehlani]
I'm down for you, I'm down for you, oh
I'm down for you, I'm down for you, oh
I'm down for you, I'm down for you, oh
I'm down for you, I'm down for you

Oakland R&B singer Kehlani Parrish, better known as just Kehlani, first found fame on America’s Got Talent in 2011. Her group Poplyfe reached the final, losing to Landau Murphy.

Kehlani left Poplyfe after the show, but her solo career stalled for contractual reasons. She finally released her début solo project, Cloud 19, in 2014. A breezy, poppy mixtape, Cloud 19 flew largely under the radar, although Complex described it as “outstanding.”

2015 was Kehlani’s break-out year. Her sophomore mixtape, You Should Be Here, featured Chance The Rapper and BJ The Chicago Kid. It earned her national attention and even a Grammy nomination for Best Urban Contemporary, although it ultimately lost out to Beauty Behind the Madness by The Weeknd.
