[Intro]
Mmm… Mou matenai-yo...

[Verse 1]
Yeah, people always talk about the ones that got away
I just seem to get the ones that always want to stay
I'm just too distracted with the life I'm tryna paint
(Yeah, yeah, uh, oh yeah)
Say, I got all these women too attracted to the fame
Got too many niggas that will end up in the way
Nothing's gonna stop me, I'ma get it either way
(Yeah, yeah, uh, oh yeah)

[Pre-Chorus]
Why would you wanna take away from this moment?
We can own it
Why would you wanna take away from this moment?
Woo-hoo!

[Chorus]
You don't have to spend your life with me
You don't have to waste your energy
We can just be rockin', yeah
We can just be rockin', yeah
I just want your body next to me
'Cause it brings me so much ecstasy
We can just be rockin', yeah
We can just be rockin', yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
You see me texting, baby, you see those missed calls
I'm actin' reckless baby, I'm 'bout to lose it all
This liquor got me crazy, mixed with that Adderall
I'm focused on the beat, oh yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Why would you wanna take away from this moment?
We can own it
Why would you wanna take away from this moment?
Woo-hoo!

[Chorus]
You don't have to spend your life with me
You don't have to waste your energy
We can just be rockin', yeah
We can just be rockin', yeah (We can just be rockin')
I just want your body next to me
'Cause it brings me so much ecstasy
We can just be rockin', yeah
We can just be rockin', yeah (We can just be rockin', baby)
(Yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]
(Yeah, yeah)
(Why would you wanna take away from this moment?)
(We can own it)
(Why would you wanna take away from this moment?)
(Woo-hoo!) Let's go! Hey!

[Chorus]
You don't have to spend your life with me (You don't have to spend your life with me)
You don't have to waste your energy (You don't have to waste)
We can just be rockin', yeah (Oh, baby)
We can just be rockin', yeah (All you got to; need to know ooh)
I just want your body next to me (Hey!)
'Cause it brings me so much ecstasy
We can just be rockin', yeah
We can just be rockin', yeah (We can just be rockin' baby)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

The Weeknd

Abel Makkonen Tesfaye (born February 16, 1990 in Scarborough, Ontario), popularly known as The Weeknd, is an R&B/pop/hip-hop singer-songwriter and record producer from Toronto, Canada. He has been referred to as the songbird of his generation and the best musical talent since Michael Jackson throughout his career.

The Weeknd gained widespread critical acclaim for his three mixtapes, House of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes of Silence, which he later compiled to make a remastered, three-disc album titled Trilogy after signing his record deal with Republic. In 2013, he released Kiss Land, which was considered to be his debut studio album.

In 2014, he dropped “Often,” a remix of Beyonce’s “Drunk In Love,” and “King of the Fall.” The Weeknd released two songs in collaboration with the film Fifty Shades of Grey, with “Earned It” becoming his solo breakout hit.
