[Part I: XO]

[Verse 1]
Shots of the Henny, bottles of Patrón
Blunts to your face, you don't wanna sing no more, lost your C notes
Cabbed all day, took the bus back home
Evictions on your door, blame it on the weed, blame it on the booze
Blame it on the night life, light's passin' you, yeah
Just don't blame it on me, that you wanna come and party
With a nigga like me, 'cause I get it
You're built like a Goddess
And it seems like you been stressin'
'Specially when your nose red
From that K, special Diet Coke
You need more bread, ‎now you got no rent
You blow that money, money
You try to window shop, you blow another hundred
She's fuckin' goons in the day
Hipster nights downtown and your daddy don't know you're out

[Bridge]
If they don't let you in
You know where to find me
'Cause if you wanna go again
You can always call me
'Cause all we ever do is love
Open up your mind, you can find the love
Girl, you ain't alone
We all been alone
Baby, just be honest

[Chorus]
(XO) Woo, don't you forget
(XO) Don't you worry 'bout a thing
(XO) We'll be everything you need, just believe
(XO) Yeah, (XO) yeah, whoa

[Verse 2]
I love it when your eyes are red, oh, yeah
Are you on my cloud yet?
'Cause I got a brand new cam, can we video feed, can we POV?
Why? I wanna catch you at your best
When your hair's a mess
You look so depressed
And you're filled with regret
And you feel like you gotta go home, oh
'Cause these nights pass, so much quicker than the days did
Same clothes, you ain't ready for your day shift
But you up, you need money for ya' face lift
Lust over love is your mindset
Waken up with most of your side wet
Another room, you hear your mom cryin'
Cause she found your bag stuffed in the laundry
And the Bacardi from the last party

[Bridge]
If they won't let you in
You know where to find me, oh
And if you wanna go again
You can always call me
'Cause all we ever do is love
Open up your mind you can find the love
Girl you ain't alone, we all been alone
Baby just be honest

[Chorus]
(XO) Ohh, don't you forget
(XO) No, no, don't you worry 'bout a thing
(XO) We'll be everything you need, just believe, yeah
(XO) Yeah, (XO) ooh, whoa

[Part II: The Host]

[Breakdown]
I need, I need something from you
Oh, there's so much love to pass around
There's too much love
Girl, the night's almost done
And who you came with is already gone
You said you want me
But I remember who you are
And girl, it wasn't long ago
Didn't think I'd go this far

[Outro]
Well, I got a test for you
You said you want my heart
Well, baby you can have it all
There's just something that I
Need from you is to meet my boys
I got a lot of boys
And we can make you right
And if you get too high
Baby, come over here and ride it out
Oh, oh, oh yeah
Ride it out
Oh, oh, whoa yeah
Ride it out
Ride it out
Just ride it

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.
