[Verse 1]
Does your heart skip a beat when he kisses you, baby?
Yeah, I just gotta know for my peace of mind
Staying up all night 'cause it's driving me crazy
Tell me yes or no, either way, I'm fine

[Pre-Chorus]
Last time we talked, said you'd never been better
That's what you said, though, when we were together
Mine in July, but you're his in December

[Chorus]
I guess I was your gateway love
I didn't get you high enough
Kinda like an eighth grade crush that never lasts
Are you on that heavy stuff?
Tell me, did you find the one, find the one I thought I was?
But now I know that I was just your gateway love, baby
Yeah, I was your gateway love, baby

[Verse 2]
Was I just one piece of the puzzle you played?
Did you have your eye on a different prize?
Was it just another number on a whole other waitlist?
I knew it had to end, but it was sublime

[Pre-Chorus]
Last time we talked, said you'd never been better
That's what you said, though, when we were together
Mine in July, but you're his in December

[Chorus]
I guess I was your gateway love
I didn't get you high enough
Kinda like an eighth grade crush that never lasts
Are you on that heavy stuff?
Tell me, did you find the one, find the one I thought I was?
But now I know that I was just your gateway love, baby
Yeah, I was your gateway love, baby
Yeah, I was your gateway love, baby
Yeah, I was your gateway love, baby

[Bridge]
Does your heart skip a beat when he kisses you, baby?
'Cause I just gotta know for my peace of mind

[Chorus]
I guess I was your gateway love
I didn't get you high enough
Kinda like an eighth grade crush that never lasts
Are you on that heavy stuff?
Tell me, did you find the one, find the one I thought I was?
But now I know that I was just your gateway love, baby
Yeah, I was your gateway love, baby
Yeah, I was your gateway love, baby
Nothing but your gateway love, baby
