[Verse 1: Alina Baraz]
One thing you won't ever see
Is a rose without a thorn
Life ain't like the movie scenes
What's love without a flaw?
If only I knew
Would it have led me to you?
Patience and communication
I'm still learning those
Took a couple heartbreaks and some tears for me to grow
And now that I grew
I'm finally ready for you

[Chorus: Alina Baraz]
Take our time with this one
Let's just stand and not fall in love
You can't win 'til you lose
I didn't know love
'Til I met you
'Til I met you

[Post-Chorus: Alina Baraz]
Let me be your peace of mind at night when we're alone
Just know you can talk to me when you're feelin' vulnerable
Can you promise (Can you promise me, babe)
Through every sun and moon that you'll be honest?

[Verse 2: Nas]
I was just focusin', takin' some time to escape
Appreciatin' how they make wine from grapes
What is it 'bout Cuban cigars?
Is it the taste?
Should go to France and cop Venice bottles by the case
I just had a discussion
'Bout some woman's philandering husband
She love him
Do marriages last anymore is the question?
'Cause I done went down the line with many women who fine
Gave 'em Bags of Vuitton
Peek-a-boo Fendi too
There's unspeakable things they do
Sneakin' with other dudes
Lost your sweetness, you be freakin'
It's me that you accuse
Why?
And I'm getting too old for this, this is loneliness
Homebody needin' someone to kiss and light the OG with
And to chill and listen to oldies with
In raw silk 'cause that's just a cozy fit
I swear my life is gettin' stressful
It wasn't special 'til I met you

[Chorus: Alina Baraz & Nas]
Take our time with this one (Wasn't special 'til I met you)
Let's just stand and not fall in love
You can't win 'til you lose
(Yeah, Alina Baraz)
I didn't know love (Nas)
'Til I met you
'Til I met you
('Til I met you)
('Til I met you)

Alina Baraz

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Alina Baraz is a singer and Songwriter of Russian descent with R&B influences who is best known for her debut EP Urban Flora with electronic producer Galimatias.

In her youth she was a member of several choirs which ultimately inspired her to move to California at 19 in order to pursue her dream of becoming a singer. With her parents being from Russia, she was raised on classical music but also cites powerful vocalists such as Adele, Amy Winehouse and Corinne Bailey Rae as her inspirations.

She released her next project, The Color of You in April 2018 which consists of her signature R&B sound, along with a more progressive sound which manages to maintain her sultry style.
