Lyrics
Yeah
Oh no, no, yeah

I know the secret we share
Look what this feeling has done to me
There's something deep in the air
Just hope your hands lift me comfortably, oh

I don't know why but every time I see you smiling
I'm tired of running, tired of playing, tired of hiding
If we could be together, would that make you happy?
And if it wouldn't, tell your girlfriend to get at me
(I'm just playing, though)

Love don't really happen (hey, oh)
Love don't really happen (oh, oh, oh, ohh)

I think there's something for us
Lying around as the world comes down
If you understand what I'm saying
You won't end up in the lost and found, nope, uh

I don't know why but every time I see you dancing (I see you dancing)
I'm tired of running, tired of playing late romancing (I don't want to)
If we could be together, would that make you happy? (I don't fuck with that)
And if it wouldn't, tell your girlfriend to get at me

Love don't really happen (woo)
Love don't really happen (yeah, oh, oh, oh)
Love don't really happen (if you need someone, if you hurt someone)
Love don't really happen (oh)

Now why can't every day be like this (yeah)
Smoke a J at the beach like this (uh)
Hang with bae at the beach like this (ooh)
Conversations with Kish like this (hey)
Never thought it could be like this (oh)
Be the man like I am like this (uh)
Dance around, shake your hips like this (ooh)
Mess around make a hit like this (woo)

Like this (like this, like this)
Like this, no (like this)
Always be like this, no (like this, like this)
(Like this) like this
(Like this, like this) like this
(Like this, like this)
Like this, no (like this)
Always be like this, no (like this, like this, like this)
Like this (like this)
Always be like this (like this, like this)
(Like this, like this)
Like this (like this, like this)
Like this (like this, like this)
Like this (like this, like this, like this yeah)
