Asking 4 It
Asking 4 It Lyrics
I'm someone you love, making it clear, baby
(I'm someone you love, making it clear, baby)
But what if our love isn't in here, baby
(But what if our love isn't in here, baby)
Just scream out to Zoo, Zoovier is here
(Just scream out to Zoo, Zoovier is here)
I dare ya, dare ya, dare ya
[Verse 1: Gwen Stefani]
Oh why, why would, why would you wanna be
Why would you wanna be with someone like me?
Oh why, why would, why would you wanna live
Why would you wanna live so recklessly?
[Pre-Chorus: Gwen Stefani]
I don't know where I was, I was lost, I was nothing
The real version of me, I had never even seen
You're givin' me truth and it's such an unfamiliar subject
So, could you answer me please?
[Chorus: Gwen Stefani]
Are you sure you wanna love me?
Are you sure you wanna love me?
You're asking for it, you're asking for it
And I'm just saying, boy
You're asking for it, you're asking for it
Are you sure you wanna love me?
Are you sure you wanna love me?
You're asking for it, you're asking for it
And I'm just saying, boy
You're asking for it, you're asking for it
I dare ya, dare ya, dare ya
You're asking for it, you're asking for it
And I'm just saying, boy
You're asking for it, you're asking for it
I dare ya, dare ya, dare ya
You're asking for it, you're asking for it
And I'm just saying, boy
You're asking for it, you're asking for it
I dare ya, dare ya, dare ya
I, I know, I know that it's a lot
I know that it's a lot to handle me
But it, it is, but it is what it is
It's all a part of my broken history
[Pre-Chorus: Gwen Stefani]
I don't know where I was, I was lost, I was nothing
The real version of me, I had never even seen
You're givin' me truth and it's such an unfamiliar subject
So, could you answer me please?
[Chorus: Gwen Stefani & Fetty Wap]
Are you sure you wanna love me?
Are you sure you wanna love me?
You're asking for it, you're asking for it
And I'm just saying, boy
You're asking for it, you're asking for it
I dare ya, dare ya, dare ya
You're asking for it, you're asking for it
And I'm just saying, boy
You're asking for it, you're asking for it
I dare ya, dare ya, dare ya
You're asking for it, you're asking for it
And I'm just saying, boy
You're asking for it, you're asking for it (1738)
I dare ya, dare ya, dare ya (Zoovier)
I'm just icy, give you weapons and them bangers
Baby, I'm from the trap, I run the zoo, and I'm just askin'
Baby, I love your style, put you in Choos but not too flashy, ayy
It was days I had no car, you had to stash me
Baby, I promise you we always ain't gon' let you pass me
Pick a car, yeah, you pack your bags, we're livin' lavish
Come and stand with Zoovier Zoo, I can be your captain
Baby, let's fill the swimming pool with money
Make it splash in, yeah baby
I'm someone you love, making it clear, baby
But what if our love isn't in here, baby
Just scream out to Zoo, Zoovier is here
[Chorus: Gwen Stefani]
Are you sure you wanna love me?
Are you sure you wanna love me?
Are you sure you wanna love me?
I dare ya, dare ya, dare ya
You're asking for it, you're asking for it
And I'm just saying, boy
You're asking for it, you're asking for it
I dare ya, dare ya, dare ya
You're asking for it, you're asking for it
And I'm just saying, boy
You're asking for it, you're asking for it
I dare ya, dare ya, dare ya
