Midnight Hour Lyrics
I did my best, wasn't good for you
I was the best for both of you
Family and friends, they are close to you
Damn, it's so hard to get over you
[Pre-Chorus: Ty Dolla $ign]
Late in the midnight hour
You made the worst decisions
I was always there to listen
But this time
[Chorus]
Let me talk
Work, work
Let me talk
Work, work
I love it when they try to get
[Verse 2: Ty Dolla $ign]
Tried to prove myself to you baby
I been stayin' down, waiting patient
Taking me through all of your phases
How you trade it all, trading places
[Pre-Chorus: Ty Dolla $ign]
Late in the midnight hour
You made the worst decisions
I was always there to listen
Not this time
Let me talk
I bet your lil' sister wanna look like me
I bet your lil' brother wanna **** on me
Hood, hood
Let me talk like
And it's like
I bet your lil' sister wanna look like me
I bet your lil' brother wanna **** on
I love it when they try to get
Let me talk like
I bet your lil' s— wanna look like me
I bet your lil' b— wanna **** on me
Let me talk like
And it's like
I bet your lil' s— wanna look like me
I bet your lil' b— wanna **** on me
I love it when they try to get
[Verse 3: Ty Dolla $ign]
Feel like the best in America
Don't make me have to embarrass you
Run with me, she like a marathon
Just love me down all the way home
Come with no drama, ain't ever been wrong
I know you ain’t putting me in the friend zone
Might touch down I’m in the end zone
Bust down on my wrist though
Late in the midnight hours
You made the worst decisions
I was playing my position
You kept missing
Late in the midnight hours
You made the worst decisions
I was always there to listen
[Chorus: City Girls]
Let me talk
I bet your lil' sister wanna look like me
I bet your lil' brother wanna **** on me
Hood, hood
Let me talk like
And it's like
I bet your lil' sister wanna look like me
I bet your lil' brother wanna **** on
I love it when they try to get
Let me talk like
I bet your lil' s— wanna look like me
I bet your lil' b— wanna **** on me
Hood, hood
Let me talk like
And it's like
I bet your lil' s— wanna look like me
I bet your lil' b— wanna **** on me
I love it when they try to get
