Shifted Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I listen to what my mama said, yeah
Always  been down for a challenge since, yeah
He  said it's all 'bout the balance
When you're talkin' love and the drama
You just can't let it control your life, nah

[Pre-Chorus]
Took  it all to heart and now I'm here with you
Twist  my body, trippin', jumpin' through your hoops
Know I go full crazy, but I'm tired too
I  just can't let it control my life, nah

[Chorus]
Yeah, keep me guessin', think you're pullin' me in
I'm not feelin' your love, done puttin' in work (Yeah)
Sick of waitin', yeah, I'm sick of waitin'
When  you're shifting your love, done puttin' in work (Yeah)
I'm done, done, I'm done, done puttin' in work
Yeah, I'm done, done, I'm done, done puttin' in work
Yeah, you keep me guessin', think you're pullin' me in
I'm not feelin' your love, done puttin' in work (Yeah)


[Verse 2]
My mama was full of shit, what?
Or did I miss the whole point of it? No

I don't need your validation
It's just the physical pleasure
I just can't let it control my life, nah

[Pre-Chorus]
Took it all to heart and now I'm here with you
Twist my body, trippin', jumpin' through your hoops
Know I go full crazy, but I'm tired too
I just can't let it control my life, nah

[Chorus]
Yeah, keep me guessin', think you're pullin' me in
I'm not feelin' your love, done puttin' in work (Yeah)
Sick of waitin', yeah, I'm sick of waitin'
When you're shifting your love, done puttin' in work (Yeah)
I'm done, done, I'm done, done puttin' in work
Yeah, I'm done, done, I'm done, done puttin' in work
Yeah, you keep me guessin', think you're pullin' me in
I'm not feelin' your love, done puttin' in work (Yeah)

[Bridge]
Still hangin' on, but the heat's dyin' down
I'm sick of grindin' you all over town
Like what you did to me there for a while
I just can't let it control my life, no

[Chorus]
Yeah, keep me guessin', think you're pullin' me in
I'm not feelin' your love, done puttin' in work (Yeah)
Sick of waitin', yeah, I'm sick of waitin'
When you're shifting your love, done puttin' in work (Yeah)
I'm done, done, I'm done, done puttin' in work
Yeah, I'm done, done, I'm done, done puttin' in work
Yeah, you keep me guessin', think you're pullin' me in
I'm not feelin' your love, done puttin' in work (Yeah)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
