Around My Neck

(album: Optimist - 2021)

Hate waking up
In an empty bed
I'm only capable of
Looking through my pictures of you
Got nothing better to do

Call all you want
I'll never let it ring
I'm in the best restaurant
Haven't had a bite of the food
I only wanna eat you

I don't really like to brag about it
But it's true

Nobody does it like you do
Nothing beats being under you
Marks on my back, I wonder who
Would understand what I go through
Got your hands around my neck
Mama, keep it in check
What do you want done to you?

I don't believe
In forcing conversations
Honest, I'd rather be
In your heavy rotation
Than a guest list, paper wrist
Story that you tell to your friends

I don't remember how it started
But I think I'm pretty sure I know how tonight will end

Nobody does it like you do
Nothing beats being under you
Marks on my back, I wonder who
Would understand what I go through
Got your hands around my neck
Mama, keep it in check
What do you want done to you?

I'll take that tension off your shoulders
Teach me a lesson, take me over
No, I don't really like to brag about it
But it's true

Nobody does it like you do
Like you do
Marks on my back, I wonder who
Would understand what I go through
Got your hands around my neck
Mama, keep it in check
What do you want done to you?
