You Don't Know

(album: Not Waving, But Drowning - 2019)

[Kiko Bun:]
You don't know, what I'm looking for
You don't know oh, what I'm looking for
You don't know, what I'm looking for
You don't know oh, what I'm looking for

[Loyle Carner:]
Uh, it all started when you were year above
Uh, before I had a fear of love
Before, back when I adore, but now I'm fearing of
Before every other fella I was hearing of
Back when the day would fade to grey when you were clearing off
'Cause now I only make love if I'm in love
You wasn't in love, then what d'you think, love?
Thinking I'ma hold you on the brink until we sink
Fade like a barber, rather have another drink
Love, I'll drink up and disappear, 'cause honestly you don't need me here
It's like you need it, can't defeat the fear
But now I see it, can't believe, but I read it clear
Play me like an arse, I won't spend another evening here
Deep, the evening clears, drowning and stuck
Just know you clouded my guts, going down on his luck
But now I sit in a hurry, worried nuts that I bust
Knowing you only went down to f-, so what the fuck is up?

[Kiko Bun:]
You don't know, what I'm looking for
You don't know oh, what I'm looking for
You don't know, what I'm looking for
You don't know oh, what I'm looking for

[Rebel Kleff:]
Uh, check, look
I know this shit sounds philosophical, with borderline ironic, but this topic's very logical
Whether it's a blessing or a mother fucking obstacle that breaks apart and leaves the broken hearted to the hospital
Powerful devotion for some, when I was young
Lack of any kind of emotion, had me hopeless and numb
Back when I was dumb, I was never running my gums
Just always running from webs that I spun, stress weighing a ton
Weight was more than I was able to bear, 'cause in my mind it's mad fruity to be labelled a pear
But blatantly scared, escaping any fragrant affair
That was my duty, always threw me into times of despair
Writing rhymes to try describe the many times that I care
'Cause honestly, to put it properly, I'm underprepared
And who am I to play the castaway? I've got a bigger part to play
So, when they ask me, it ain't hard to say, uh

[Kiko Bun:]
You don't know, what I'm looking for
You don't know oh, what I'm looking for
You don't know, what I'm looking for
You don't know oh, what I'm looking for

[Loyle Carner:]
Uh, uh, so why you crying?
Stop the crying, I weren't crying on you
Stop the lying, worry 'bout them brothers lying on you
They're sliding on you, bump 'n grind every night up on you
Getting sly up on you, cry up on you, then get tired of you
Bawling 'cause I ain't on you, what the fuck you mean
Uh, closest to trust I ever seen
Well shit, well there, I said it now, forget it like a dream
No regret, can't forget the shit you seen, shoulda kept it clean
Uh, you shoulda kept it clean
Can't forget the shit you seen, you shoulda kept it clean
Trust, uh, you shoulda kept it clean
No regret, can't forget the shit you seen, shoulda kept it clean
Uh, you shoulda kept it clean
Uh uh, you shoulda kept it clean
Uh, you shoulda kept it clean
Uh, 'nah mean?

[Kiko Bun:]
You don't know, what I'm looking for
You don't know oh, what I'm looking for
You don't know, what I'm looking for
You don't know oh, what I'm looking for

Mmm, you don't know what I'm looking for
No no no no no, ooo
You don't know, what I'm looking for
No, oh oh oh, mmm
