Technology Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you ever wonderin' where I am
Anchor to my own wonderland
These different time zones
How do I ever land by you
By you?
Yeah, all these days go by and feels like I'm countin' sand
I want you around me to fill up this emptiness
Girl, help me write the story with a happy endin' with you
(Oh, yeah) For you
[Chorus]
I want you close (Close), closer, baby
'Cause this long-distance ain't workin' for me (No)
Why do you have to be overseas?
'Cause this technology, you know it
[Post-Chorus]
It don't do it for me (Hey! Hey, yeah)
For me (No, it don't, hey! It don't)
It don't do it for me (Hey! No, it don't, hey!)
For me
(It don't do it, baby, no)
It don't do it for me (Yeah!)
[Refrain]
Baby, you know I'm in love
Your body, I got the answers (For me)
Why you teasin' me all the time?
('Cause it don't) It don't do it for me
Baby, you know I'm in love (Yeah)
Your body, I got the answers (For me)
(Oh, yeah)
It don't do it for me
If you ever wonderin' where I am
Anchor to my own wonderland
These different time zones
How do I ever land by you
By you?
Yeah, all these days go by and feels like I'm countin' sand
I want you around me to fill up this emptiness
Girl, help me write the story with a happy endin' with you
(Oh, yeah) For you
[Chorus]
I want you close (Close), closer, baby
'Cause this long-distance ain't workin' for me (No)
Why do you have to be overseas?
'Cause this technology, you know it
[Post-Chorus]
It don't do it for me (Hey! Hey, yeah)
For me (No, it don't, hey! It don't)
It don't do it for me (Hey! No, it don't, hey!)
For me
(It don't do it, baby, no)
It don't do it for me (Yeah!)
[Refrain]
Baby, you know I'm in love
Your body, I got the answers (For me)
Why you teasin' me all the time?
('Cause it don't) It don't do it for me
Baby, you know I'm in love (Yeah)
Your body, I got the answers (For me)
(Oh, yeah)
It don't do it for me
[Verse 2]
I've been drinkin' way too much
Time goes so slow, an orbit around the sun
Is there any chance you could fly to me?
To me, please?
Don't hang up your cell phone, don't give up on me
I'm tryna make this FaceTime last
Actin' like any time minutes ain't free
Oh-oh, I need you here with me, yeah
To write this song (Oh-oh), about you
[Chorus]
I want you close (Close), closer, baby
'Cause this long-distance ain't workin' for me (No, woah)
Why do you have (Have) to be overseas? (You have all this water)
'Cause this technology, you know it
[Post-Chorus]
It don't do it for me (Hey!)
It don't, it don't do it for me
It don't, it don't do it for me (Hey!)
It don't, it don't do it for me (Hey!)
(It don't do it baby, no)
It don't, it don't do it for me
[Verse 3]
Girl, I need all of your love
Sun down to sun up (Yeah, for me)
For me, oh, baby
It don't do it for me (It don't do it for me)
Give it here, give it here (Yeah)
Girl, I know you been waitin' (For me)
And you know that
It don't do it for me
I've been drinkin' way too much
Time goes so slow, an orbit around the sun
Is there any chance you could fly to me?
To me, please?
Don't hang up your cell phone, don't give up on me
I'm tryna make this FaceTime last
Actin' like any time minutes ain't free
Oh-oh, I need you here with me, yeah
To write this song (Oh-oh), about you
[Chorus]
I want you close (Close), closer, baby
'Cause this long-distance ain't workin' for me (No, woah)
Why do you have (Have) to be overseas? (You have all this water)
'Cause this technology, you know it
[Post-Chorus]
It don't do it for me (Hey!)
It don't, it don't do it for me
It don't, it don't do it for me (Hey!)
It don't, it don't do it for me (Hey!)
(It don't do it baby, no)
It don't, it don't do it for me
[Verse 3]
Girl, I need all of your love
Sun down to sun up (Yeah, for me)
For me, oh, baby
It don't do it for me (It don't do it for me)
Give it here, give it here (Yeah)
Girl, I know you been waitin' (For me)
And you know that
It don't do it for me
[Refrain]
Baby, you know I'm in love
Your body, I got the answers
Why you teasin' me all the time?
(For me)
Baby, you know I'm in love
Your body, I got the answers
Why you teasin' me all the time?
Baby, you know I'm in love
Your body, I got the answers
Why you teasin' me all the time?
(For me)
Baby, you know I'm in love
Your body, I got the answers
Why you teasin' me all the time?
