reptile Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Way down to the bone, I feel
Cold blood, I got reptile skin
At first, it was never like this
I was warm like the sun, you could feel my soul
Ooh, girl, have you seen my friends? Uh
Can you tell me where everyone's been? Uh
Oh well, gotta keep my chin up
Oh, that's what they said, oh, now I'm gettin' fed up

[Chorus]
I keep a lover by my side
'Cause I don't wanna lose my head
I don't ever like to say bye
But I'm not one to stay in bed
I keep a lover by my side
I don't ever wanna lose my mind
And they tell me that I ain't nice
Talkin' at me like I never been, uh

[Verse 2]
Darlin', I know
What it's like to be alone, my dear, I swear
It's to the point where I don't
Know if you don't see me or just don't have no fucking care
See, I just yearn for affection, I don't care for your complexion
Just let me hold you, girl
You know I love your hair texture and you tell me you love mine
So treat me like it's true, girl
Time and time again, I'm on my knees
I don't know how much blood I have left to bleed, baby
Why don't you stay with me?
You don't know just how much your love means to me, baby
[Bridge]
Maybe I'm crazy for you
But at least I don't leave like you do
Maybe I'm crazy for you
But at least I don't leave like you do

[Chorus]
I keep a lover by my side
'Cause I don't wanna lose my head
I don't ever like to say bye
But I'm not one to stay in bed
I keep a lover by my side
I don't ever wanna lose my mind
And they tell me that I ain't nice
Talkin' at me like I never been, uh

[Outro]
Deep in love, I've been
Deep in frustration, darling
Be my lover, I can
Show you everything that I've learned
All of my scars and all of my burns
All of my headaches they told me I have earned
(Ooh)
Yeah
Yeah, wait

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 [?]
