Enemy Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh-oh, oh-oh
So back, I'm so bad, I'm so bad

[Verse 1]
Can I be honest with you, please?
It's really hard for me to speak right now

Girl, I been drinkin' all day
It's been a long week, can't you tell by my face?
I wanna lose myself between your legs
I wanna make your body shake
Girl, if you drink this fifth, no chase
I promise you'll have nothing to say, nothing to say

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause the least I deserve is no conversation
I been working all week

I'd rather be your enemy
Than any friend you think I would be


[Chorus]
I'm just tryin' take you home without a word
And I'm just trying to kiss your neck without a word
Girl, I'm just trying to lay you down without a word
Girl, I'm just trying to get you high without a word
Girl, I'm just trying to make you numb without a word
Girl, I'm just trying to make you cum without a word

Girl, I'm just trying to make you sleep without a word
And I'm just trying to let you leave without a word
[Post-Chorus]
Please, please, please
Let me, let me, let me
Let me, get what I want this time
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah


[Verse 2]
I forgot what it feels to regret my sins
I need that old thing back lately

You can help me out baby
You remind me of a feeling that I used to have
So I don't know what to expect from you tonight
But I'm not trying to waste nobody's time
I'm just trying to find material, some inspiration
We can put it in a song, if you want

[Pre-Chorus]
But the least I deserve is no conversation
I been working all week

I'd rather be your enemy
Than any friend you think I would be, oh yeah


[Chorus]
I'm just tryin' take you home without a word
And I'm just trying to kiss your neck without a word
And I'm just trying to lay you down without a word
And I'm just trying to get you high without a word
And I'm just trying to make you numb without a word
And I'm just trying to make you cum without a word

And I'm just trying to make you sleep without a word
Girl, I'm just trying to let you leave without a word
Without a word
[Post-Chorus]
Please, please, please
Ooh, let me, let me, let me
Let me, get what I want this time

[Verse 3]
I'll never fall for a girl like you
I'll never understand what you're going through
But your body wild and your head game too
You lookin' at my nigga, you can have him too
'Cause baby, I ain't cuffing, girl, I hope you knew
There ain't nothin' wrong, you can pick and choose
Just don't call tomorrow askin' "What did I do?"
Girl, you know what you did, all to blame is you

[Pre-Chorus]
Now the least I deserve is no conversation
I been working all week

I'd rather be your enemy
Than any friend you think I would be


[Chorus]
I'm just tryin' take you home without a word
Girl, I'm just trying to kiss your neck without a word
Girl, I'm just trying to lay you down without a word
Girl, I'm just trying to get you high without a word
Girl, I'm just trying to make you numb without a word
Girl, I'm just trying to make you cum without a word

Girl, I'm just trying to make you sleep without a word
Girl, I'm just trying to let you leave without a word, without a word

Genius Annotation

In the first solo song The Weeknd released in 2012, Abel wants his argumentative girl to shut up for once and just let him have his way. He doesn’t want to be her friend and have a conversation with her right now. He just had a long ass week and needs a release.

Since the release of this song, The Weeknd has removed it from his official YouTube account. At this time there is no known reason for the deletion.
