When We Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jerreau]
Since I got you mad if we had problems
And every wintertime, we try and solve 'em
Summertime, we break up until Autumn
Sorry Mr. Houston, me and your daughter got problems

’Cause we fight, we make up, just to break up
After she cry, she re-apply ma-makeup
Then we name call, we break up just to make up
My therapist said this can't be healthy for us
And I know all is fair in love and war
But I don't wanna go to war, my love, me want peace
So peace, I chuck up a deuce, I am gone
I am gone with the wind
And when, it’s all said and done
I understand why they say never say never
I said I'd never hurt you
Shoulda never said never
I said I love you but my actions don't show it
I made a mistake, yeah me sorry, and me own it

[Verse 2: Iyeball]
The first time I seen her I was cruising down the highway
She had her turn signal on, merging up in my lane
Pretty brown skin, black C-Class
So I sped my whip up, I couldn't let her get past
No-now fast forward, relationship 'bout over
She said that my music is way more important than her
Well I'm sorry, she don't accept my apologies
Not my apologies, but my piles of Gs

She want time so I put it on a platter
She threw the watch at me and the bezel got shattered
Well, nothing lost, 'cause I’ll claim it on my taxes
I’m business minded, but my priorities are backwards

[Verse 3: Jerreau]
'Cause we go back like curfews in high school
That’s homecomings, icebreakers, and dorm rooms

I just want my baby back (back), like she never left
Like she never made mistakes, like she was perfect
Man she was perfect, she was my better half
Would make me cry, could very well make me laugh
My homies say I'm sprung, that very well may be
What you expect? I got 5 years on it, G
She know me better than me
It's true I wanna make it work
Yeah rap is cool
But it's you I wanna see when I come home from work
Now let’s fly or die
Let's sink or swim
I'll crash and burn
I guess it all depends
And because I love you
I have to let you go
And if it's real, she'll come back
I'm signing off, bankroll

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 [?]
