  • (Damn nigga damn, took a chance on ya, double and dipped again)
    Go!
    You could do your dance
    Take a chance with your lover like this began!
    Sing

    I want somebody who can take it apart
    Stitch me back together make me into who I wanna be
    But all you ever do is sit in the dark
    Dealing with the Devil, you ain't never ever gonna be mine

    'Cause I'm born to dance in the moonlight
    I feel like spending my nights alone
    I try to give you a little more space to grow
    White lies, I don't wanna be around anymore
    I'm through giving, I've got to go

    Am I chasing time?
    'Cause I wasted all mine on you (you)
    Am I chasing time? (time)
    'Cause I wasted all mine on you (you)

    Check my watch, I had the future in my pocket
    But I lost it when I gave it to you (you)
    If tomorrow drops, I had my time right in my locket
    But I lost it when I gave it to you (you)

    Damn, nigga, damn
    Took a chance on you, double and dipped again
    And, scram, nigga, scram
    Hit your mans up and tell 'em to get the van
    And reminiscing can't
    Bring it back to the cabin in Michigan
    But man, this the plan
    Say goodbye to your lover cause this the end

    'Cause I'm born to dance in the moonlight
    I feel like spending my nights alone
    I try to give you a little more space to grow
    White lies, I don't wanna be around anymore
    I'm through giving, I've got to go

    Am I chasing time?
    'Cause I wasted all mine on you (you)
    Am I chasing time? (time)
    Cause I wasted all mine on you (you)

    Check my watch, I had the future in my pocket
    But I lost it when I gave it to you (you)
    If tomorrow drops, I had my time right in my locket
    But I lost it when I gave it to you (you)

    Yo, get lost hit the highway, freeway
    We've been off-course like the wrong-way relay
    Need me a boss, you're a constant delay
    These the kinda thoughts I've been having for three days
    Feel like you're more of a homie
    Please, you don't even know me
    You think I'm starting new relations
    I'm just departing and need my space and
    Time to myself, ventilation
    No time for you, I lack the patience
    And you're like, "Girl, how you do that?"
    My attitude is bitchy but you already knew that
    And since we can't get along
    I think we should both move on
    (Go!)

    'Cause I'm born to dance in the moonlight
    I feel like spending my nights alone
    I try to give you a little more space to grow
    White lies, I don't wanna be around anymore
    I'm through giving, I've got to go

    Am I chasing time?
    'Cause I wasted all mine on you (you)
    Am I chasing time? (time)
    'Cause I wasted all mine on you (you)

    Check my watch, I had the future in my pocket
    But I lost it when I gave it to you (you)
    If tomorrow drops, I had my time right in my locket
    But I lost it when I gave it to you (you) Writer/s: Andrew Wansel, Azealia Banks, Jonathan Harris, Kelly Sheehan, Ronald Tyler Colson, Steve Mostyn, Warren Felder
