Jack and Jack - Shallow Love lyrics

rate me

(Intro)

Is a shallow luv fo' real?

(Verse)

Everywhere I go, I see luv turn into somethin' it's not

People caught up in the image, when's this shit gon' stop?

When he gets down on his knee and that question gets popped

She's like, 'Yes, babe!' Eyes still locked at the rock

He's got bands, he wants a pretty lady who wants a Mercedes-Benz

So they can both show off to their friends

They're in the whip, they're in the penthouse and they're in the jet to France

Damn, it seems like luv's the only thing that they ain't in

Divin' in headfirst into sum' shallow waters

I'm just touchin' on a subject that I feel is kinda catastrophic

I'm not sayin' every couple with money's got this problem

But in sum' cases without the label, she'd be straight up robbin'

Takin' vows to the coffin on the wedding day

Ain't no prenupt needed, she convinced him it's true

Perfectly curved, believin' every word that she spewed

Was blinded by the beauty, can't see through

(Chorus)

Is this shallow luv?

Or is it sumething real?

Ya make it hard to deal

Not knowin' if this is shallow luv

The way we live so well

Can make it so hard to tell

What ya in it fo'?

What ya really in it fo'?

(Verse 2)

So girl tell me what ya in it fo'

Cuz I'm young and livin' like a centerfold?

Is it cuz I'm takin' ya places that ya ain't been befo'?

By the looks of it this luv is too fake, we might as well just call the dentist, yo

Ya see why I'm trippin' though?

Cuz man if shit's like this now

Then what's it gon' be like when we get to the pinnacle?

And I suppose only time's gon' tell

But as of now, we're doin' fine, no help

Girl you're a piece of work that God designed so well

But ya don't need to check the worth befo' ya ride with me

Put that man aside if he's all about bein' with sumeone just to get inside

Or if he's hopin' and prayin' that ya gon' stay when he gets caught

When he slips up, fightin', pullin' all sorts and types of straws

Now the jig's up, left broken in pieces like a jigsaw

But that's just how shit goes

When ya let the shallow luv get hope

Girl I just want to know

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Nowadays these girls be so ruthless

Two am, knockin' on my front door, who's this?

Girl I don't even know yo name

This ain't the time yo

Oh my God, this is so insane

Like I ain't even got yo number saved in my iPhone

(Chorus)
