Lyrics

I wrote a love song

The speaker expresses the act of creating a love song.

'Cause you're so loveable

The reason for writing the love song is the lovable nature of the person being addressed.

I carried a watermelon

A reference to the movie "Dirty Dancing" where carrying a watermelon is an awkward but memorable moment. It suggests vulnerability.

I wanna be vulnerable

The speaker desires to be vulnerable in the relationship.


I will not go to bars

The speaker avoids typical social settings like bars and risky situations.

Or jump in strangers' cars

A commitment to avoiding potentially dangerous situations.

Her mind's sweet, for wines, aligns, aligns, aligns, aligns

Describing the partner's mind as sweet, with a repetition emphasizing alignment and connection.

It's not about the sex and sex and sex and sex and sex and sex

Emphasizing that the relationship is not solely about physical intimacy.

I wanna be your best ever friend forever

Expressing a desire to be the best and everlasting friend to the partner.

Best friend

Reiteration of the desire to be the best friend.
