[Verse 1: Tyler, The Creator] I never would've thought that Feelings could get thrown in the air Cause I accidentally caught that I need some new boxing gloves, sh#t got hectic whenever I fought back For example, ten minutes can't go past without you brushing my thoughts That's fourteen forty a day so I'll say a hundred and forty four times I think about you or something like that Lost match, the f###ing thought of you with somebody else I don't like that; cellular convos getting left in the wrong Cause I get so f###ing mad when you don't write back This isn't a song, I just happen to rhyme when I get emo And find time to write facts (f##k) I love you Can we add some more color, um, like, some more, yellow Yeah, that's good [Hook: Tyler, The Creator] I f###ing hate you But I love you I'm bad at keeping my emotions bubbled You're good at being perfect We're good at being troubled, yeah I f###ing hate you But I love you I'm bad at keeping my emotions bubbled You're good at being perfect We're good at being troubled, yeah
