lyrics

I became a part of you then
Driving hands-free
Had me losing all my manners for you

Thought it wouldn't bother you then
Done deal, too sweet
Was erasing all my power for you
('Cause I'm devoted to you)


Give me a taste, slick and deranged
Wasted like a flower
Stuck in your way, bit off my tail
Love sex money power, tamed
('Cause I'm devoted to you)

Molasses how I slalom
Traffic getting heavy
Can you rearrange me
Drill me down?
('Cause I'm devoted to you)


I became a part of you then
Driving hands-free
Had me losing all my manners for you
('Cause I'm devoted to you)

Thought it wouldn't bother you then
Done deal, too sweet
Was erasing all my power for you


God, I'm devoted
But I really fucking want to fight
Give it to me how I want it
Now I got it coming, right? Yeah
(Now I got it coming, right)

I'm splitting at the seams
Lick up where it oozes out
Messed up your routine
Told you I won't do you right, yeah
(Told you I won't do you right, yeah)


I'm devoted, I'm not afraid of you
Yet I'm stuck with you
Devoted to you
I'm stuck with you
