  • Care about no history
    I just wanna go and raise a family with you
    Raise 'em true, raise 'em properly
    (I'm built for cover do it built for speed)[?]
    And I wanna go fast so gimme what I need now
    I bet you hear that all the time
    I've been watchin' you sit in bed
    And I wanna hold you near

    Words are clever
    Hands are better
    So let's put them together
    Do you want what I got
    'Cause I need your company
    If you doubt a thing that I say
    Anytime you play your games on me

    I'm gonna get you those precious things
    Like old brand whiskey and chicken wings
    See that's a promise I can keep

    I like cashmere, I like your sweater
    But if you take it off we'll both feel better
    You know I'll help you happily

    If these lights are low enough
    No one's gonna see you go

    Words are clever
    Hands are better
    So let's put them together
    Do you want what I got
    'Cause I need your company
    If you doubt a thing that I say
    Anytime you're playin' your games on me

    There's only so much I can say
    To convince you

    No words that have their place
    Not in a bedroom
    Said I don't care if you go.
    Well, that's a lie, cause I do.

    Words are clever
    Hands are better
    So let's put them together
    Do you want what I got
    'Cause I need your company
    If you doubt a thing that I say
    Anytime you're playin' your games on me

    Words are clever
    Hands are better
    So let's put them together
    Do you want what I got
    'Cause I need your company
    If you doubt a thing that I say
    Anytime you're playin' your games on me Writer/s: ALEX CLARE, FRANCIS EG WHITE
