  • Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
    La-la-la

    Love when it comes without a warnin'
    'Cause waitin' for it gets so borin'
    A lot can change in twenty seconds
    A lot can happen in the dark
    Love when it makes you lose your bearings
    Some information's not for sharing
    Use different names at hotel check-ins
    It's hard to stop it once it starts
    It starts

    I'm not sentimental
    But there's somethin' 'bout the way you look tonight, mm
    Makes me wanna take a picture
    Make a movie with you that we'd have to hide

    You better lock your phone
    And look at me when you're alone
    Won't take a lot to get you goin'
    I'm sorry if it's torture though
    I know, I know

    It might be more of an obsession
    You really make a strong impression
    Nobody saw me in the lobby (saw me in the lobby)
    Nobody saw me in your arms, mm

    I'm not sentimental
    But there's somethin' 'bout the way you look tonight
    ('Bout the way you look tonight) mm
    Makes me wanna make 'em jealous
    I'm the only one who does it how you like
    (Only one who does it how you)

    You better lock your phone
    And look at me when you're alone (you're alone, you're alone)
    Won't take a lot to get you goin' (get me goin', get me goin')
    I'm sorry if it's torture though (torture though)
    I know, I know
    You better lock your door
    And look at me a little more
    We both know I'm worth waitin' for (waitin' for)
    That heavy breathin' on the floor (on the floor)
    I'm yours, I'm yours (I'm yours)

    I'm not sentimental
    I'm not sentimental
    I'm not sentimental Writer/s: Billie Eilish O'Connell, Finneas Baird O'Connell

  • Piper from Portland Orlove the personal feelings associated with billie bossa nova, her whispering eye sings in public and shouts lyrics to the world about strength, vinegar, muscle control; the drummer is playing in 7/8 time which itself is a miracle in todays influence, yet BE sings the words we pronounce on a daily basis and on pitch. Amazing, beautiful,
