Produced by J Gramm Beats
Intro: Jerry Seinfeld & Elaine Benes

I guess maybe some little problems could arise

There are always a few

If anything happened and we couldn't be friends the way we are now, that would really be bad

Devastating

Because this is very good

And that would be good

That would be good too, the idea is to combine this and that

Verse 1: Wale

Tryna keep it low

Keep 'em all on that need to know

Tell everybody that we're just friends

But to be honest that platonic shit's for TV shows

Same place, we're with different folks

Case closed if they crack the code

Is it me, or is you cold?

Cause the feelings you ain't showin' pokin' out your clothes

Go put a sweater on or get a room

Forbidden fruit, swimmin' in your juice

Lot of ways I can get to you

But my train of thought is tryna get you out your ch-ch-choo

Pre-Chorus: Wale

Still we keep it low

Keep 'em all on that need to know

Could somebody tell somebody

I'm somebody and I'm sorry but somebody gon' need to go

Work

Chorus: SZA

I'm not tryna pressure you

Just can't stop thinkin' 'bout you

You ain't even really gotta be my boyfriend

I just wanna know your name

And maybe some time, we can hook up

We can hang out, we can just chill

Verse 2: Wale

Tryna keep it low

Keep 'em all on that need to know

Tell 'em all that we're just cool

As far as me and you, we got a simple code

Spendin' nights, well that's optional

No telephones in the afternoon

I know that overthinkin' only leads to subtweetin'

Every time your ass in the mood

Sharin' thoughts when we share a room

Though we barely talk when we share a room

In the dark, still see your curves

Body like what, swear to God you're a miracle

Pre-Chorus: Wale

Still we keep it low

Keep 'em all on that need to know

Could somebody tell somebody

I'm somebody and I'm sorry but somebody gon' need to go

Chorus: SZA

I'm not tryna pressure you

Just can't stop thinkin' 'bout you

You ain't even really gotta be my boyfriend

I just wanna know your name

And maybe some time, we can hook up

We can hang out, we can just chill

Interlude: Jerry Seinfeld & Elaine Benes

I mean let's say, what if we did?

What if?

Is that like the end of the world or something?

Certainly not!

Why shouldn't we be able to do that once in a while if we want to?

I know!

I mean really, what is the big deal? We go in there, we're in there for a while and then we come back out here. It's not complicated

It's almost stupid if we didn't!

It's moronic

Absurd!

Chorus: SZA

I'm not tryna pressure you

Just can't stop thinkin' 'bout you

You ain't even really gotta be my boyfriend

I just wanna know your name

And maybe some time, we can hook up

We can hang out, we can just chill
