Jookie - LA Single Lyrics

Saturday night, I'm gonna swipe right
Been drinking down these blues like some Bud Light
Girl from the other weekend let me hit it then she sent me on my way I shouldn't text her but I just might
I don't even give a f*ck, it's been years since I've been in love
Or felt anything for anyone, damn that's some real shit but I'm in the mood for something intimate
Something that doesn't end with "hey I'm not feeling it"
Bury myself in work emails, to forget all of my fails with females
So on the market like I work in retail
But no one f*cks with me like attention to detail
It's a lost art and I'm just straight up lost
Like the Angels in this city
I wonder if any of them would date me, anyways
I digress, back to the beat, back to this shit like ass to the seat
Took a few shots now it's back to the freak
Then I wake up next morning with my pants at my feet
Fell asleep with laptop porn on my couch
After getting cross faded and Ubering out
Stuck in my ways like I was born in the South
If you ain't f*cking with me I respect your decision

Caught up in my old ways
Got me missing my old bae
Life gets in the way, you know that I'll stay
LA Single
Masturbating getting so habitual
It's a passionless ritual, please save me I'm
LA Single

She's an East Coast transplant, lives up in WeHo
With Craigslist roommates who might be actual hos
She doesn't know, only been in town a couple of months
Isn't ready to call this city home
She's got a job at an agency
Trying to get where she wants to be
To make a living off creativity
But for now she just answers the phone and pours coffee
Damn talk about paying your dues, she's gone on a few dates with some Tindering dudes
But most of those guys were pathetic and rude
Who just wanted to hit her up for some pleasure and nudes
Thinking about her old boyfriend and how things broke up
And the heartbreak of when love isn't enough and the distance is just too much
Man f*ck it. She's doubling down on her career she can focus on love in a couple of years
She wants to have it all but this isn't 30 Rock, Jack Donaghy ain't gonna further the plot
So she rolls the calls, she hits the gym, she works through lunch, she's done with him
Just when she thinks she's all closed up, a couple work friends drag her out to the club

Caught up in the work day
Got her missing her old bae
Life gets in the way you know that she stays
LA Single
Getting dragged out to the club reluctantly
Maybe she'll meet me, we'll see in verse three
LA Single

I roll up in the club with a pack of dudes
A bunch of them are texting girls asking for nudes
How cliche but at the same time how can I judge I'm stuck in thoughts not making moves
All of a sudden there she was, a beautiful girl sipping whiskey on the rocks
Understated cute with intelligent vibes, the professional type and now we're locking eyes oh shit
I think she's looking at me, was it intentionally I think she's looking at me
Feel like I should say something, I feel like I should say something
How much time is passing, is it just me or is it hot in here
She pulls out her phone, so I pull mine out, pretend that I'm texting
Now my windows passing (God I'm such a f*cking bitch)
Now her friends are tapping her on the shoulder, she looks disappointed
They grab their jackets and leave the club, missed my chance oh f*ck
I got 99 problems and all of them are bitches
Genie couldn't fix this shit with ten wishes, couldn't find sashimi in an ocean with the fishes
Apparently there's plenty of em, but I'm the kid at the aquarium looking through the glass
Stuck in my kaleidoscope watching life pass, struggling in the pool while the lovers do laps
Band-aid on the pain with a gag and a laugh, stapled to the background in a time lapse
Crowded metaphors occupying every corner of my mind like dust bunnies... oh shit she's back
Understated cute girl back with her friends, headed to the bar, I got another chance
Take a deep breath and I walk up to her, tap her on the shoulder then she turns around
Hey I say can I buy you a drink? I'm LA Single but it's not what you think
I'm just a regular guy looking for something real, been down for a minute now tell me what you feel
She smiles and says you're cute but I'm here with my girlfriend, the girl from verse two was at an East side club tonight
But I can tell by your vibe you're good guy and you'll stand out from the pack
In a sea full of asshole bros from the frat, keep doing your thing and keep taking your shots
And speaking of which, wanna do some shots?

Doing shots in the nightclub with well-spoken lesbians
Not what I expected but I'm still having fun
LA Single
In the city of Angels can I find the one for me
Nothing's guaranteed, but one day I'll cease to be
LA Single
