Can you say hallelujah for me, so I know you wild?
A good book and a ponytail
You say you're shy, but I know you well
Six hail marys, let your hair down
Can you say hallelujah for me, so I know you wild?
See, I told you, told you, told you
I see you in the morning, morning, morning (hmm)
I know you believe it, just admit it
If you forget it, you're forgiven

Well, you handed me a piece of paper earlier this morning
Crumbled up, said: I need advice on it
So I mark it up, organize, circle it, underline, cross it out
Make sure that you understand what I like
Now don't get it twisted, I know you spent some hours
I can tell by the messy hair and baggy eyes
That's why I'm checking on the misspells, the details
The dog ears, the coffee stains
You gon' make me derail

Don't get too optimistic
'Cause when you try, you miss it
And you do
Yeah, you always do

Can you say hallelujah for me, so I know you wild?
A good book and a ponytail
You say you're shy, but I know you well
Six hail marys, put your hair down
Can you say hallelujah for me, so I know you wild?
See, I told you, told you, told you
I see you in the morning, morning, morning (hmm)
I know you believe it, just admit it
If you forget it, you're forgiven

Forty-five words on a page (yeah)
But I'm glad you got it out your little head
I know you angry, and that red ink got you anxious
Started walking around like you dangerous
Eyebrows, crossed arms, spit fly, steamed out
Wait, wait, wait, wait
You need to calm down

Don't get too optimistic
'Cause when you try, you miss it
La, la, la, la, la, ooh, ooh
I want to keep you under my spell
I bet you would like that
