About

A story about unexpected feelings, complicated intentions, and wanting someone you know you might not deserve. It’s about the contradiction between craving someone’s presence and knowing you can’t give them what they’re looking for. A bittersweet mix of attraction, honesty, and emotional conflict, where neither person gets quite what they expected.

Lyrics

Chorus

This ain't what we bargained for, this is a plot twist

You and I was never friends, this was a plot twist

I know I'm not your type, baby, I know this

A girl like you deserves more, this is a plot twist

Verse 1

I'm just tryna see you

Get you out your head and into mine, yeah

I know you're tired of bein' lonely

But I'm only tryna waste some time, yeah

It's been a minute since I had a good woman

Good night, good sleep, good vibes

I know you can tell when I'm lyin'

It's the way I move my eyes, yeah

Verse 2

I know your friends think I'm toxic, they're right

Know what you need, but can't provide, yeah

And if I had a dollar for all that I'd promised

I'd be rich as hell, I'd probably buy a ride

But I'm tryna stay grounded, babe

You're the one that's keepin' me level

I'm just tryna keep you around, babe

You're the one that's keepin' me settled, yeah

Bridge

You know I got a reputation

That might complicate this situation

So let's just keep it lowkey

Just keep it between you and me

You know I got a reputation

That might complicate this situation

So let's just keep it lowkey

Just keep it between you and me

Chorus

This ain't what we bargained for, this is a plot twist

You and I was never friends, this was a plot twist

I know I'm not your type, baby, I know this

A girl like you deserves more, this is a plot twist

Verse 3

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure you're used to gettin' what you want

Like fast money, fast cars, fast lifestyle

But I'm just tryna slow it down

Take the long road, have some fun, I just want you for tonight

And that's just bein' honest

I know you need a husband, girl, I know that's what you want

But I can't make no promises

I can only keep the ones that I know I can't break

Verse 4

We can make it happen if you know just what to say

You can get your way if you don't know just how to act

Keep it on a need-to-know basis, don't ask too many questions

Take it for what it is and leave it at that

Chorus

This ain't what we bargained for, this is a plot twist

You and I was never friends, this was a plot twist

I know I'm not your type, baby, I know this

A girl like you deserves more, this is a plot twist

Outro

You know I got a reputation

That might complicate this situation

So let's just keep it lowkey

Just keep it between you and me

You know I got a reputation

That might complicate this situation

So let's just keep it lowkey

Just keep it between you and me
