Groove Theory Lyrics – Kehlani

[Intro]
I’m not the one
And I’m kind of crazy
I like my shower water in flames
And I don’t feel a thing
If you so ever touch a wing on my body, might drip acid rain
She knows my heart
And she knows I’m patient
I turned to God to keep it sane (I turned to God to keep it sane)
Hope she forgives me (Hope she forgives me)
If you so ever say a thing I don’t like, it might come back again

[Interlude]
I took the leap, somebody’s heart

[Verse 1]
Don’t touch that dial
Let’s get some understanding
You can lay it all down
Life is so demanding
Come talk with me
Wanna get you open
Now that you’re free

[Chorus]
I was hoping to groove, baby
I wanna groove, baby, with you
I wanna groove, baby
Baby, let’s groove, let’s groove
Nothing else I rather do

[Verse 2]
Pop out, pop out, I know that it’s lethal
Let’s make a movie
Then come and show me the sequel
I can’t explain it
That body, my favorite playlist

And I’m slapping that thing
Anywhere, everywhere I
“Keep it on repeat” (Oh)
Girl, your body like my playlist
I slap that, put it on repeat
Girl, your body like my playlist
I slap that, put it on repeat
Them street lights your spotlight, yeah
Shawty shining like baguettes when it hit midnight, yeah
All I smell is your perfume and that black ice
All I see is my POV of you in the passenger side
And it’s up, you’re feeling dangerous (You’re fu*king my leather up)
You’re softer when you’re naked
And this moment’s for the taking
Let me save you (‘Cause you my baby)

[Chorus]
I wanna groove, baby
I wanna groove, baby, with you
I wanna groove, baby
Baby, let’s groove, let’s groove
Nothing else I’d rather do
