Exile
Lupita
[Intro]
What's your name? Fashawn?
You should call yourself Santiago
Aye, mayne, you see that girl right there?
(You see this n***a?)
Te-he, that's all me, mayne
That's all me, brother
Lupita, Lupita
I think that's her name
Yeah
I'ma show you something my Uncle Roy taught me
You think I don't got it?

[Verse 1]
Her name was Lupita, met her at school
Real sophisticated, kinda preppy but cool
I wrote her a poem and captured her heart
It put me in the friend zone, but that was a start
See, I started noticing her in a whole 'nother light
Was the inspiration for every love song I would write
Dreams of holding her tight, I tried to prevent
Not liking her I tried to pretend that her and I were just friends
And it's a thin line, emotions, I bottled 'em in
Just a foolish love jones, what this probably is
Captivated by her lips every time I conversate with her
Wanna make her mine, what I'm waiting for
I gotta let her know
[Hook]
She driving me crazy, feelings starting to show
With her I wanna go, think I'm moving too slow
I gots to let her know
Uh-huh, I gots to let her know
That she driving me crazy, feelings starting to show
With her I wanna go, think I'm moving too slow
I gots to let her know
Uh-huh, I gots to let her know

[Verse 2]
About telling her how I feel, I'm kinda hesitant
Afraid of rejection, intimidation is evident
She way out of my league, but that's irrelevant
To how I feel, my feelings just keep developing
Just let her know how you feeling, my n***as recommend
Hundred girls but only one I'm interested in
And that's her, the definition of what beautiful is
Intelligent, and she far from the usual
Not just a schoolboy crush, it's deep in my heart
Bashful, keeping her in the dark
Not just a schoolboy crush, man it's deep in my heart
When she don't know, am I wrong for keeping her in the dark

[Hook]
She driving me crazy, feelings starting to show
With her I wanna go, think I'm moving too slow
I gots to let her know
Uh-huh, I gots to let her know
That she driving me crazy, feelings starting to show
With her I wanna go, think I'm moving too slow
I gots to let her know
Uh-huh, I gots to let her know
[Bridge]
'Shawn & Lupita sitting in a tree
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
Everybody says she's out of my league
And she would never go for a guy like me

[Verse 3]
I'm thinking maybe I should write her a note
I'm in the mirror rehearsing
Plotting how to approach
Cause she fine as hell, you gotta agree
I'mma just give it a shot, how hard could it be
I finally stepped to her and let her know how I felt
Her brown eyes made my heart melt, couldn't breathe
That's when she replied, "Maybe in another life"
Cause I just wasn't her type, but (Aww man)

[Hook]
She driving me crazy, feelings starting to show
With her I wanna go, think I'm moving too slow
I gots to let her know
Uh-huh, I gots to let her know
That she driving me crazy, feelings starting to show
With her I wanna go, think I'm moving too slow
I gots to let her know
Uh-huh, I gots to let her know
Interlude: Mama Said (Days Like This)

[Fashawn talking in a pitched voice]
It's been like this...
I loved you, y'knowwhati'msaying, in the mall
It's crazy
I never knew I could feel this way
But I guess this is life
Mmm...
My mama told me though, this would happen, y'knowwhati'msaying, someday
Yeah, uh

[Hook]
Mama said they'd be days like this
When the clouds are grey and the sun don't shine
Mama said they'd be days like this
But you'll survive, it will be alright
Mama said they'd be days like this
When the clouds are grey and the sun don't shine
Mama said they'd be days like this
You'll survive, it will be alright
It will be alright

[Outro]
Fuck it, man, I'm gone
