[Verse 1]
I know that light travels about 190,000 miles per second
When you smile in my direction
I couldn't pass on you, you're like a lie detector
Don't need no wi-fi to keep our minds connected
So we gon' be alright, watch the neon lights, dance and sip tea all night
And by tea all night, you know exactly what I mean, a-ight
And I, I know every single word from "Illmatic" but whenever we're together my wordings are real average
It's not that I'm low on self-esteem, but you're speaking tomorrow and I don't know what it means

[Chorus]
Oh I thought I had the recipe
But I don't know a thing about love
That all these things I had would set me free
Don't know a thing about love
Please forget me 'cause I won't be here
This time tomorrow
I want you to be the death of me
'Cause I don't know a thing about love (don't know a thing about love)
I don't know a thing about love (yeah)
Don't know a thing about love
So you're gonna be the death of me
'Cause I don't know a thing about love

[Verse 2]
Homie you know me I'm a rider
Hop on my bike and push the pedals down
That's how we get around
I know it's far from perfect but it's getting better now
Now I see your face instead of heavy rain in every cloud
I used to think that I knew everything (everything)
Always searching for a better thing (better thing)
Now I'm thinking 'bout a wedding ring
Guess I'm in a place I've never been
'Cause runnin's what I do best, but with you I lose breath in a few steps
Now let me tell you what that move meant
Together we're a movement, now I know I always knew it
Only we can turn this love song to a duet, let's do it
[Chorus]
Oh I thought I had the recipe
But I don't know a thing about love
That all these things I had would set me free
Don't know a thing about love
Please forget me 'cause I won't be here
This time tomorrow
I want you to be the death of me
'Cause I don't know a thing about love (don't know a thing about love)
I don't know a thing about love (yeah)
Don't know a thing about love
So you're gonna be the death of me
'Cause I don't know a thing about love

[Outro]
I could write another verse but (I don't know)
I don't know if that's necessary I mean the song, the song already feels like coming home (I don't know)
And I don't know how I did it, pure luck maybe, pure brilliance, probably but (all I know)
All I know is this, if I ever put your name in this song, right now would be the time, wouldn't it?
