Chorus: Janelle Monáe
You met your match and there ain’t no better
I know you tried hard, but there’s no better
Nobody love you like me and you know better
Nobody do it like me and you know better
You try the fast wine, but the slow better
I know you fast wine, but the slow better
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na
Verse 1: Janelle Monáe
The beauty of our shadows
The flicker of electricity
I watch you like a candle
I’m hoping that you pour all on me
Committed to your shrine
I just wanna feel your essence in m?
Mmm
And I know we both deserv? it
Chorus: Janelle Monáe
You met your match and there ain’t no better
I know you tried hard, but there’s no better

I know you fast wine, but the slow better
Na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na

Hold Me (Hold Me)
Steady and slowly (Steady and slowly, yeah)
Unholy, unruly
For my eyes only (For my eyes only)

You’re my one piece no side piece
Love is more I like peace
I fly to Greece, but you on steeze (Come, come, come)
Verse 3: Janelle Monáe, Janelle Monáe & CKay
Come here now stranger
Gimme that sense of danger, yeah, yeah, yeah

Can’t believe we only met one night
Take up so much space in my mind
Mmm-mmm
And I know we both deserve it, na, na, na
