Childish Gambino - Love (Dominic) lyrics

And i'm still like
Really like-like we're friendly
-it wasn't like she ignored me, uh
You know like I made her laugh in classes
And stuff and we were friends
But it wasn't like-we didn't hang out
Outside of school or anything

So, it was like Valentine's Day
I decide that I'm going to -this is probably
The closest–if this story had
Actually followed through
Would be the most embarrassing thing
That's ever happened to me
I went -so we went to mass
That morning–it was a catholic school, so
We went to catholic mass–we're down at
Church and the night before
Every little homeroom had their
Own little Halloween -excuse
Me -their own little Valentine's Day party


So, I decided -and we were gonna
Exchange valentines or whatever -so I
Decided the night before to make her
A "secret admirer" little poem
And I don't remember what the-I really do
I'm not holding
Out, I really do wish what the poem said
But it was just something just
Really like struggling to rhyme
Like my whole goal was: make it
Rhyme and make it say "I
Like you", those were the two
Things, so it wasn't, like
Artful in many ways

So I, so uh
And I signed it "Secret Admirer"
And I typed it out on the computer
Printed it out so that my
Handwriting wouldn't be obvious
And I like put it in an envelope
So each homeroom had their
Stack of Valentine's
Day cards so I went in yeah
They each had their own stack
Of Valentine's Day cards
So we all went down to mass
And I had my little letter, and so
We were all in church, and I get
Up to go to the bathroom
And I run upstairs to homeroom and
I slip this envelope in
Her-in the stack of valentines cause
She wasn't in my homeroom

So I go downstairs and I sit in mass
And I'm kind of very pleased with myself
Like I'm gonna pull this off
And then for the next like
45 minutes that mass took
I was-I just completely mind-fucked
Myself into thinking
It was the worst idea ever
I just sitting there, I
Went from like "yeah, i pulled this
Off" to just sitting there like
"You're an you're an idiot
Man this is probably the gayest
Thing anyone can do"
And just like "people are
Gonna know it's me"
"I'm not gonna be able to like-and what do
I even have to stand to gain
By it? Like if I ever admit that it's me
People will be like "You're lame", but if
I don't admit to it
Then she'll never know it was me"
So I was just-it was like-I was just
Sitting there sweating just
Looking–and I couldn't
Get up to go to the bathroom
Again cause they wouldn't let me
So I was just like "alright so I gotta
Get to that-" so then it became "Well
I gotta get to that
Envelope before anyone reads
I just gotta-I just gotta make that happen"

So all the homerooms mass ends
And we all get up to go to our
Classes to have a little
Valentine's Day party
We're all walking up the
Stairs and I'm like
Walking–like speedwalking and just
Like "hey whatever"
I must've looked crazy
And then just go to the homeroom
And I'm like
In the homeroom and I grab my letter
The letter that I had written
And then like, this is like before
Anyone was in the homeroom
But they're like SECONDS behind me
So I like grab the letter and
Shove it in my pocket
And then all the kids walk
In like "Oh! You're
Not in our homeroom what
Are you doing here?"
And I was just like "Oh!
Right! yeah yeah yeah sorry
I thought we were-I thought the party was in
H-I gotta go" and I just left
And I just completely bolted and went
To my homeroom and I
Took -and I was like "how
Do i dispose this thing"
So I literally ripped up the
Letter in the homeroom
Went to the bathroom and
Flushed it down the toilet and then I
Was just like "sigh Thank god
I just created this massive
Problem for myself
