lyrics

She got a 6.7 inch Toy
Her Fix of a heavenly joy
Instagram camera posing more pretty
Every swingin hot spot in the city

She need a thousand more likes to fit in
A hundred more when she show some skin
Fingers start scrollin, nasty girls trollin
Baby I just can’t win

A slave to your social media
Every rabbit hole it leads ya
And you crave pretty little lies they feed ya
Baby I’m the one who needs ya.

Put down your phone and talke to me
Put down your phone and dance with me
Put down your phone and make love with me
I need you in the here and now.

She’ll never find her Don juan Quixote
Sending Red valentine emojis
Maybe a Sugar daddy, just a trophy
She on the prowl like a wild Coyote.

Algorithms done cracked the code
Information superhighway overload
Before that dopamine drug explode
I got to get back to airplane mode

To a simpler time,
When we met the moment at hand
Wish we could rewind,
Before my love went to La La Land.
