Professional

[Intro:]
It's ideal.
You need someone to tell you how to feel,
And you think your happiness is real,
There's so much more the world has to reveal,
But you choose to be concealed.
So you're somebody now,
But what's a somebody in a nobody town?
I don't think you even know it.
So you're somebody now,
But what's a somebody in a nobody town?
You made enough to quit a couple years ago
But it consumes you,
It's everywhere you go,
And just the thought alone got you tripping,
Got you losing your mind.
And I don't blame you,
It's everything you know,
All this time this ain't you,
I decide when we're through.

[Chorus:]
I love, you love
This love,
We're professional.
I know, you know
We're sophisticated
At loving.

[Verse 1:]
What does it mean
When your heart's already numb?
You're professional,
Won't treat it like it's personal,
No, ‘cause it's just love,
It always makes its way back around,
It's dispensable.
To fall is unacceptable,
‘Cause everything you've been through made you stronger,
And every day you learn about yourself,
And nothing really played out how it's supposed to.
Dependin' on somebody else's wealth,
But now you know the value of a dollar,
And, girl, I make enough of it to spend.
I love the way you've put yourself together,
I love the way you make that body bend
For me again,
Oh yeah!

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
All of those nights you were up early holdin' your own,
Girl, you've got it made.
Had you blamin' yourself all when life did you wrong?
Now, you've got it made.
Getting' rich to the drums of your favorite song,
Girl, you've got it made.
Because your freedom was here in this cage all along,
Ooh, how did you drain all the soul from your eyes?
How did you teach, teach yourself how to smile
In a world where your dreams can't be real? No,
Every touch that you sell is a lie.

[Chorus]
