Shallow Love (Explicit) - Jack & Jack
Written by:Jack Gilinsky/Jack Johnson
Is your shallow love for real
Everywhere I go I see love turnin' into somethin' it's not
People caught up with the image when's this sh*t gon' stop
When he gets down on his knee and that question gets popped
She's like yes babe eyes still locked at the rock
He's got bands he wants a pretty lady who wants a Mercedes-Benz
So they can both show off to their friends
They're in the whip they're in the penthouse and they're in the jet to france
Damn it seems like love's the only thing that they ain't in
Divin' in headfirst into some shallow waters
I'm just touchin' on a subject that I feel is kinda catastrophic
I'm not sayin' every couple with money's got this problem
But in some cases without the label she'd be straight up robbin'
Takin' vows to the coffin on the wedding day
Ain't no prenupt needed she convinced him it's true
Perfectly curved believin' every word that she spews
Blinded by the beauty can't see through
Is this shallow love
Or is it something real
You make it hard to deal
Not knowin' if this is shallow love
The way we live so well
Can make it hard to tell
What she in it for
What she really in it for
So girl tell me what you in it for
Is it cause I'm young and livin' like a centerfold
Is it cause I'm takin' you places that you ain't been before
By the looks of it this love is too fake
We might as well just call the dentist yo
Can you see why I'm trippin' though
Cause man if sh*t's like this now
Then what's it gon' be like when we get to the pinnacle
And I suppose only time's gon' tell
But as of now we're doin' fine no help
Girl you're a piece of work that god designed so well
But you don't need to check the worth before you ride with me
Put that man aside if he's all about bein' with someone just to get inside
Or he's hopin' and prayin' that you gon' stay when he gets caught
When he slips up fightin' pullin' all sorts and types of straws
Now the jig's up left broken in pieces like a jigsaw
But that's just how sh*t goes
When you let the shallow love get hold
Girl I just wanna know
Is this shallow love
Or is it something real
You make it hard to deal
Not knowin' if this is shallow love
The way we live so well
Can make it so hard to tell
What she in it for
What she really in it for
Nowadays these girls be so ruthless
2 a.m. knockin' on my front door who's this
Girl I don't even know your name
This ain't the time yo
Oh my god this is so insane
Like I ain't even got your number saved in my iPhone
Is this shallow love
Or is it something real
You make it hard to deal
Not knowin' if this is shallow love
The way we live so well
Can make it so hard to tell
What she in it for
What she really in it for
Tell me now damn
Now tell me now
What you in it for girl
I don't even f**king know
