Recently (x4)
I acted cool, I asked around,
But you could not be seen,
I was desperate, indifferent,
To put everyone on call,
You walked in, I clicked on,
You could not refuse,
It has to be, and we know it now,
So get the rocket, light the fuse,
'Cause recently I kissed you,
it's like a dream come true,
And recently you're likin' me and I'm really likin' you,
Never apart, we go around,
Siamese in crazy love,
I learn your quirks, and call your world,
What did I do before you?
Because recently I need to be with you all the time,
Recently some jealousy has crept into my mind,
Recently I noticed that it's weird to be alone,
Recently my friends, they never call me anymore,
Recently I'm happier being by myself,
