Kehlani’s long-awaited blue water road has finally made its way onto streamers for our listening pleasure, boasting features from names like Blxst, Syd, Thundercat, and Ambré. We’ve also already heard from Justin Bieber on “up at night,” but he’s not the only Canadian star that ‘lani recruited for their latest work.
“FIGURES” singer Jessie Reyez lent her vocal talents to the record’s eighth title, “more than i should,” which blends both artists’ voices together beautifully over upbeat, groovy production.
“Is it really cheatin’ if she ain’t lovin’ me right? / If she’s not touchin’ me right? / Leaves me lonely every night? / You give me attention that he can’t seem to provide / Put in work to make me smile / Say good mornin’ and goodnight,” Kehlani and Reyez sing on the chorus.
Kehlani – more than i should (ft. Jessie Reyez) (prod. Pop Wansel, GRADES & Daoud)
[Verse 1: Kehlani & Jessie Reyez]
If you knew how long it’d been since I let somebody in
Then you know why I can’t look you in the eyes for too long (Can’t do it, baby)
If you knew how long it’d been since I felt her on my skin
And why I keep lookin’ at the shape in the pants she got on
[Pre-Chorus: Kehlani]
Is it really cheatin’ if she ain’t lovin’ me right?
If she’s not touchin’ me right?
Leaves me lonely every night?
You give me attention that she can’t seem to provide
Put in work to make me smile
Say good mornin’ and goodnight
[Chorus: Kehlani, Jessie Reyez, Both]
And I like the way you treat your mama
‘Cause it shows you how somebody will come and treat their woman
I like (I like) the way your phone is open
(Fuck a passcode, man, she cut off mad hoes)
And I like (You)
More than I should, more than I should
And I like (You)
More than I should, more than I should
[Verse 2: Jessie Reyez & Kehlani]
Swear I’m not the type to lie (Not the type)
But I’d feel hella justified (Hella justified)
If I climbed on top and we fuck tonight away like two wrongs
And my boyfriend isn’t loyal (My girlfriend isn’t loyal)
His morals in the toilet, that boy is on a voyage
That boy is on a trip (Trip, ah)
You say it might be time for me to dip (Dip, ah)
[Pre-Chorus: Kehlani & Jessie Reyez]
Is it really cheatin’ if she ain’t lovin’ me right?
If she’s not touchin’ me right?
Leaves me lonely every night?
You give me attention that he can’t seem to provide
Put in work to make me smile
Say good mornin’ and goodnight
[Chorus: Kehlani, Jessie Reyez, Both]
And I like (I like) the way you treat your mama
‘Cause it shows you how somebody will come and treat their woman
I like (I like) the way your phone is open
(Fuck a passcode, man, she cut off mad hoes)
And I like (You)
More than I should, more than I should
And I like (You)
More than I should, more than I should
[Post-Chorus: Kehlani]
And I like (You)
And I like (You)
More than I should, more than I should
[Outro: Jessie Reyez]
At this point, I’m too tired of holdin’ back
At this point, my fantasies got the best of me (And I need it)
At this point, I’m too tired of holdin’ back
At this point, my fantasies got the best of me
And I need to pree the unknown, we’re both grown
Enough to touch, enough to see what’s up
Need to get your ass alone when nobody’s home
Just let me touch, let me see what’s up with that na-na-na (Yeah)
Yeah-yeah-yeah, let me see what’s up with that na-na-na (Mm)
Yeah-yeah-yeah
