The first verse touches on betrayal and confusion, questioning how a close connection turned to animosity. The second verse adopts a more confrontational stance, detailing impatience and the consequences of actions within the relationship. The lyrical structure allows for powerful singalongs, particularly in the repetitive and pleading bridge that simply states, “If you wanna talk sometimes.”
This minimalism creates a memorable moment, emphasizing a desire for communication. The outro reinforces this plea, making the track’s emotional core clear. The Kid LAROI has consistently used his music to document personal experiences, and these lyrics continue that authentic approach. They provide the substance for listeners who find resonance in his stories of young love and heartbreak.

Lyrics
[Chorus]
In a perfect world
We’d have it all figured out
Baby, you would be my girl
And if they talk, let ’em talk, baby
Ooh, I hate the way you love it when you hurt me
Ooh, but we could stick it out and make it work, babe
In a perfect world, yeah (Uh)
‘Cause I’m still here for what it’s worth, baby
[Verse 1]
Just let me talk, and listen what I say now
I left my mark, I see we got the same style
I put you on, I see you got some taste now
How’d I become somebody that you hate now?
I was surprised when I heard what you were saying about us
Thought we were tied, baby, I would never play about ya
I fantasize ‘bout the day that we could make it right
I’ll give you time, time, for you to think about it
[Chorus]
In a perfect world
We’d have it all figured out
Baby, you would be my girl
And if they talk, let ’em talk, baby
Ooh, I hate the way you love it when you hurt me
Ooh, but we could stick it out and make it work, babe
In a perfect world, yeah (Uh)
‘Cause I’m still here for what it’s worth, baby
[Verse 2]
Can I just be straight up? I tried to be patient
You left, I told you, “Wait up,” how come you never waited?
You’re all I ever talk ‘bout, late night when I’m faded
Your mind, it was made up, thought I wouldn’t make it
I had to take a week off, still, I couldn’t shake it
My mind, it was racing, you cried on vacation (Cried, cried)
Now you got regret for situations you created
I don’t wanna talk unless you really wanna save shit
[Chorus]
In a perfect world
We’d have it all figured out
Baby, you would be my girl
And if they talk, let ’em talk, baby
Ooh, I hate the way you love it when you hurt me
Ooh, but we could stick it out and make it work, babe
In a perfect world, yeah (Perfect world, uh)
‘Cause I’m still here for what it’s worth, baby
[Bridge]
If you wanna talk sometimes
If you wanna talk sometimes
If you wanna talk sometimes
If you wanna talk sometimes
Yeah, you wanna talk sometimes
You wanna talk sometimes
If you wanna talk sometimes
If you wanna talk sometimes
[Outro]
I said, talk, talk to me, baby
Talk, talk to me, baby
I said, talk, talk to me, baby
(Talk to me) Talk, talk to me, baby
I said, talk, talk to me, baby
(Talk to me) Talk, talk to me, baby
(Talk to me, talk to me)
