Ivy (2pm) Lyrics


Like poison ivy
How you get under my skin
It feels like ninety
I thought you were my next of kin
What you been hiding?
Know you’ve got some on the side
It’s perfect timing
It’s perfect timing

And I don’t need proof
When you’re crying on me in the dead of night
Go ‘head and grow on somebody else
‘Cause it won’t be me
It won’t be me

If you expect to see me the same way twice, that’s insanity
You learn from mistakes as the earth quakes
I’ll see you off
Guess I’ma turn it on us
If I was there in spirit like a rosary
Then you had blind faith in me
Enough to find presence of mind
‘Til it’s broken in pieces

And I don’t need proof
To know the ways you cry for help
So you might as well grow on somebody else
‘Cause it won’t be me
No, it won’t, no, it won’t be
It won’t be me

Like poison ivy
How you get under my skin
It feels like ninety
I thought you were my next of kin
What you been hiding?
I know you’ve got some on the side
It’s perfect timing
It’s perfect timing

You would’ve thought I had a second wind, yeah
Even if you were once or twice my friend, yeah
Oh, even if you were once or twice my friend
