Rina Sawayama

Lyrics

[Intro]
More

[Verse 1]
Hey, I want it all, don't have to choose
And when the heart wants what it wants, what can I do?
So I'll take that one, that one, yeah, that one too
Luxury and opulence

[Pre-Chorus]
Cartiers and Tesla Xs
Calabasas, I deserve it
Call me crazy, call me selfish
I'm the baddest and I'm worth it

[Chorus]
Gimme just a little bit (More), little bit of (Excess)
Oh me, oh my
I don't wanna hear (No, no), only want a (Yes, yes)
Oh me, oh my
Gimme just a little bit (XS, XS)
Oh me, oh my
Gimme just a little bit (More), little bit of (Excess)
Gimme just a little bit (More), little bit of (Excess)
Oh me, oh my
I don't wanna hear (No, no), only want a (Yes, yes)
Oh me, oh my
Gimme just a little bit (XS, XS)
Oh me, oh my
Gimme just a little bit (More), little bit of (Excess)
[Verse 2]
Flex, when all that's left is immaterial
And the price we paid is unbelievable
And I'm taking in as much as I can hold
Well, here are the things you'll never know

[Pre-Chorus]
Make me less so I want more (More)
Bought a zip code at the mall
Call me crazy, call me selfish
Say I'm neither, would you believe her?

[Chorus]
Gimme just a little bit (More), little bit of (Excess)
Oh me, oh my
I don't wanna hear (No, no), only want a (Yes, yes)
Oh me, oh my
Gimme just a little bit (XS, XS)
Oh me, oh my
Gimme just a little bit (More), little bit of (Excess)

[Bridge]
Oh me, oh my, where did it go awry?
When all this time, heaven was in our eyes
So, say goodnight, forget about it 'til the end of time
Yeah, I want more, more, more, more, more
More, more, more, more, more
[Chorus]
Gimme just a little bit (More), little bit of (Excess)
Oh me, oh my
I don't wanna hear (No, no), only want a (Yes, yes)
Oh me, oh my
Gimme just a little bit
Oh me, oh my
Gimme just a little bit (More), little bit of (Excess)
(I need it now)
Gimme just a little bit, little bit of (Give me just a little more)
Oh me, oh my
I don't wanna hear (No, no), only want a (Yes, yes) (I don't wanna hear no, woah)
Oh me, oh my
Gimme just a little bit (Give me just a little more)
Oh me, oh my
Gimme just a little bit, little bit of (Give me just a little)

[Outro]
Bit more (XS, XS)
A little bit more (XS, XS)
A little bit more (XS, XS)
More, yeah, yeah
