Em Bm D C
Is a shallow love for real?
Em D
Everywhere I go, I see love turn into somethin' it's not
People caught up in the image, when's this shit gon' stop?
C
When he gets down on his knee and that question gets popped
She's like, "Yes, babe!" Eyes still locked at the rock
Em
He's got bands, he wants a pretty lady who wants a Mercedes-Benz
D
So they can both show off to their friends
C
They're in the whip, they're in the penthouse and they're in the jet to France
Damn, it seems like love's the only thing that they ain't in
Em
Divin' in headfirst into some shallow waters
D
I'm just touchin' on a subject that I feel is kinda catastrophic
Am
I'm not sayin' every couple with money's got this problem
C
But in some cases without the label, she'd be straight up robbin'
Em
Takin' vows to the coffin on the wedding day
D
Ain't no prenupt needed, she convinced him it's true
Am
Perfectly curved, believin' every word that she spewed
C
Was blinded by the beauty, can't see through
Em (D)
Is this shallow love?
D
Or is it something real?
C
You make it hard to deal
Em (D)
Not knowin' if this is shallow love
D
The way we live so well
C
Can make it so hard to tell
What you in it for?
What you really in it for?
Em
So girl tell me what you in it for
D
Cause I'm young and livin' like a centerfold?
Em D C
Is it cause I'm takin' you places that you ain't been before?
By the looks of it this love is too fake, we might as well just call the dentist, yo
Em
You see why I'm trippin' though?
D
Cause man if shit's like this now
Then what's it gon' be like when we get to the pinnacle?
C
And I suppose only time's gon' tell
But as of now, we're doin' fine, no help
Em
Girl you're a piece of work that God designed so well
D
But you don't need to check the worth before you ride with me
Am
Put that man aside if he's all about bein' with someone just to get inside
C
Or if he's hopin' and prayin' that you gon' stay when he gets caught
Em
When he slips up, fightin', pullin' all sorts and types of straws
D
Now the jig's up, left broken in pieces like a jigsaw
Am
But that's just how shit goes
C
When you let the shallow love get hope
Girl I just wanna know
Em (D)
Is this shallow love?
D
Or is it something real?
C
You make it hard to deal
Em (D)
Not knowin' if this is shallow love
D
The way we live so well
C
Can make it so hard to tell
What you in it for?
What you really in it for?
Em Bm- Am
Nowadays these girls be so ruthless
Em Bm- Am
2 A.M. knockin' on my front door, who's this?
Em Bm- Am
Girl I don't even know your name
This ain't the time yo
Em Bm- Am
Oh my God this is so insane
Like I ain't even got your number saved in my iPhone
Em (D)
Is this shallow love?
D
Or is it something real?
C
You make it hard to deal
Em (D)
Not knowin' if this is shallow love
D
The way we live so well
C
Can make it so hard to tell
What you in it for?
What you really in it for?
