​​is it love, is it lies
[Intro]
Ooh-hoo, ooh-ooh-hoo
Ooh, yeah, ooh-ooh-oh
(Hit-Boy)
Ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo, ooh-hoo, ooh-ooh
Ooh-hoo, ooh-ooh, ooh-hoo, ooh-ooh

[Verse 1]
Still wrong even when I'm right (You know, yeah, ayy, I'm right, yeah, ayy)
Once ain't enough, you need to hear it twice (Twice, twice, yeah)
It's a world war when it ain't even worth the fight (No, ooh-ooh, I told you)
You'd rather done choked before swallowin' your pride (Pride)
I, I, I, so I wanna know

[Chorus]
Is it love, is it lies? (Lies)
Do you even know anymore? (More)
Am I yours, are you mine? (Mine)
Who you doing this all for? (For)
Is it pure, is it right? (Right)
Is it shade, is it light? (Light)
Tell me if it's real 'cause
If it ain't, then why? (Why?)
What we doin'? (What wе doin'?)

[Verse 2]
Ayy (Ayy)
Tell me what I'm missin' (Ayy)
I try to talk but you don't wanna listen (No)
It gеts awkward, that's why I keep my distance (Yeah)
So let's address all of this 'fore we get to far for us to reconcile
You runnin' game, girl, you arguin' for exercise
Ayy, what you on? This confusion won't be televised
Who you performin' for? All you do is fantasize
While you try to convince me everything is alright
[Chorus]
But is it love (Is it love? Oh, oh), is it lies?
Do you even know anymore? (Do you know?)
Am I yours, are you mine?
Who you doin' this all for? (Who you doin' this for?)
Is it pure, is it right? (Is it right?)
Is it shade, is it light?
Tell me if it's real 'cause (If it ain't, then why?)
If it ain't, then why?
What is it?

[Bridge]
Is it love, is it lies?
Is it love or is it lies? Is it lies?
Is it love or is it lies?
Is it love or is it lies, lies?
Oh, is it love, or is it lies?
Oh, is it love, or is it lies? Is it lies?
Is it love, is it lies?
Is it love, or is it lies, lies?
Is it love, is it lies?
I wanna know, oh

[Outro]
Two four-letter words, both share L and Es
The I-S and O-V really ain't up to me
See, I'm at the mercy of what you show me, love
I don't know where you've been
And you don't know me, love
Are you proof of the prize before my eyes or
The truth that lies behind the lies?
Guarded and scarred, not knowin' who you are
Or are you fully aware and should be respectfully fair?
Not out of reverence or cowardice, rendered powerless
Victimized by your villainous prowesses, no
But as a worthy adversary
Where the pain is imminent and the danger isn't imaginary
Which one you are will be a constant revelation
This is the quintessential motion of relationships
Will you be the love I covet that mirrors my own
Or yet another lie confirming why I stay willfully alone?
