Lyrics[]

[Verse 1]
3 a.m. on a Saturday
Toes touchin' on the couch as I sigh and say
I've accepted my fate with you
You smiled and you knew
That was your cue

Dinner with our feet up
Makin' love with just our socks on
And realizin' that I miss ya
But if we called it tomorrow
I wouldn't blame ya

[Pre Chorus]
Yeah, I know I'm not your everything
But I'm not lookin' for my everything
I don't need everything from you
And maybe you ain't it

[Chorus]
But you'll do
You'll more than do
Oh-oh-woh-oh
You'll do
You'll more than do

[Verse 2]
My reflection used to stand in my way
But you reminded me, that was yesterday
Found the power that I had in the past
Now I look in the mirror and laugh

Doin' the mature thing
Taking pressure off and breathing
But, baby, are we kidding?
Cause time might make us the punchline
But we'd still be laughing

[Pre Chorus]
Yeah, I know I'm not your everything
But I'm not lookin' for my everything
I don't need everything from you
And maybe you ain't it
But you'll do

[Chorus 2]
Yeah, I know I'm not your everything
But I'm not lookin' for my everything
I don't need everything from you
And maybe you ain't it

[Verse 3]
Cause I been training me
Not to leak my jealousy
Call myself a good girl every time
I keep it in but baby
Honestly
I'm tryin' not to fall
Like all the stories say is destiny
So please tread lightly

Feels good to flirt again
Good to hurt again
And then it's you're an old friend
Talkin' over what should we do
If we could do it over again
Cause I want you over and over again

[Pre Chorus]
This may not be your everything
But we're not lookin' for our everything
I didn't plan to love you
But now I'm choosin' to

(You'll more than do)
Yeah, I know I'm not your everything
(You'll more than do)
But I'm not lookin' for my everything
(You'll more than do)
I don't need everything from you
And maybe you ain't it

[Chorus]
But you'll do
(You'll more than do)

[Bridge]
Yeah, I know I'm not your everything (I'm not lookin', I'm not lookin' for my everything)
(You'll more than do)
But I'm not lookin' for my everything
(You'll more than do)
I don't need everything from you
And maybe you ain't it

[Outro]
But you'll do
You'll more than do
You'll more than do
Ooh-ooh
