SZA - Love Language
[Verse 1]
Said patience ain't no virtue with you
I done wasted plenty time pacin' around, hate this coupe
You had bitches on the side, I let my mind wonder, too
You relentless, nigga, I don't need rent, nigga
Text me like I'm waiting for you to come lie to me
Ruin my day sayin' shit to hurt me, I can't compete
Still on the way, I lay awake if you're not around me
I'm so on to you, still gone for you
[Chorus]
Needin' you to talk to me in your love language
Show me, yeah, how to connect to you
Help me understand how you speak your love language
[Verse 2]
Bad as I wanna be yours, I can't get with your program
Sex hittin' like a slow jam, stick around 'cause I want to
Bad as I wanna keep focus, you remind me I'm imperfect
And it sucks to admit
Nobody put that purpose in me like you do, still
Nobody get that work up out me like you do
Nobody get the truth up out me quite like you
You the definition of my right hand
Never mind ridin' backseat when you lead me
[Chorus]
Talk to me in your love language
Show me, yeah, how to connect to you
Help me understand how you speak your love language
[Verse 3]
Call me like you can't suppress memories of me
Call me like you got confessions queued up
Like your last bitch, lookin' chewed up, baby
Call me like you don't regret missin' this old thing back, call me
When you know the difference between me and chickens
[Outro]
You don't wanna be, be without me
You don't wanna live
I don't wanna go, ooh, no
I don't wanna be alone, oh
All that I know is mirrors inside me
They recognize you, please don't deny meYou might also like
"Love Language" is the fifth track from SZA's sophomore studio album, "SOS". This track navigates the complexities of a relationship where infidelity and disappointment are key elements. SZA expresses frustration and disdain with a partner who's done her wrong. She recounts the emotional toll of wasted time, highlighting the partner's hurtful words and actions that have left a lingering impact on her. Despite SZA's partner mistreating her, she is conflicted - she still yearns for the partner's presence and a desire to understand their love language. The plea for SZA's partner to communicate with her through their acts of love highlights a longing for connection amid the relational conflicts she may have with them. The lyrics also reveal a struggle with self-worth, as SZA admits imperfections and the partner's role in defining a sense of purpose in herself. Towards the final verse, there's a shift suggesting a growing self-awareness and a call for her partner to recognize the consequences of their actions and how they'll regret to be without her. Sonically, "Love Language" is R&B and mid-tempo. The song finishes with a string solo that transitions into the fifth track titled "Blind." "Love Language" samples SZA's 2020 single "Hit Different," featuring Ty Dolla $ign while incorporating elements from Aaliyah's 1999 single "I Don't Wanna." "Love Language" emerged as one of the first works SZA created for "SOS," and she provided fans with a preview in September 2019 via Instagram.
