I see you kicking that ball
Rodrigo de Paul
and if you'd ever call
I'd pick up
cause Rodrigo de Paul
I'd literally crawl
and gently sprawl
if you ever texted
"U up?"
you kick
you score
you leap
you freak
you good?
what's up?
how's your day?
how's your week?
you run
you hide
but can't hide from me
cause I'll sing
to thee
as youre kicking that ball
Rodrigo de Paul
and if you'd ever call
I'd pick up
I'd pick up
and I need you to know that
tonight
