Album: Love, Damini

Track No: 18

I'm Jorja Smith and when I'm in a bad mood
I can make a whole room really feel as bad as I do
I overthink, "Why am I in a bad mood?"
"Why has someone put me in a bad mood?"
Loads of whys and no solutions of how to get myself out of a bad mood
Which I'm tryna work on
It's the Nigerian nightmare, Kamaru Usman
And when I am in a bad mood, I love to stop and think
So that I don't make the situation worse
I give myself time to be able to make a rational and educated decision
That'd help me through the situation
When I'm in a bad mood, I tend to be very quiet
And I go to my high power, my God

When it's rainin', you wish the sun was shinin'
When it's sunshine, you wish the rain was fallin'
You're always searchin', never seem to find it
Lookin' in all the wrong places

'Cause you can't seem to decide whether you're wrong or you're right
And you're just not sure about your life
Get nervous, then anxiety take over your mind
And your trouble just increase in size
When you're feelin' mad and you're angry
When you feel like you're lonely
When you feel as sad as you can feel
Say, "How bad could it be?"
How bad could it be?

Many wan know if you love just her
And you've got way too many scars before me
Search for problems where there isn't any
You're only happy when us breakin' up

You can't seem to decide whether you're wrong or you're right
And you're just not sure about your life
Get nervous, then anxiety take over your mind
And your trouble just increase in size
When you're feelin' mad and you're angry
When you feel like you're lonely
When you feel as sad as you can feel
Say, "How bad could it be?"
Say, "How bad could it be?"

Oh, there's a reason why you walk like you don't have a care in the world
All the times in your life that you had to put up with someone like me
Never should have loved you like that
Never should have listened to them there
Because even when it seems suicidal
Always have to listen to my heart

When it's rainin', you wish the sun was shinin'
When it's sunshine, you wish the rain would fall
You're always searchin', never seem to find it
Lookin' in all the wrong places, ah

You can't seem to decide whether you're wrong or you're right
And you're just not sure about your life
Get nervous, then anxiety take over your mind
And your trouble just increase in size
When you're feelin' mad and you're angry
When you feel like you're lonely
When you feel as sad as you can feel
Say, "How bad could it be?"
Say, "How bad could it be?"

Yeah, yeah, it's your boy, Swizz Beatz
Shoutout to my brother, Burna Boy
You know, when I get upset
Disappointed with things sometimes
I just, like, put on some jazz music
Go smoke a cigar
And just go play with the kids, you know what I'm sayin'?
Go and play with my kids
Go out with the wife
Just switch that energy and just know that, you know, too blessed to be stressed
No matter what, you know what I mean?
So, a lot of things that I'm upset with
I think because people just don't know better
You know what I'm sayin'? People just don't know better
So, you know, we gotta know better
