Distraction - Raye

South London, I’m a South London girl

I wonder what I should get a tattoo of

I know that my momma would kill me

So maybe I won’t then, maybe I won’t then

Where is my distraction?

Written in my phone, I see your name

It must’ve been a few long weeks since I heard from you

I’ve been doing fine, thanks

Maybe I won’t then, maybe I won’t then

Thing is I’m weak when I’ve been rolling

I might just give up and let your call in

I would be the girl to lose this one, I would be the girl to lose this one

Seeing as you know I’m the baddest loser

And if I wanna win, I’ve got to lose her

I won’t be the girl to lose this one, so I begin to find a distraction,

a distraction

I just need to find something, a way to stop me wondering

I just need to find something, a way to stop me wondering about you

East London, you’re an East London boy

You had me strung up like a puppet toy

Oh shit, wait, I’mma stop talking

I’mma stop thinking 'bout you, where is my distraction?

Shopping, I’mma buy a paintbrush

Grab a couple colours that carry half the weight of everything I’m feeling

So I could try to pretend

I’m really artistic and I don’t really miss this

Thing is I’m weak when I’ve been rolling

I might just give up and let your call in

I would be the girl to lose this one, I would be the girl to lose this one

Seeing as you know I’m the baddest loser

And if I wanna win, I’ve got to lose her

I won’t be the girl to lose this one, so I begin to find the distraction

The distraction, the distraction, the distraction

I just need to find something, a way to stop me wondering

I just need to find something, a way to stop me wondering about you

North London, I’m in North London now

Decided, you don’t get a home and now

If you like, you can always call me phone

Hear the dialling tone and then the answer phone

I’ll be fine if I ignore the sound, when you call to see if I’m around

The moment that you think that you have won

I will have found the perfect distraction
