Once in a while (mike meets jessie j)


At 2 o' clock in Hollywood, which means I gotta leave here by 1
I should call an Uber at 12:50
And then after that I gotta meet Bear at Joe's Falafel for dinner at 8 PM (Correct)
Shit, I need a day off
(Once in a while, once in a while, once in a while
Once in a while, once in a while, once in a while)
I think that'd be good for me, honestly
If I just chill that'd be-

(Once in a while, once in a while, once in a while)
Gonna get ready now though, huh
(Once in a while, once in a while, once in a whil?)
Yo, this haircut is crazy, my God

Bald head smooth, not too shabby
Tom Ford cologne so Jessi? know I'm classy
I keep the bottle next to the heat on the dresser
That was too much she'll think I'm trying to impress her
I take another shower to wash off the smell
20 minutes late now, need excuse to tell
I'll just blame it on the traffic, better yet an accident
Car went in a backspin, it was tragic
On the 405 that's it
I call an Uber X
Here comes a man named Dafar in a Camry
Hurry up, I need the Grammy before I'm an antique
I'm too antsy, I get to the studio
There's a white dude in a hoodie named Andy
(Hey, my name's Andy, I'll be your engineer)
Cool
(Jessie's not here)
Alright
(can I offer you a drink)
Yeah, I'll take a cold beer
(We only have water and juice)
That's so L.A. Makes sense

I kill the time lookin' at my DMs, I check 'em

(Once in a while, once in a while, once in a while)
(She's not bad)
Yeah, I check 'em every
(Once in a while, once in a while, once in a while)

And Jessie walks in the room like ahh
Bodyguard with her like (don't get too close, motherfucker)
And I gotta say that she smelled like ahh
I'm dumbfound lookin like "mmm, good God!"
And suddenly I'm so not prepared
I'm doing my best just not to stare
I'm wonderin' how I got in here
Must be the Lord's blessings
The first thing she says is:
Christ, Mike dear
What've you done with all your hair
You're lookin' like a white monk, it's weird

Well you know I just shaved it all off
It's just something that I do every

Once in a while, once in a while, once in a while
Once in a while, once in a while, once in a while
Once in a while, once in a while, once in a while
Once in a while, once in a while, once in a while, yeah

Now I'm super embarrased, in all fairness
She wasn't tryna be mean, she was just surprised
Or maybe she was and now I'm just justifyin' the behavior
Because I love her but I'd touch her as much as I love her eyes
That must be why I tell her "you look very pretty today"
Nice one, dummy (uh, thanks)
Very original
I am sensing something subliminal (this guy's weird)
I think she doesn't really like me (I don't like him)
I think she's thinkin' that I'm lame as fuck (he's lame as fuck)
Yeah, she's thinkin' that I'm lame as fuck (yup)
So imma sing her a song that I already wrote
And pretend I just made it up
[Outro: Mike Posner, Jessie J]
Hey, uh, hey Jessie
Yeah
What if we tried something like

Don't do me dirty, show me some mercy
Darlin', please lay down your weaponry (that's cool)
How did I end up somewhere between, oh (uhh)
Lover and a memory
'Cause I don't believe in a halfway heart (that's cool)
Ba-buh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh (y'know?)
Mm-a-bee-dah-dah (Something like that)
That's dope
It'll sound
I like it
It'll sound better in your voice, too, when you sing it

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
