Love Lies - Acoustic - Normani Khalid - World Music Abi

It's been a while since I've uploaded. I really love this song so wanted to record a back to basics ukulele and vocal cover.

This song was written by Khalid, Normani, Jamil Chammas, Ryan Vojtesak and Tayla Parx, with production handled by Charlie Handsome and Digi. 


The lyrics:

Sorry if it's hard to catch my vibe, mm-mm

I need a lover to trust, tell me you're on my side

Are you down for the ride?

It's not easy for someone to catch my eye

But I've been waitin' for you for my whole damn life

For my whole lifetime

Don't be afraid to tell me if you ain't with it (you ain't with it)

I see you're focused, yeah you're so independent (independent)

It's hard for me to open up, I'll admit it (I'll admit it)

You've got some shit to say and I'm here to listen


So baby, tell me where your love lies

Waste the day and spend the night

Underneath the sunrise

Show me where your love lies


I've been so into your mystery

Is it because of our history?

Are you into me?

When it feels so good, but it's bad for you

Can't say I don't want it 'cause I know I do

Come on over, I need your company

Cravin' that synergy

Don't be afraid to tell me if you ain't with it (you ain't with it)

I see you're focused, yeah, you're so independent (independent)

It's hard for me to open up, I'll admit it (I'll admit it)

You've got some shit to say and I'm here to listen


So baby, tell me where your love lies

Waste the day and spend the night

Underneath the sunrise

Show me where your love lies

Tell me where your love lies

Waste the day and spend the night

Underneath the sunrise

Show me where your love lies


If you're down, don't hide it

Feelin' me, you don't gotta deny it

Baby, you gon' make me overnight it

Tell me, are you down?

If you're down, don't hide it (yeah)

Feelin' me, you don't gotta deny it (yeah)

Baby, you gon' make me overnight it

Tell me, are you down? (Tell me)


Tell me where your love lies (tell me where your love lies)

Waste the day and spend the night (waste the day, spend the night)

Underneath the sunrise (underneath the sunrise)

Show me where your love lies (tell me where your love lies)

Tell me where your love lies (show me where your love lies)

Waste the day and spend the night (yeah, yeah)

Underneath the sunrise (ooh)

Show me where your love lies
