🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • I just wanna lay in my bed
  • Don't feel like picking up my phone
  • So leave a message at the tone
  • 'Cause today, I swear I'm not doing anything

Echo the hook

  • Nothing at all (ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
  • Nothing at all (ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
  • Tomorrow, I'll wake up, do some P90X
  • Meet a really nice girl, have some really nice sex
todaydon'tfeel
