Borderline (An Ode to Self Care) [feat. Q-Tip] Lyrics

We been lovers on a mission
We been lovers on a mission (all the way)
But whats love without a mission
We been lovers on a mission (all the way)
So let's take an intermissionYou know I have the world to think about
And you know I gotta go ahead and take some time
Because the last thing that I wanna do
Is think that it's time that I leave the boderline
So let's take it off tonight
Break it off tonight
Baby let's know when to let go
Know when to let go
Take off tonight
Break it up tonight
Baby I know you're tired
Know I'm tired
Let's take it off tonight
Break it off tonight

Baby it's war outside these walls
Baby it's war outside these doors, yeah
It's safe place tonight
Let's play safe tonight
Baby I know what you're fighting for
Baby you know what I'm fighting forYou know I have the world to think about
And you know I gotta go ahead and take some time
Because the last thing that I wanna do
Is think that it's time that I leave the boderline
So let's take it off tonight
Break it off tonight
Baby let's know when to let go
Know when to let go, oh
Take off tonight
Break it up tonight
Baby I know you're tired
You know I'm tired
Let's take it off tonight
Break it off tonight
Baby I've been more than a woman
We've been lovers on a mission
It's safe place tonight
Let's play it safe tonight
Baby we've been lovers on a mission (all the way)
So let's take an intermission
