top shelf
(beat intro)

(verse 1)
i see you with your girls on a sat*rday night
laughin’at the prices, thinkin’ you got life on a discount, right?
tag says”gently used” but i can see the seams are loose
from the way you play with hearts,a habit you reproduce
i used to browse the aisles,not knowin’ my own worth
settlin’for the bargain, thinkin’ i hit gold on earth
but every time i took you home,the thrill would fade so fast
a temporary high,i knew it wasn’t built to last
(pre*chorus)
but i’m lookin’for longevity, somethin’ that won’t fade
not a seasonal attraction,a limited*time charade
my heart ain’t a coupon,baby, no bogo
i’m done shoppin’in the bargain bin, i finally know
(chorus)
i’m tirеd of pickin’from the clearance rack
womеn with the missing pieces,love that you can’t give back
i’m lookin’for a classic, somethin’ that will last
yeah,i need a woman from the top shelf, glass
no more half*off love,no more damaged hearts
i need the premium connection,right from the very start
so i’m passin’by the sale signs, leavin’ all that in the past
’cause i need a woman from the top shelf,built to last
(verse 2)
you flash a smile,50% off, think it’s a steal
but that”as*is, no return” policy, that’s how your love feels
no depth in conversation,just surface*level talk
like a cheap perfume that fades after your evening walk
i need substance,i need soul, i need a best friend
not a fling that’s over when the weekend ends
i’m raisin’my standards, yeah, i’m changin’ my address
from the bottom of the barrel to a life of happiness
(pre*chorus)
’cause i’m lookin’for longevity, somethin’ that won’t fade
not a seasonal attraction,a limited*time charade
my heart ain’t a coupon,baby, no bogo
i’m done shoppin’in the bargain bin, i finally know
(chorus)
i’m tired of pickin’from the clearance rack
women with the missing pieces,love that you can’t give back
i’m lookin’for a classic, somethin’ that will last
yeah,i need a woman from the top shelf, glass
no more half*off love,no more damaged hearts
i need the premium connection,right from the very start
so i’m passin’by the sale signs, leavin’ all that in the past
’cause i need a woman from the top shelf,built to last
(bridge)
no disrespect to you,we all have our own path
but my heart’s a luxury item,can’t do the aftermath
of a love that’s disposable,meant to be replaced
i need a timeless bond,one that can’t be erased
so i’ll wait…i’ll be patient on my own
until the right one comes,and i don’t feel alone
she’s out of my league?nah, that’s just in my mind
i’m upgradin’my value, leavin’ all that behind
(chorus)
(ad*libs:yeah, for real… top shelf… under the main vocals)
i’m tired of pickin’from the clearance rack!
women with the missing pieces,love that you can’t give back!
i’m lookin’for a classic, somethin’ that will last!
yeah,i need a woman from the top shelf, glass!
no more half*off love,no more damaged hearts! (no more!)
i need the premium connection,right from the very start!
so i’m passin’by the sale signs, leavin’ all that in the past!
’cause i need a woman from the top shelf,built to last
(outro)
top shelf,glass…
no more clearance,no more discounts on my heart
(ad*lib:i’m through with that…)
just that top*shelf love…
beat fades out with the lingering rhodes melody and vinyl crackle
