Lyrics:
You wanna get to know me,
You memorized the lines of my thighs,
I knew before you told me
You’d get it right.

And you took the dark for granted,
And you love me like you
promised your wife,
It’s almost like you planned it in the daylight.

Ooh I can attain it
Ooh I can attain it
Ooh I can attain it
Ooh I can attain it
Ooh I can attain it
Ooh I can attain it

I like the way you say it,
Tell me the words you told me
that day,
Maybe if I could believe it I could just stay.

Cuz I like the way you do it,
Yeah I like the way you move it baby show me the way,
I like the way you get it on the freeway.

And I wish I could change it,
And we’re always gonna be....
Contaminated.
And oh,
I know what we need,
You start letting me go,
Our love is tainted.

You said they’d be against us,
I say you care too much what they say,
You said “do me a favor gimme some faith.”
Cuz you promised me you’d do it,
You said “baby let me prove
it, look at me in the face...
This is the face of someone who loves you babe.”

And I wish I could change it,
And we’re always gonna be....
Contaminated.
And oh,
I know what we need,
You start letting me go,
Our love is tainted.

You start letting me go.
You start letting me go.
(Stay)
You start letting me go
You start letting me go
(Stay)

And I wish I could change it,
And we’re always gonna be....
Contaminated.
And oh,
I know what we need,
You start letting me go,
Our love is tainted.

And I wish I could change it,
And we’re always gonna be....
Contaminated.
And oh,
I know what we need,
You start letting me go,
Cuz our love is tainted

(Oh I can attain it)
(Oh I can attain it)
(Oh I can attain it)
(Oh I can attain it)
(Oh I can attain it)

6 years since I've been following her musical career and not ONE bad song. Not one.

[shrexyeverafter]

do y’all know how beautiful it is to listen to this song, at 3 AM, in the dark, so quietly

[dakotadenali]

nietzsche once said something along the lines of "an artist must portray the dark parts of the human soul as lifelike as the light parts"

i feel like banks is one of the only artists *i know* who actually completely fulfills this. her music sounds so dark, deep and completed yet so unbelievably vulnerable and light at the same time. we can actually call ourselves blessed to be able to listen to her incomparable art.

i can't say it enough, thank you banks, for everything.
i love you.

[kiarastewart]

After one listen the song was buried in my bones. BANKS has contaminated me and I'm not complaining. Streaming this on repeat.

[j___]

the visuals are stunning her voice is stunning I love every song Banks has released

[blahblahblahaha]

I’m glad she isn’t too famous. She has such a great fan base. Every video I can’t find one negative comment which is what she deserves.

[ivanastajkovic]

Her music is like the door to a whole another universe aksksks 😍

[jessecastro]

III banks third album available on all platforms on july 12th

[brandonbeauregard]

I was at my lowest lows in a very abusive and toxic relationship years ago and through her lyrics, I found the courage and confidence to finally leave him even though at the time it was the hardest thing to do.. In the progression of her albums, I too have grown with her songs and found myself. Thank you Banks for your music and you are truly a legend. 💙

[holdontillmay.]

No one:
Absolutely no one:
Not a single soul in the world:
Banks: blesses us with new music and her unique voice

[kevintobar]

I just know I won't be able to finish this album without crying...

[amandarae]

Can’t believe this woman has not one bad song. She’s simply magic

[TheCherryPandy]

This gives me "Drowning" vibes, but deeper... y'all feel me?

Lyrics:

You wanna get to know me
You memorized the lines of my thighs
I knew before you told me you'd get it right
And you took the dark for granted
And you love me like you promised your wife
It's almost like you planned it in the daylight

Ooh, I can attain it
Ooh, I can attain it
Ooh, I can attain it
Ooh, I can attain it
Ooh, I can attain it
Ooh, I can attain it

I like the way you say it
Tell me the words you told me that day
Maybe if I could believe it I could just stay
'Cause I like the way you do it
Yeah I like the way you move it baby show me the way
I like the way you get it on the freeway

And I wish I could change it
And we're always gonna be contaminated
And oh, I know what we need
You start letting me go
Our love is tainted

You said they'd be against us
I say, "You care too much what they say"
You said, "Do me a favor, give me some faith"
'Cause you promised me you'd do it
You said, "Baby, let me prove it, look at me in the face
This is the face of someone who loves you, babe"

And I wish I could change it
And we're always gonna be contaminated
And oh, I know what we need
You start letting me go
Our love is tainted

You start letting me go
You start letting me go
(Stay)
You start letting me go
You start letting me go
(Stay)

And I wish I could change it
And we're always gonna be contaminated
And oh, I know what we need
You start letting me go
Our love is tainted
And I wish I could change it
And we're always gonna be contaminated
And oh, I know what we need
You start letting me go
('Cause our love is tainted)

Ooh, I can attain it
Ooh, I can attain it
Ooh, I can attain it
Ooh, I can attain it
Ooh, I can attain it

Banks is really a true artist. It’s like she can read my soul. She can see thru my heart. I’m sure that I’m not the only one feeling like that. Thank you so much my love for this music!!!

[NurNeeza]

Mannn this part hits me when Banks sang “You said they'd be against us
I say, "You care too much what they say"
You said, "Do me a favor, give me some faith"
'Cause you promised me you'd do it
You said, "Baby, let me prove it, look at me in the face
This is the face of someone who loves you, babe"
MY HEART I LOVE YOU BANKS FOR SPEAKING THE DEMONS INSIDE ME♥️♥️
