Distraction

South London, I’m a south London girl
I wonder what I should get a tattoo of
I know that my mama would kill me
So maybe I won’t then, maybe I won’t then
Where is my distraction?

Written in my phone, I see your name
It must’ve been a few long weeks since I heard from you
I’ve been doing fine, thanks
Maybe I won’t then, maybe I won’t then

Thing is I’m weak when I’ve been rolling
I might just give up and let your call in
I would be the girl to lose this one
I would be the girl to lose this one

Seeing as you know I’m the baddest loser
And if I wanna win, I’ve got to lose her
I won’t be the girl to lose this one
So I begin to find a distraction, a distraction

Oh I just need to find something
A way to stop me wondering
Oh I just need to find something
A way to stop me wondering about you

East London, you’re a east London boy
You had me strung up like a puppet toy
Oh shit, wait, I’ma stop talking
I’ma stop thinking ‘bout you, where is my distraction?

Shopping, I’ma buy a paintbrush
Grab a couple colours that carry
Half the weight of everything I’m feeling
So I can try to pretend
I’m really artistic and I don’t really miss this

Thing is I’m weak when I’ve been rolling
I just might give up and let your call in
I would be the girl to lose this one
I would be the girl to lose this one

Seeing as you know I’m the baddest loser
And if I wanna win, I’ve got to lose her
I won’t be the girl to lose this one
So I begin to find the distraction
The distraction, the distraction, the distraction

I just need to find something
A way to stop me wondering
I just need to find something
A way to stop me wondering about you

North London, I’m in north London now
Decided, you don’t get a home and now
If you like, you can always call my phone
Hear the dialling tone and then the answer phone

I’ll be fine if I ignore the sound
When you call to see if I’m around
The moment that you think that you have won
I will have found the perfect distraction
