FKA Twigs Lyrics

"cellophane"

Didn't I do it for ya?
Why don't I do it for ya?
Why won't you do it for me?
When all I do is for ya

They wanna see us, wanna see us alone
They wanna see us, wanna see us apart
They wanna see us, wanna see us alone
They wanna see us, wanna see us apart

And I just want to feel you're there
And I don't want to have to share our love
I try but I get overwhelmed
When you're gone I have no one to tell

When I just want to feel you're there
And I don't want to have to share our love
I try but I get overwhelmed
All wrapped in cellophane
The feelings that we had

Didn't I do it for you?
Why don't I do it for you?
Why won't you do it for me?
When all I do is for you

And didn't I do it for you?
Why won't I do it for you?
Why won't you do it for me?
When all I do is for you

But I just want to feel you there
And I don't want to have to share our love
I try but I get overwhelmed
When you're gone I have no one to tell

They're waiting, they're watching
They're watching us, they're hating
They're waiting and hoping
I'm not enough

This was a promotional single from her album "LP2". The first song from FKA twigs in three years, "Cellophane" was released on the 24th of April 2019.

FKA twigs explained that the visual idea behind the writing process of this song could only be fulfilled by learning how to pole-dance. That's why she shared videos of her pole-dancing during months prior to the song's release.

The singer said about the music video for "Cellophane" and its director, "I knew I had to learn how to pole-dance to bring it to life, and so that's what I did. thank you @Andrew_T_Huang, for elevating my vision beyond words. you are a visionary."

album: "MAGDALENE" (2019)
