When He’s Not There Songtext
von Kehlani feat. Lucky Daye

You went from a three bedroom apartment out in Brooklyn
But with that boy you calling man
I should′ve known that you was lookin'
I ran into him uptown, cracked a smile and kept it pushin′
'Cause what he don't know won′t hurt him
Girl, does he know you′re yearning, yearning for me?
I'll tell you three times a year that you got to be solo
Not even for me but for you because I′m out here dolo
Don't tell none of your homegirls ′cause nobody needs to know, no

That I come over when he's not there (Come over)
I come over when he′s not there (Can I come over?)
He don't even know that I'm here (Can I come over?)
I come over when he′s not there (Can I?)
Not there (He′s not there, he's not there)


Does he sleep on his side of the bed
While our memories play in your head?
Have you changed my name in your text? Not yet, no
Girl, we still hotter than LA heat
And it′s feelin' like hide and seek (Yeah)
Know you′re missin' your favorite seat
(Your favorite seat, yeah, you so close to me)
Turn off the lights keep one and leave your backdoor open
I′ma dive in head first and swim right into your ocean
Who knows? I won't end a happy home but I'll leave a condo broken
Him you and I and the walls, I don′t know, it′s unspoken

That I come over when he's not there (Come over)
I come over when he′s not there (Can I come over?)
He don't even know that I′m here (Can I come over?)
I come over when he's not there (Can I?)
Not there (He′s not there, he's not there)

He left you alone now you just wanna play (You)
Guess he missin' out, I won′t let it go to waste
Soft and sweeter every time, I′ma come and get it
Send a signal or a sign, let me know you ready
Who got you on lockdown, ain't even around
Dropped a diamond in the dirt, all this shit is wild (Wild)
He don′t even hit it right, move that to the side (Yeah)
Show me how you fantasize, hit it like it's mine (Mine)
Well damn, guess he won′t know what he had until it's gone
Guess he can′t read in between the lines
While he ignore and I explore (Explore)
Another round, let me pour it for you
I spend my time just adoring you
What heaven I find and he ain't gotta know


That I come over (When) when (He's not) he′s not (there) (Come over)
I come over when he′s not there (Can I come over?, Oh)
He don't even know that I′m here (Can I come over?)
I come over when he's not there (Can′t I?)
Not there (He's not there, he′s not there, yeah)
