Joshua Baraka – “Wrong Places” Lyrics
[Intro: Joshua Baraka]
Who can you love, who can love, baby
Who can you love, who can you love
Who can you love, who can you love (Braaka yeah yeah)[Verse 1:Joshua Baraka]
Party starter (starter)
Taking the liquor no chaser
Every guy mad over you. They wanna buy you with paper. (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Only wanna have a good time so you put on your strain in your rizzler, yeah
Never want to be alone, so you go dancing with strangers.(yeah yeah yeah)[Chorus: Joshua Baraka]
Looking for love, looking for love in all of the wrong places
You’ve been running from life, but you can not hide baby let’s just face it
Who can you love if you don’t love yoursеlf and you feel like you don’t matter
You feel like nobody undеrstands Tomanyi najoyagala genda
Baby am right here, when you need to roll one
I’ll pass you the lighter, even if it breaks my heart
Baby am right here, when you need to roll one
I’ll pass you the lighter, even if it breaks my heart
[Verse 2: Joshua Baraka]
I know it’s really hard sometimes
Seated in the corner as the walls closing in
So you choose to ski
Snow flake in the summer
Cut lines, and you’re feeling irie
Baby, I’m not judging you
You’ll always be my chargie, my baby boo
Feel like the world is against you
But I’m always beside you
