Transform – Daniel Caesar

Transform Lyrics

[Intro: Daniel Caesar]
If a leopard never changes its spots
How can I change what I’ve got?
Transform, transform, transform, transform
We don’t punish the tiger for catching its prey
So how am I the one to blame
If it’s in my nature?
Transform, transform, transform

[Pre-Chorus: Daniel Caesar]
And I don’t know why I fight it
The least I could do is try
But ego’s in the way
I know that you feel mad today
But that anger will fade away
And you’ll wish she was here

[Chorus: Daniel Caesar]
It’s never over until life ends
Lay down beside me, do it again
It’s never over until life ends, yeah
Lay down beside

[Verse 1: Charlotte Day Wilson]
Don’t be a fool, baby I know you’ve changed
It’s in my nature and it’s okay (it’s okay)
And I’ll be your goddess and you a part of me
Lay down your pride, lay down with me

[Verse 2: Daniel Caesar]
So ugly but you love me
Keep nobody else above me
And that’s why I keep you around
Ain’t it funny, now you’re money
Act like you don’t know nobody
What goes round gon’ come back around

[Chorus: Charlotte Day Wilson]
It’s never over until life ends
Lay down beside me, do it again
It’s never over until life ends, yeah
Lay down beside me

[Bridge: Daniel Caesar]
You’re my violet in the sun
You’re the chosen one
You’re my violet in the sun
You’re the chosen one
You’re my violet in the sun
You’re the chosen one

[Outro: Daniel Caesar]
Can’t quit you, you’re like drugs
Swear I tried to clean up
Too much shared between us
Saved my soul like Jesus
Can’t quit you, you’re like drugs
Swear I tried to clean up
Too much shared between us
Saved my soul like Jesus
