RAYE - Distraction Lyrics






South London, I'm a South London girl
I wonder what I should get a tattoo of
I know that my momma 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

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

East London, you're an East London boy
You had me strung up like a puppet toy
Oh shit, wait, I'm a stop talking
I'm a stop thinking 'bout you, where is my distraction?
Shopping, I'm a buy a paintbrush
Grab a couple colours that carry half the weight of everything I'm feeling
So I could 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 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 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 me 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

RAYE Distraction Comments
  1. R.... U....

    Nobody knows the pain in my soul ......

  2. R.... U....

    Biological---Atomic Weaponology(technologies)

    I love to cook food as if i am painting universe in my thoughts as medicines......to eat

  3. R.... U....

    I do not play holi now.....since years....now
    Its almost 20 years or more....
    But i do painting in the food colours.....i cook to eat ......at heat.

    So i do painting daily biologically....as a
    BIOLOGICAL ATOMIC WEAPONOLOGY......

  4. R.... U....

    I love festival of HOLI.....
    COLOURS & COLOURS & COLOURS

  5. R.... U....

    I am Rang----baaaaz
    I do love doing Rang---baaazi

  6. R.... U....

    My favourite colour is red ---yellow ----greeen----sky blue-----orange----& indigo with voilet.....

  7. R.... U....

    I eat gold ......i eat gold ....i eat gold.....in my food.....i eat silver ....i eat silver.....in my food.....

  8. R.... U....

    I love feeding food to females who are my best friends......just feasting them over-eating......its real fun to enjoy eating self cooked food ....when cooked with best thoughts and professionally developed receipes.......

  9. R.... U....

    i am an excellent trained cook......i can cook variety of indian receipes....but all standard receipes ....whose taste will be super normal......though i never worked at any Hotel Restaurant in last 22 years after completing my Catering Technologies GRADUATION.......i still kept cooking food receipes since last 22 years....and now its just a childs play for me to cook any Indian Receipe.....except SWEETS(DESSERTS & CAKES & PASTERIES)....... i am a magician when i cook food.....though i do not cook daily too much......

    Food & Drinks are the secrets of human best Health & Fitness and stable disciplined lifestyle.....

    Its food which works as wonder suppliment for ANTI-AGEING program.......

  10. R.... U....

    tadte====read as Taste

  11. R.... U....

    🔯🔯🔯♒🔯🔯 i am 5 Star Chef ingredient....i cook receipes which taste un-believably tasty....but i cook in a programmed manner......human taste buds like the food i cook self but the development and understanding of tadte differentiation in the receipe cooked by me.....slowly begins ........ its like human brain takes time to understand the receipes as Gold & Atomic Energy of Sun............ which ignites human body immunity non-stop.....and encrypt the brain functionality......

    Those who got food to eat.... offered by me are disesase free humans with super normal life.....in their endeavours....

  12. R.... U....

    I never evaluate money......if i love someone......love cost me nothing......wealth is my play toy.....i breathe & play wealth into numbers.......i will never in life will have scarcity of wealth......
    Because i do not treat wealth as my best possession in life......
    🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯
    For me Love & Affection and Human relations are most cherised possession in life.......

    wealth is nothing more then a system which runs people life like an invisible law of invisible universal God........
    🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯
    Understand this like this======
    RICH have to spend lot of CASH to eat Food at a 5star Hotel.
    But a trained Cook from a 5star Hotel prepares same for himself/herself with same nutrition content allmost freely........
    🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯
    So if you view life closely GOD has distributed HAPPINESS EQUALLY among Humans.....just its shape(form) changes.......

    A man/women with all wealth in the world to spend for themselves are also most lonely people at times in personal Life if they did not find LOVE in their Life.......

    Money can't buy you BIOLOGICAL MENTAL SATISFACTION in life.......

  13. R.... U....

    I already hv toooo many distractions in life....neeeed no more distractions........its enough to live a life......

  14. R.... U....

    12-12(december)2019 THURSDAY
    WAYS to hear nice creative computerized music......like a bloooooood cancer Immunity .....anti-biotics fliwing in tge human body 24 hours.♒♒♒♒♒♒
    ♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒

    I love your voice....its an Addiction

  15. R.... U....

    You are the distraction....idiot

  16. R.... U....

    Don't act foolish.....stupidity is foolishness.......

  17. R.... U....

    I am searching the god encryption.......secret only i know & read......always secretly.....

  18. R.... U....

    The devil in me has awaken after 2 decades of sleep......

  19. R.... U....

    The devil in me...has awaken sfter 2 decades of silence .....and its very dangerous for entire Earth now.....i can do what people have never imagined also......
    I am the death name awaken after 20 years of silence sleep......

  20. R.... U....

    One of best song heard in 2019

  21. R.... U....

    🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯
    ♒♒♒♒♒♒
    ♒♒♒♒♒♒♒♒
    🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯🔯

    Every corner ru 68 watching with invisibility in eyes and weapons in automation control without telecommunnication need.......

    Trust me.........

    I am devils BOSS. I am death Lord.

  22. R.... U....

    SASN(sassan====means to rule in Hindi) secret of my life lies here.....if you can find the invisible waves find it........
