The Weeknd - Professional Lyrics






It's ideal
You need someone to tell you how to feel
And you think your happiness is real
There's so much more the world has to reveal
But you choose to be concealed
So you're somebody now
But what's a somebody in a nobody town
I don't think you even know it
So you're somebody now
But what's a somebody in a nobody town

You made enough to quit a couple years ago
But it consumes you
It's everywhere you go
And just the thought alone got you trippin'
Got you losing your mind
And I don't blame you
It's everything you know
But I own this time, this ain't new
Da da da da
I decide when we're through

I love, you love
This love
We're professional
I know, you know
We're sophisticated
At lovin'...
We're professional...

What does it mean
When your heart's already numb
You're professional
Won't treat it like it's personal
No, cause it's just love
It always makes its way back around
It's dispensable
To fall is unacceptable
Cause everything you've been through made you stronger
And every day you learn about yourself
And nothing really played out how it's supposed to
Depending on somebody else's wealth
But now you know the value of a dollar
And girl I make enough of it to spend
I love the way you've put yourself together
I love the way you make that body bend
For me again, oh yeah

I love, you love
This love
We're professional
I know, you know
We're sophisticated
At lovin'...

All of those nights you were up barely holding your own
Girl, you've got it made
Had you blaming yourself for when life did you wrong
Now, you've got it made
Getting rich to the drums of your favorite song
Girl, you've got it made
Cause your freedom was here in this cage all along
Ooh, how'd you drain all the soul from your eyes
How'd you teach, teach yourself how to smile
In a world where your dreams can't be real, no
Every touch that you sell is a lie

I love, you love
This love
We're professional
I know, you know
We're sophisticated
At lovin'...

    [Intro]
    It's ideal, oh
    You need someone to tell you how to feel
    And you think your happiness is real
    There's so much more the world has to reveal
    But you choose to be concealed
    So you're somebody now
    But what's a somebody in a nobody town
    I don't think you even know it
    So you're somebody now
    But what's a somebody in a nobody town
    You made enough to quit a couple years ago
    But it consumes you
    It's everywhere you go
    And just the thought alone got you trippin'
    Got you losing your mind
    And I don't blame you
    It's everything you know
    But I own this time, this ain't new
    Now I decide when we're through

  40. N.... A....

    Oooh, how did you drain all the soul from your eyes
    How did you teach, teach yourself how to smile
    In a world where your dreams can't be real, no

  54. J.... S....

    how did you drain all the soul from your eyes

  55. m.... r....

    I’ve listened to the weekNd once he was the NoiSe all my memories with each soNg I miss my old days

  56. J.... M....

    ✌🏾9/29/2019

  57. K.... T....

    Qui écoute ça en 2019 ?

  58. A.... B....

    I wish I could go back to the day of the kissland concert 😞 standing in a crowd of just 20,000 now look at him 😩❤️

  59. D.... C....

    I do need someone to tell me what is real...damn ..that's something to say...

  60. L.... A....

    It gets werid in the middle kills the whole thing

  61. L.... ....

    This song is perfect for a sex scene... hell... I want to make a sex scene to this song.

  62. C.... K....

    I wish I could hang out with all the people in the comments who love this song as much as me and we could just blast this master piece 😭

  63. B.... C....

    I listen to this song literally everyday.... never gets old 🖤

  64. i.... ....

    Anyone else get the urge to cry during this song? Just me? Ok.

  65. L.... R....

    Kissland is its own experience. When this comes on in the car, I'm like man oh man. Nothing like this one.

  66. M.... C....

    01:58 and 02:10 he sounds so much like Michael Jackson S2

  67. k.... m....

    I almost forgot this masterpiece

  68. y.... s....

    Part one seems like he’s talking to a working class person who’s life revolves around their job and only relies on their income. They could’ve invested and quit (you made enough to quit a couple years ago) but all they know is working and collecting debts (just another loan got you tripping) “but it consumes you it’s everything you know!!”

  69. F.... W....

    Best Album Everrrr!!!!!

    When your heart's already numb
    You're professional
    Won't treat it like it's personal
    No, 'cause it's just love
    It always makes it's way back around
    It's dispensable
    To fall is unacceptable
    'Cause everything you've been through made you stronger
    And every day you learn about yourself
    And nothing really played out how it's supposed to
    Depending on somebody else's wealth
    But now you know the value of a dollar
    And girl I make enough of it to spend
    I love the way you've put yourself together
    I love the way you make that body bend
    For me again, oh yeah

    We're professional

  81. N.... A....

    You made enough to quit a couple years ago
    But it consumes you
    It's everywhere you go
    And just the thought alone
    Got you trippin' got you losing your mind
    And I don't blame you
    It's everything you know

  82. N.... A....

    It's ideal oh
    You need someone to tell you how to feel
    And you think your happiness is real
    There's so much more the world has to reveal
    But you choose to be concealed
    So you're somebody now
    But what's a somebody in a nobody town
    I don't think you even know it
    So you're somebody now
    But what's a somebody in a nobody town

  83. A.... L....

    2019 needs more music like this🤤

  84. J.... R....

    2:40.. from telling a sad truth about her and then transitioning too her fate of living the reality of being a slave in a dark world ruled by men.. and her dreams forever living in the shadow of his reality..
    Abel hits the darkest places a human being can explore more than any other artist.. the realm of depression, sadness, insanity and madness.. his music is just made up of these feelings, feelings at one moment being sad and heartfelt with a glimmer of hope too turning dark and feeling hopelessness and all is lost....
    King of the Dark RnB world he is.

  85. T.... S....

    2019 and still listening to this ablum everyday

  86. H.... ....

    If I was a stripper this would be the song I would perform a lot 😅

  87. �.... M....
