The Weeknd Professional

It's ideal, oh

You need someone to tell you how to feel

And you think your happiness is realThere'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 losin' 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



I love, you love

This love

We're professional

I know, you know



We're sophisticated

At lovin' (Lovin, lovin, lovin, lovin, lovin)

We're professional

At lovin' (Lovin, lovin, lovin, lovin, lovin)



What does it mean, oh

When your heart's already numb

You're professional

Won't treat it like it's personal

No, 'cause this is 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' (Lovin, lovin, lovin, lovin, 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 (In a world

Where your dreams (Where your dreams)

Can't be real, no

Every touch that you sell is a lie (Lie)



I love, you love

This love

We're professional

I know, you know

We're sophisticated

At lovin' (Lovin, lovin, lovin, lovin, lovin)



We're professional

At lovin' (Lovin, lovin, lovin, lovin, lovin)

We're professional
