I’ve always been the one to say the first Hey
Have to swipe and skip a hundred million times
Had to get it better to know just what you like
Now I’m updatin’
You say update like I have never heard before
I’m indecisive but this time I know for sure
I hope that we’re not the only one that feels it all
Are you updatin’?
