Lyrics to Rebound by Verseatile x Traphik
Hook:
I know that you’re just getting out and you’re tired of it,
you’ll be single for awhile
But every time we’re both hanging out, I get fired a bit,
I just want to make you smile
I know there’s something more between us, I’ll be Mars and you’ll be Venus,
can we get close, please don’t say no
Another case of the rebound
It started out with just a minimal friendship, I would see you out at the clubs, nothing romantic
we would dance in awhile, while we exchange smiles, even though I didn’t know you I was digging your style
we had finally grabbed dinner & drinks, talking for hours, and by the third date I was bringing you flowers
I know I must be trippin when I’m feelin this way, even my boys had caught me slippin for not wanting to play
but every single day I’m thinking about you, I don’t care what anybody else says, girl I’m glad that I found you
I met a lot of women in my lifetime, some inspired me to write rhymes, but never of the right kind
but every time I’m getting close, I feel you pushing back, you wanna be just friends but I ain’t cool with that
you tryna to tell me that your ex is an issue, guess I’ll wait for verse 2 & see the story continue
Hook:
I know that you’re just getting out and you’re tired of it,

But every time we’re both hanging out, I get fired a bit,
I just want to make you smile
I know there’s something more between us, I’ll be Mars and you’ll be Venus,
can we get close, please don’t say no
Another case of the rebound
You had just broken up with him the time that we met, and since you didn’t really know me, didn’t share with me yet
I understand, it ain’t my business you just do what you gotta do, but I ain’t gonna lie I’mma be bothered if he bothers you
emotional roller coasters you had been riding, losing that special person in your life that you would confide in
feels like all the time & effort invested, down the drain, swallowing your pride but couldn’t digest it, now the pain
you’re single and you’re starting fresh, ready to mingle, but when you meet the right guy, is it that simple
so now I realize you ain’t wanting something serious, cuz Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, period
I ain’t tryna to be the rebound, see how, we came together without planning, freestyle
please take a chance on me, I promise you magic, bump this in your ride and think of me while sitting through tra(phik)
