Heaven Or Las Vegas Lyrics
The Weeknd
Lyrics
I'm paying for all my father's sins
So I will thank him for you
I'mma thank him for you
My serotonin's got a while to go
Girl, it's gone cause of you
It's been gone cause of you
They say, they want heaven
They say, they want God
I say, I got heaven
Well I say, I am God
I never prayed a moment in my life
I'm rewarded with you
I've been rewarded with you
So baby let me kiss your inner thigh
Let me kiss it for you
I can kiss it for you
They say, they want heaven
They say, they want God
I say, I have heaven
I say, I am God
