I've been
Oh, I've been waiting destiny
And my heart is here right next to me
And I'm caught waiting in the rain
Oh, I've been waiting destiny
And my heart is here right next to me
And I'm caught waiting in the rain
And I know and I need you in the storm
And I oh-oh-oh-I-I, oh-oh-oh-I-I-I-I
Hey, hey, you want to play
Well baby, I can go and go
And every other day you're running off with so and so
Well baby, I would throw you if I didn't know you
But I'm paying for it
Hey, hey, you want to play (and I cry)
Well baby, I can go and go (and I cry)
And every other day you're running off with so and so (and I cry)
Well baby, I would throw you if I didn't know you
But I'm paying for it
Baby I would throw you, if I didn't know you
But I'm paying for it
I hold on, and I don't care what you say
But the way it goes it's happening everyday
(I can see space on my radio)
I hold on, and I don't care what you say (I can see space on my radio)
'Cause the way it goes it's not happening everyday
(I can see space on my radio)
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
Everyday-day-y-day-y-day, everyday-y-day-y-day
Everyday-y-day-y-day
Hey, hey, you want to play
Well baby, I can go and go
And every other day you're running off with so and so
Well baby, I would throw you if I didn't know you
But I'm paying for it
Hey, hey, you want to play
Well baby, I can go and go
And every other day you're running off with so and so
Well baby, I would throw you if I didn't know you
But I'm paying for it
Hey, hey, you want to play
Well baby, I can go and go
And every other day you're running off with so and so
Well baby, I would throw you if I didn't know you
But I'm paying for it
Hey, hey, you want to play
Well baby, I can go and go
And every other day you're running off with so and so

But I'm paying for it
Oh, I've been waiting destiny
And my heart is here right next to me

Oh, I've been waiting destiny
And my heart is here right next to me

I've seen Grimes live twice and I'm seeing her again in July, and everytime she obviously says "BABY I WOULD THROW YOU" not blowy you, hold you, or employ you (c'mon EMPLOY you that's just fucking stupid). I also have the special edition album with the lyrics inside. So here you go FINAL lyrics. Obviously, I have no way to prove it but you'll just have to trust a stranger; I have finally put an end to this Vanessa lyrics madness!
she's my favorite new artist tho!
This is as I hear it. Help/change/add please if anyone else also hears different than the lyrics as written above.
Grimes-Vanessa lyrics
I've been..
Oh I've been waiting definitely
And my heart is here right next to me
And I'm caught waiting in the rain

and I know and it *...what the is she saying?*
and I oh-oh-oh-I-I, oh-oh-oh-I-I-I-I (you can def see her oh-I in the video)
Chorus
Hey hey you wanna play
but baby I can go go
And every other day you're running off with so and so
but baby I'd employ you if I didn't know you
but I'm paying for it
x2
ooh ha huh ha huh ah huh ah huh
Baby I'd employ you, if I didn't know you
but I'm paying for it
I hold on
and I don't care what you say
but the way it goes it's happening everyday
I can't see straight *...what the is she saying?*
I hold on
and I don't care what you say
cause the way it goes it's happening everyday
Everyday x 5
day
d-day d-day
Everyday
d-day d-day
Everyday
d-day d-day
Hey hey you wanna play but baby I can go go
and every other day you're running over flow-flow
baby I'd implore you if I didn't know you but I'm paying for it

______________________
Note the chorus changes which is somewhat atypical of the average song so I'm not claiming this is what she does but I hear it one way at the beginning of the song and a bit different at the end. In Claire's own words, she makes the beats and sounds, most specifically ah or ooh sounds when writing and then she constructs the vocals around that.
Also the "And every other day you're running off with so and so" is correct as is "PAYING for it".
If you watch the video, at 2:01 it looks like she saying "Baby I would throw you if I didn't know you, but I'm paying for it".
The soft part in the middle, where she's not baby talking, sounds like:
"I hold on and I don't care what you say 'cause the way it goes is happening everyday. (I can see space on my radio)".
That's enough time on this for me, thanks.
and "my heart is here right next to me"
it's
"and every other day you're running off with so and so"
and I'm almost positive she says
"but I'm paying for it" as well
and..."but I´m PAYING for it"?
"Baby I would blow you if I didnt know you but I'm paying for it"
