About Pusher Love Girl

"Pusher Love Girl" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Justin Timberlake for his third studio album, The 20/20 Experience (2013). It was written and produced by Timberlake, Timothy "Timbaland" Mosley and Jerome "J-Roc" Harmon, with additional writing from James Fauntleroy. The song is an ode to the "intoxicating effects" of love and sex. "Pusher Love Girl" is a slow-tempo R&B song that goes through several different styles during its eight-minute duration. It opens with an orchestral intro, before transcending into its "funky main section". The song concludes with an outro that sees Timberlake rap over futuristic hip hop beats, comparing several narcotics to the love of his significant other. "Pusher Love Girl" received generally positive reviews from contemporary music critics, many of whom regarded it as one of the best songs on The 20/20 Experience. Some critics, however, were critical of the song's length and its lyrics. Following the release of The 20/20 Experience, due to strong digital downloads, it reached number 15 on the South Korean singles chart, number 64 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 122 on the UK Singles Chart.

Hey little mama
Ain't gotta ask me if I want to
Tell me, can I get a light?
Roll you up and let it run through my veins
'Cause I can always see the farthest stars when I'm on you
I don't wanna ever come down from this cloud of loving you

Now you got me hopped up on that
Pusher love
So high I’m on the ceiling baby
Your my drug
So gon' and be my dealer baby
Roll me up
'Cause all I want is you, baby
One more time
Pusher love
So high I’m on the ceiling baby
Be my drug
So gon' and be my dealer baby
Look me up
'Cause all I want is you baby
You're my little pusher love girl (Ain't ya?)
Just my little pusher love girl

Now hey little mama
I love this high we're onto
And I know that you're somebody
Won't run out anytime soon
You gave me a taste, now I know there's no gettin' off you
I don't wanna ever come down off this type of lovin' you

Now you got me hopped up on that
Pusher love
So high I’m on the ceiling baby
Your my drug
So gon' and be my dealer baby
Roll me up
'Cause all I want is you, baby
One more time
Pusher love
So high I’m on the ceiling baby
Be my drug
So gon' and be my dealer baby
Look me up
'Cause all I want is you baby
You're my little pusher love girl (Ain't ya?)
Just my little pusher love girl

Since you came around, I've been living a different life
I don't wanna come down from this love I got on high
People call me a user, but I want you
To go on and use me too
Nothin' else will do, all I want you, baby
You know who you are

Now you got me hopped up on that
Pusher love
So high I’m on the ceiling baby
Your my drug
So gon' and be my dealer baby
Roll me up
Cause all I want is you, baby
One more time
Pusher love
So high I’m on the ceiling baby
Be my drug
So gon' and be my dealer baby
Look me up
Cause all I want is you baby
One more time

Pusher love
So high I’m on the ceiling baby
Be my drug
So gon' and be my dealer baby
Roll me up
'Cause all I want is you baby
Pusher love
So high I’m on the ceiling baby
Your my drug
So gon' and be my dealer baby
Look me up
'Cause all I want is you, baby

You're my little pusher love girl, so sweet, yes you are
Just my little pusher love girl (Ain't ya?)

She's my little pusher love girl

Sing it, pusher love
I'm just a, junkie for your love
I'm just a, junkie for your love (Come on)
Now I'm just a, junkie for your love (I'm hopped up on it)
And now I'm just a junkie for your love (Break it down)
My heroine, my cocaine, my plum wine, my MDMA
I'm hopped up on it, it won't go away
Now I can't wait 'til I get you home and get you in my veins (Pusher love)
I'm just a, junkie for your love (I'm hopped up on it)
And now I'm just a, junkie for your love (Pusher love)
I'm just a, junkie for your love (I'm hopped up on it)
And now I'm just a, I'm just a, junkie for your love

Uh, my nicotine, my blue dream, my hydroponic candy jelly bean
Did you fix me up, I'm your number one fiend
Be my little pill and just creep into my blood stream
Bloodshot eyes, I'm hoped up on it
You ain't gotta think twice, just hop up on it
There's a million names for your kind of chronic
Uh, that pusher love, that's what I call it (Pusher love)
I'm just a, junkie for your love (I'm hopped up on it)
Now I'm just a, junkie for your love
Let me hear you say pusher love
I'm just a, junkie for your love (I'm hopped up on it)
And now I'm just a, junkie for your love (Pusher love)
