Looking for the perfect Instagram caption to sum up how you feel this Valentine’s Day, but at a loss for words? Just do what everyone else does on IG: quote some Drake lyrics and watch those hearts roll in. Drizzy has always had plenty to say—about life, love, heartbreak, and everything else that makes him rap’s most sensitive (and caption-worthy) soul. So, whether you’re in a new relationship, a long-term one, or just single and looking to pick up, take a cue from a dude who always wears his heart on his sleeve, despite how embarassing it may be.
As a public service—so you can spend less time on captions and more time on action this February 14th—we’ve come up with 20 Drake lyrics that make the perfect Valentine’s Day Instagram post, no matter how you’re in your feelings this year.
If you’re in a new relationship: “And I love it when your hair still wet ‘cause you just took a shower/ Runnin’ on a treadmill and only eating salad” (“I’m So Proud of You”)
If you’re in a new relationship and things are going well: “How beautiful our kids will be, girl, I don’t need convincing” (“Connect”)
If you’re in a new relationship and things aren’t going well: “Late night like Left Eye, I’m creepin’/ Assuming the worst ‘cause I haven’t heard from you all weekend/ Your silence is drivin’ me up the wall, up the wall/ I cannot tell if you’re duckin’ calls or missin'’calls” (“After Dark”)
If you’re in a long-term relationship: “Sweatpants, hair tied, chillin’ with no makeup on/ That’s when you’re the prettiest, I hope that you don’t take it wrong” (“Best I Ever Had”)
If you’re in a long-distance relationship: “I never said it’d be fair/ But when you’re all alone, I hope you truly know/ How bad I want to be there” (“A Night Off”)
If you’re single and OK with it: “She said, "Do you love me?" I tell her, ‘Only partly’/ I only love my bed and my mama, I’m sorry” (“God’s Plan”)
If you’re single and definitely not OK with it: “I was too good to you, should’ve stayed solid/ Nice guys always finish off where they started” (“Desires”)
If you’re looking to hook up: “I got my eyes on you/ You’re everything that I see/ I want your hot love and emotion endlessly” (“Hold On, We’re Going Home”)
If you’re looking to break up: “You would always complain about my small texts/ But what you call conversation, I call stress” (“My New Shit”)
If you’re looking to get back together with your ex: “Next time we fuck, I don’t wanna fuck, I wanna make love/ Next time we talk, I don’t wanna just talk, I wanna trust” (“Own It”)
If you’re looking to get back together with your ex… just for tonight: “I could name a lot of things any other man/ Won’t do for you, I do for you” (“Recognize”)
If you’re ready to pop the question*: “I hope one day we get married just to say we fuckin’ did it / And girl, I’m fuckin’ serious, I’m wit’ it if you wit’ it” (“Miss Me”) [*Editor’s note: Please don’t actually propose like this.]
If you’re ready to make next Thanksgiving weird: “Yeah, baby you finer than your fine cousin, and your cousin fine/ But she don’t have my heart beating double time” (“Shut It Down”)
If you went home alone: “I don’t trust these bitches/ They might catch me slipping” (“Trust Issues”)
If you’re creeping your ex’s feed and don’t care who knows it: “Who you settling for? Who better for you than the boy, huh?” (“From Time”)
If you’re in your feelings and don’t care who knows it: “Mixing vodka and emotions, tapping into your emotions/ Dry cry ‘cause I’m hopeless” (“With You”)
If you completely forgot it even was Valentine’s Day: “They always tell me ‘Nobody’s workin’ as hard as you’/ And even though I laugh it off, man, it’s probably true” (“Light Up”)
If you’re looking to make them cry: “I love your ass like Milhouse loved Lisa/ I love your ass like the Ninja Turtles love pizza” (“Good Girls Go Bad”)
If you want people to mute you: “Baby, you my everything, you all I ever wanted” (“Best I Ever Had”)
If you really want people to mute you: “Rock me real slowly/ Put a bib on me/ I’m just like a baby, droolin’ over you/The things you do” (“Jungle”)
