Can't Feel my Face
And I know she'll be the death of me, at least we'll both be numb
And she'll always get the best of me, the worst is yet to come
But at least we'll both be beautiful and stay forever young
This I know, (yeah) this I know
She told me, "Don't worry about it."
She told me, "Don't worry no more."
We both knew we can't go without it
She told me you'll never be alone-oh-oh, whoa
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh
And I know she'll be the death of me, at least we'll both be numb
And she'll always get the best of me, the worst is yet to come
All the misery was necessary when we're deep in love
Yes I know (yes I know), girl, I know
She told me, "Don't worry about it."
She told me, "Don't worry no more."

Abel Makkonen Tesfaye was born on 16 February 1990, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and raised in Scarborough. He was the only child of Ethiopian refugees Makkonen, who emigrated from Ethiopia in the 1980s.
Since Tesfaye's father was never around when he was growing up, and his mother was constantly working, his grandmother took care of him most of his young life. Because of this, Tesfaye speaks fluent Amharic; it was the first
language he learned. His grandmother would take him to services at their Ethiopian Orthodox church. This is probably where he learned to sing.
Tesfaye says he adopted the stage name The Weeknd after dropping out ofhigh school at the age of 17 and, along with a fellow crew-member, "left one weekend and never came home". The spelling was modified to avoid trademark issues with a Canadian band already named The Weekend
Critics favorably reviewed "Can't Feel My Face," comparing it to the works of Michael Jackson. Rolling Stone ranked it as the best song of 2015. It was also nominated for two Grammy Awards: Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance. The song experienced commercial success, peaking at
Number One on both the US Billboard Hot 100 and the Canadian Hot 100.
