[Verse 1]
Twenty-three year old me would have slipped my number
To your "Live fast" knuckle tattoos
Tucked my hand next to the dip in your left back pocket
On the way up to your one-bedroom
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm not tryna be unfair, the thing is I've just had my share of guys like you (Guys like you)
If I let those baby blues kiss me what comes next is no mystery based on my history
[Chorus]
You got a bone dry bottle of Jack by the nightstand
Face down frame of your ex and you're just friends
Lipstick stains on a glass in the sink, yeah, it's all too familiar to me
I bet you takе my coat to pretend you're a gеntleman
Hang it in your closet next to your skeletons
Dirty laundry all over the floor
You could show me your place but I been there before
(But I been there before)
[Verse 2]
You're a heartbreak in leather
Sippin' red flag label, yeah, you look just like déjà vu
And the only thing stoppin' me goin' back to your apartment is I know what I'll see if do (See if I do)
[Chorus]
You got a bone dry bottle of Jack by the nightstand
Face down frame of your ex and you're just friends
Lipstick stains on a glass in the sink, yeah, it's all too familiar to me
I bet you take my coat to pretend you're a gentleman
Hang it in your closet next to your skeletons
Dirty laundry all over the floor
You could show me your place but I been there before
(But I been there before)
(But I been there before)
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm not tryna be unfair, the thing is I've just had my share of guys like you (Guys like you)
If I let those baby blues kiss me what comes next is no mystery based on my history
[Chorus]
You got a bone dry bottle of Jack by the nightstand
Face down frame of your ex and you're just friends
Lipstick stains on a glass in the sink, yeah, it's all too familiar to me
I bet you take my coat to pretend you're a gentleman
Hang it in your closet next to your skeletons
Dirty laundry all over the floor
You could show me your place but I been there before
[Outro]
You could show me your place but I been there before
