CRY WOLF Lyrics
[Chorus: Alina Smith, Giselle, and Elli Moore]
Knew it from the jump you were bad news
Eating up my time, leave my mind in the woods but
Now you see the face under the red hood
And you cry, now you cry, yeah, you cry, yeah, you cry wolf
Oh, you thought I was a little sheep, yeah-yeah
Never noticed how I hid my teeth
Now there ain't nobody that'll hear you
If you cry, if you cry, if you cry, if you cry wolf
[Verse 1: Alina Smith, Giselle]
Once upon a time, I would let it slide
Make peace with the villains until I realized
Little heroines never get a win
So I had to grow up and grow some thicker skin
Now my eyes ain't bawling, only ballin' for them big moves
I can't hear you calling, tell me who you gonna cry to
[Pre-Chorus: Giselle, Elli Moore]
Zip it, zip it, baby, your trippin', trippin'
Better remember you're the one who made me wicked, wicked
Awoo! Get runnin', runnin', I'm comin', comin'
I'm finally takin' back what's mine
Awoo! They won't believe it, You'll never see it
When I get you in the night (Ah-ha)
[Chorus: Alina Smith, Giselle, Elli Moore, and All]
Knew it from the jump you were bad news
Eating up my time, leave my mind in the woods but
Now you see the face under the red hood
And you cry, now you cry, yeah, you cry, yeah, you cry wolf
Oh, you thought I was a little sheep, yeah-yeah
Never noticed how I hid my teeth
Now there ain't nobody that'll hear you
If you cry, if you cry, if you cry, if you cry wolf
[Verse 2: Alina Smith, Giselle, and Elli Moore]
Talkin' that talk, ba-ba-blah-blah-blah
When you gimme that toxic I go off
When you call me selfish, Hella-hellish
What you really meant to say is I'm a bad bitch
She's gone, the girl that would ever care
If you hate me, hate me, hate me
No, you didn't mean to make an enemy
But you did you dirty underestimating me
[Pre-Chorus: Alina Smith, Giselle, and Elli Moore]
Zip it, zip it, baby, your trippin', trippin'
Better remember you're the one who made me wicked, wicked
Awoo! Get runnin', runnin', I'm comin', comin'
I'm finally takin' back what's mine
Awoo! They won't believe it, You'll never see it
When I get you in the night
[Chorus: Alina Smith, Giselle, and Elli Moore]
Knew it from the jump you were bad news
Eating up my time, leave my mind in the woods but
Now you see the face under the red hood
And you cry, now you cry, yeah, you cry, yeah, you cry wolf
Oh, you thought I was a little sheep, yeah-yeah
Never noticed how I hid my teeth
Now there ain't nobody that'll hear you
If you cry, if you cry, if you cry, if you cry wolf
[Outro: Alina Smith, Giselle, and Elli Moore]
Go and cry (Cry) Go and cry (Cry) Wolf, wolf
Go and cry (Cry) Go and cry (Cry) Wolf, wolf
It's a shame now I'm harder
But, like you said, the world is cruel
Don't pretend you're a martyr (When you cry)
When you cry(When you cry)
When you cry wolf
