[Intro]
Can't just let your guard down and fall for someone anymore
That's what stupid girls do
Yeah, I've been a stupid girl
Four days away, in his arms I invest
He won't take my heart, but he'll take off my dress
Excuses rehearsed, I am blue, I am red
Fuck lookin' for love
I'ma stay doin' what us bitches do best
[Chorus]
Flip a switch on a prick, then I
Come alive in the nighttime
In the club, sippin' Hennessy
And tell him I'm dead if he callin' me
Flip a switch on a prick and I'm
A very sound bitch till you cross that line
Black heels, black shades, that my energy
Tell him I'm dead if he callin' me
[Verse 1]
You're a very silly man, block, block, mute chat
New addy in the sat, new dicks on tap
Got a best case, worst case, plan of attack
Got bitches, if they see you in the street, you're gettin' slapped
Don't threaten me or talk to me ever like that
I got brothers in the ends that'll pull up right now
You don't even wanna see the way I pull up right now
In my little black dress and my neck buss down how I (Hmm, hmm)
[Chorus]
Flip a switch on a prick, then I
Come alive in the nighttime
In the club, sippin' Hennessy
And tell him I'm dead if he callin' me
Flip a switch on a prick and I'm
A very sound bitch till you cross that line
Black heels, black shades, that my energy
Tell him I'm dead if he callin' me
[Verse 2]
Block you off too swift
Hit a ting I used to link who always texts back fast
And I would tell you kiss my ass, I know you wish that you could
Since the fuckery from my past, I tend to move on quick, I tend to move on good
Seasoned the speed, now I'm over the man who was sleepin' underneath me
Said I couldn't live without you when I loved you
Well, I lied and you shouldn't have believed me
Twenty-four hours in the bed and believe me, it's 'bout to get freaky
Only get to see me when you see me on a phone screen, G
You no longer know me, I no longer want you, you may never hold me
[Chorus]
Flip a switch on a prick, then I
Come alive in the nighttime
In the club, sippin' Hennessy
And tell him I'm dead if he callin' me (Ooh)
Flip a switch on a prick and I'm
A very sound bitch till you cross that line
Black heels, black shades, that my energy (That my energy)
Tell him I'm dead if he callin' me
[Bridge]
Ooh, oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no
Ooh, oh no, ooh, ah, oh
Only because I was in love, I opened up
Now I'll open up to your best friend, which one?
Bitch like me, I just had to flip the switch on you (Ooh)
[Chorus]
Flip a switch on a prick, then I
Come alive in the nighttime
In the club, sippin' Hennessy
And tell him I'm dead if he callin' me (Baby)
Flip a switch on a prick and I'm (Ooh)
A very sound bitch till you cross that line
Black heels, black shades, that my energy (That my energy)
Tell him I'm dead if he callin' me
[Outro]
Me, yeah, yeah-yeah
Ooh, ah, oh
Only because I was in love, I opened up
Now I'll open up to your best friend, which one?
Bitch like me, I just had to flip the switch on you
