[Verse 1]
You used to kiss me in the morning right before you went to work
She used to call me late at night and tell me 'bout the boys she hurt
Now you're hanging with your friends, ones you told me you can't stand
Saying things about me that you used to say about them
Now your tongue is down a throat, that girl you said you didn't know
Said you can't commit but you clearly can commit to her
[Pre-Chorus]
She's such a has-been
Ate her up I'm done with that, ah
She's the girl that's in the past, ah (Bye bye)
But I'm still a bad bitch (A bad bitch)
Throw a punch right in my face, ah
You know what, I like the pain, ha!
[Chorus]
Hey hey, I don't really give a damn what they say
'Cause I know just who I am and Imma go and do my own thing baby
You can go and livе your life without me
Hey hеy, maybe you don't understand my language
Do I need to spell it out like F-star-C-K Y-O-U
I'll do me so you do you
[Verse 2]
You used to tell me "You're a star, and soon the world will know your name"
"You'll have the money, credit cards, your name will make the hall of fame" (Yuh)
Now you're telling that to her and a hundred other girls
Crushing dreams, making millions, put it in your pocket (Fuck you)
Pack 'em up and dress 'em well, put on a conveyor belt
Same old story, you're so boring
[Pre-Chorus]
She's such a has-been
Ate her up I'm done with that, ah
She's the girl that's in the past, ah
But I'm still a bad bitch
Throw a punch right in my face, ah
You know what, I like the pain, ha!
[Chorus]
Hey hey, I don't really give a damn what they say
'Cause I know just who I am and Imma go and do my own thing baby
You can go and live your life without me
Hey hey, maybe you don't understand my language
Do I need to spell it out like F-star-C-K Y-O-U
I'll do me so you do you
[Bridge]
Yeah
Don't you think you're a bit of a ...
Hey hey, I don't really give a damn what they say
'Cause I know just who I am and Imma go and do my own thing baby
You can go and live your life without me
Hey hey, maybe you don't understand my language
Do I need to spell it out like F-star-C-K Y-O-U
I'll do me so you do you, aah!
[Chorus]
Hey hey, I don't really give a damn what they say
'Cause I know just who I am and Imma go and do my own thing baby
You can go and live your life without me
Hey hey, maybe you don't understand my language
Do I need to spell it out like F-star-C-K Y-O-U
I'll do me so you do you
