This song was released as a promotional single a week ahead of the release of her fourth studio album, “good to know”. Lyrically the song is a story of self-improvement and self-love for people who struggle with codependency.
[Verse 1]
I know myself well
I know just what to do with my own touch
I can spray my Chanel
In this empty hotel king bed at the Roosevelt
[Pre-Chorus]
Where I can't abuse my trust
Switch up and ghost on us
I cannot fuck me up like you
I'm insecure enough
And so tired of guessin' if you care
[Chorus]
How can I work on me if I'm working on your body? (Working on your body)
I thought we were meant to be, but we never really got it, did we?
I know one thing
Lonely hearts won't break (No)
Hearts won't break (No)
Lonely hearts won't break (No)
Hearts won't break (No)
Hearts won't break
[Verse 2]
I could pick up the phone right now
And make that 2 AM call, I know just what to say
But that ain't what I need right now
And I won't let my wants get in my way
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you might abuse my trust (Oh)
Switch up and ghost on us
I cannot fuck me up like you
I'm insecure enough (Oh)
And I don't need to be guessin' if you care
[Chorus]
How can I work on me if I'm working on your body? (Working on your body, oh no)
I thought we were meant to be, but we never really got it, did we?
I know one thing
Lonely hearts won't break (No)
Hearts won't break (No)
Lonely hearts won't break (No)
Hearts won't break (Oh, no)
[Bridge]
I'm likin' bein' alone
Emotions under control
Right now is only for me (Me)
Just tryna find myself
I don't need nobody's help
So don't take it personally
[Chorus]
Oh, I know one thing
Lonely hearts won't break (No)
Hearts won't break (No)
Lonely hearts won't break (No)
Hearts won't break (No)
[Outro]
Me if I'm working—
Working on your body
Me if I'm working—
Me if I'm working—
Me if I'm working on your body
Me if I'm working—
Me
