[Verse 1: Normani]
Now that I got your attention (Yeah)
You better listen up 'cause I got questions
So, why you late night textin'?
And why you likin' every pic of my best friend?
[Refrain: Normani]
Get ya, get ya, get ya shit together (Uh-huh)
Get ya, get ya, get ya shit together (Uh-huh)

No room for fools around me
Ayy, ayy, ayy
[Chorus: Dinah]
If you don't treat ya mama right, bye-bye, bye-bye
If you got another chick on the side, bye-bye, bye-bye
You look everywhere but my eyes, bye-bye, bye-bye
It's gonna be a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely night
Bye-bye

Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely night
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely night

You gon' get yourself in permanent detention (Uh)
You want my love and affection (Woo)
Then you better make a good impression
[Refrain: Lauren & Normani, Normani, Lauren, Ally]
Get ya, get ya, get ya shit together (Uh-huh)
Get ya, get ya, get ya shit together (Uh-huh)

That's the reason I'ma keep my distance
[Pre-Chorus: Dinah & Lauren]

Must be confused about me ('Bout me)
No room for fools around me ('Round me)
Ayy, ayy, ayy
[Chorus: Dinah, Lauren & Ally]
If you don't treat ya mama right, bye-bye, bye-bye
If you got another chick on the side, bye-bye, bye-bye (When you know I don't want you, baby)
You look everywhere but my eyes (Oh no), bye-bye, bye-bye
It's gonna be a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely night
Bye-bye (Bye-bye)
[Post-Chorus: Dinah & Normani, Lauren]

What I love about this song is the range of the musicality. I had never heard a song like this before, and that made me really happy. The transition of the production is just crazy.
