Kesha admits her love/need for chaos in love and has made peace with it, telling her potential partners to take it or leave. She even doubts if she should be in relationships because of her instability.
[Verse 1]
Got the pendulum of emotions
Swingin' back and forth, I'm up and down like waves in the ocean
I got that kind of light, catches orbit
Pull you in but need my space, so fuckin' annoyin'
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I should learn to be alone
Maybe I could do this on my own, uh-huh
Maybe I should be a little less
I'm so fucking extra, it's a mess, uh-huh
Maybe I should stop and take a breath
Maybe I'm not makin' any sense, uh-huh
But I would be lyin' if I said I could do peace and quiet
[Chorus]
Lovin' me
Is runnin' into a house that's burnin' down, baby
Honestly
Make it out alive and you'll get the best of me
[Post-Chorus]
So get into it or get the fuck out
So gеt into it or get the fuck out
So get into it or gеt the fuck out
[Verse 2]
I am a Gravitron, always spinnin'
Maybe this is normal, goddamn, who am I kiddin'?
Holy spirit, am I a demon?
Baby, I'm the hero and I'm the fuckin' villain
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I should learn to be alone
Maybe I could do this on my own, uh-huh
Maybe I could stop and take a breath
Maybe I could love a little less, uh-huh
Who's really makin' all the rules?
Everybody talkin' through their tooths, uh-huh
I would be lyin' if I said I could do peace and quiet
[Chorus]
Lovin' me
Is runnin' into a house that's burnin' down, baby
Honestly
Make it out alive and you'll get the best of me
[Post-Chorus]
So get into it or get the fuck out
So get into it or get the fuck out
So get into it or get the fuck out
I would be lyin' if I said I could do peace and quiet
[Bridge]
Monday, I'm prayin'
Tuesday, I'm heinous
Wednesday, I'm stable
Thursday, I'm up to somethin'
Friday, I'm screamin'
When I'm a-sleepin'
Then by the weekend
I need a restrainin' order
[Outro]
So get into it or get the fuck out
So get into it or get the fuck out
So get into it or get the fuck out
I would be lyin' if I said (Shh)
