[Verse 1]
You've been lyin', seen it in your eyes
I've been tryna save ya
I'm so tired, can't make up my mind
Should I walk away now?
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't wanna wait for you to say
That I should've never stayed
But I can't seem to get myself to walk away
I'm out of place, I'll just walk the other way
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't want nobody
Touch me the way that you do, no
I won't let nobody love me
The way that you do, way that you do
Tell me your lies
[Post-Chorus]
Stoppin', runnin' through my mind
That be playin' in my mind like a record player
But we don't wanna die
I'll be getting on my knees, can you be my savior?
I don't wanna know
I don't really wanna know who you're fuckin' for favors
Tell me pretty lies (Keep on lying to my face)
[Verse 2]
I'll just close my eyes, I didn't see a thing
All your secrets, I'm gon' keep 'em safe (Oh-woah)
I'll dance around the truth, it's like I'm celebrating
Celebrating, getting my heart broke, broke for love
All I know is, I can't get enough
[Pre-Chorus]
So do your thing, girl
Play with luck, sits on your side
I'm your ride or die
[Chorus]
'Cause I don't want nobody
Touch me the way that you do, no
I won't let nobody love me
The way that you do, way that you do
Tell me your lies
[Post-Chorus]
Stoppin', runnin' through my mind
That be playin' in my mind like a record player
But we don't wanna die
I'll be getting on my knees, can you be my savior?
I don't wanna know
I don't really wanna know who you're fuckin' for favors
Tell me pretty lies, keep on lying to my face
[Outro]
No way, want me to break
I'll be okay
