“Salt” is a song about avoiding infidelity–about how someone being attractive or charming doesn’t necessarily mean they’re in it for the long run. It’s a cautionary tale to men, but it applies to everyone–just because someone’s cute doesn’t mean they’re an amazing human being!
[Verse 1]
Girl on a mission
Just tryna turn some heads
She needs attention
Look at that look-at-me dress
Her kinda trouble should come
With a warning sign (Don't let her fool you, don't be a fool)
[Verse 2]
She act like she don't notice
That left hand, band of gold
Got that money motive
Will wreck a happy home
Yeah, there's a snake takin' names
In the bar tonight (Don't let her fool you, don't be a fool)
[Chorus]
Yeah, she'll break your heart
Like it doesn't matter
Yeah, she'll play the part
Just to climb the ladder
She's got you blind but I see it all
You think you're getting sugar
But boy, you're getting salt
[Verse 3]
She'll let you kiss her
But it comes with a price
That sweet gets bitter
Then she's cold as ice
Her kinda trouble should
Come with a warning sign (A warning sign)
[Chorus]
Yeah, she'll break your heart
Like it doesn't matter
Yeah, she'll play the part
Just to climb the ladder
She's got you blind but I see it all
You think you're getting sugar
But boy, you're getting salt
[Bridge]
Yeah, she's (Fake, fake, fake) as the extensions that she's wearing
(Stay, stay, stay) Far away 'cause she don't care and
She'll tie you down then cut you loose
Pours on the sugar then salt in your wounds
[Chorus]
Yeah, she'll break your heart
Like it doesn't matter
Yeah, she'll play the part
Just to climb the ladder
She's got you blind but I see it all
You think you're getting sugar
But boy, you're getting salt
[Outro]
Oh, oh
Mixing up the sugar, no, no

There’s always male-bashing songs, but I wanted it to be like a cautionary tale to men. Like, “Look, there’s a lot of pretty women out there, but you got to remember what you got at home.” I think that’s something that so many women relate to. We’re sitting at home, and I trust my man, but I can’t i...
