Superficial Love Lyrics
[Intro]
(Ooh, ooh, oh)
(Ooh, ooh, oh)
[Verse 1]
You're really cute, I must admit
But I need something deeper than this
I wanna know when I'm looking at you
That you don't only see the things you want to
'Cause I'm not perfect, I'm flawed
And if you don't like that, get lost
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I don't want it if it's fake
I don't want it if it's just for show, for show
I just want it if it's real
And I'm thinking I should let you know, you know
[Chorus]
This superficial love thing got me going crazy
Baby, if you want me, then you better need me
'Cause I'm so done not being your number one
And if you wanna keep me, then you better treat me
Like a damn princess, make that an empress
'Cause I'm so done not being your number one
This superficial love
[Verse 2]
Fun at first, I won't deny
But I want more than just what meets the eye
I wanna know when you're looking at me
That you see deep into my personality
'Cause I want authentic, not just for fun
If this love is plastic, it'll all break on us
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I don't want it if it's fake
I don't want it if it's just for show
I just want it if it's real
And I'm thinking I should let you know
[Chorus]
This superficial love thing got me going crazy
Baby, if you want me, then you better need me
'Cause I'm so done not being your number one
And if you wanna keep me, then you better treat me
Like a damn princess, make that an empress
'Cause I'm so done not being your number one
This superficial love
[Bridge]
I can feel you on my lips all the time
But I just wanna feel you in my heart and on my mind
I can feel you on my lips all the time
But I just wanna feel you in my heart and on my mind
I can feel you on my lips all the time
But I just wanna feel you in my heart and on my mind
I can feel you on my lips all the time
And this ain't right
[Chorus]
This superficial love thing got me going crazy
Baby, if you want me, then you better need me
'Cause I'm so done (I'm so done) not being your number one (Not being your number one)
And if you wanna keep me, then you better treat me
Like a damn princess, make that an empress
'Cause I'm so done not being your number one
This superficial love
[Outro]
I can feel you on my lips all the time
But I just wanna feel you in my heart and on my mind
I can feel you on my lips all the time
And this ain't right, this superficial love

I was mad when I wrote “Superficial Love.” It was right in the heat of the moment—angry, annoyed, really annoyed, and just frustrated.
When all of this started happening for me, the whole music thing, a lot of people from my past started reaching out, pretending they were my friend. The whole “Reme...
How did Ruth B go about writing the lyrics?
This was one of those songs where I didn’t think too much about it. There’s some songs where you really think about structure and how you want it to sound, but this one was more just a stream of what was going through my brain at the time. It was more of a diary entry. I didn’t feel like I was writi...
How does Ruth feel about sharing such a personal story with the world?
My favorite part of songwriting is the fact that I can take a story about my life and have my own faces to it and my own memories, and then put it out there, and someone else that I’ve never met can take that same song and put their own stories, and their own faces, and their own memories to it.
