Petty
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm sorry for all the shit that I did
I was super creepin', all your girls should've known (should've known)
Now I'm havin' flashbacks when I had that
Thinkin' 'bout where it could've gone
So can we take it back to the beginnin'?
I know you can't forget, but am I forgiven?
And even though you called it quits, I wasn't finished
I'm ready to take you serious
Ain't playin' no games, I'm done
I'll treat you second to none
Make you my number one
But why you gotta be so petty?
Might have told a couple lies, too many
When you done playin', I'ma come get it
It won't end if we don't let it
But why you gotta bе so petty?
Might have told a couple liеs, too many
When you done playin', I'ma come get it
It don't gotta end if we don't let it
Baby, pick up your phone, yeah
Oh, why you got me over here alone? Yeah (alone)
How you only gonna give me one try?
Love only happens like that sometimes
My heart beat for you like a drumline, babe
Don't let our love run dry
I'm ready to take you serious
Ain't playin' no games, I'm done (yeah)
I'll treat you second to none
Make you my number one (but why?)
But why you gotta be so petty?
Might have told a couple lies, too many
When you done playin', I'ma come get it (oh)
It won't end if we don't let it (oh)
But why you gotta be so petty? (Why you gotta be?)
Might have told a couple lies, too many (oh)
And when you done playin', I'ma come get it (oh)
It don't gotta end if we don't let it (oh)
Baby, pick up your phone (yeah), yeah
Oh, why you got me over here alone? Yeah
How you put everything on me when you lie?
I don't point fingers, babe, I choose sides
Petty fightin', breakups
Then you blowin' my phone up
With your petty lies, bitch, grow up
Stop all the fightin', give up
Girl, I don't lie about who I love
Baby, I'm stuck
But why you gotta be so petty?
Might have told a couple lies, too many
When you done playin', I'ma come get it (oh)
It won't end if we don't let it (oh)
But why you gotta be so petty?
Might have told a couple lies, too many (yeah)
When you done playin', I'ma come get it (oh)
It don't gotta end if we don't let it
Baby, pick up your phone, yeah
Oh, why you got me over here alone? Yeah (alone)
