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.

Baby you should leave this girl alone

But you won't, won't, won't

But you don't, don't, don't

Now delete my number from your phone

But you won't-won't-won't

You gotta go, go, go

Oh my, my, my

Gonna spell it right out

I don't know what you're looking for

But I don't think it's me

I wish I could give you my all

Not good at make believe

I don't feel how you feel

I'm just telling it like it is

I don't need you to say those words over

I'm just telling it like it is

Boy, man up

You're not some animal

No no no, no no no

Rather die a thousand times tonight

Than take you home, than take you home

These walls I build, they're never coming down

I don't know what you're looking for

But I don't think it's me

I wish I could give you my all

Not good at make believe

I don't feel how you feel

I'm just telling it like it is

I don't need you to say those words over

I'm just telling it like it is

I'm not messed up baby, I'm not heartless

Just not ready to start looking for apartments

I'm into shopping but no baby departments

Bang, I tell it like it is

I'm not messed up baby, I'm not heartless

Just not ready to start looking for apartments

I'm into shopping but no baby departments

Bang, I tell it like it is, I tell it like it is

Cause I don't know what you're looking for

But I don't think it's me

I wish I could give you my all

Not good at make believe

I don't feel how you feel

I'm just telling it like it is

I don't need you to say those words over

I don't know what you're looking for

But I don't think it's me

I wish I could give you my all

Not good at make believe

I don't feel how you feel

I'm just telling it like it is

I don't need you to say those words over

I'm just telling it like it is
