breadwinner
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.
Here's what he'll do: He'll play it cool
When he hangs out with a woman like you
Say he's impressed of all your success
Tell you he's different than all of the rest
You're gonna give it all and give it all
But you won't get it back
I'm tellin' you it's gonna hurt
Stay away from a boy like that
He wants a breadwinner
He wants your dinner until
He ain't hungry anymore
He wants your shimmer in me
And feel bigger until
He starts feeling insecure
I wish somebody would've told me the truth
Say he's never gonna know what to do
With a woman like you, with a woman like you
I see the games, a mile away
They're only in when another heart breaks
But all of his wounds ain't an excuse
For you to put up with how he treats you
You're gonna give it all and give it all
But you won't get it back
I'm tellin' you it's gonna hurt
Stay away from a boy like that
He wants a breadwinner
He wants your dinner until
He ain't hungry anymore
He wants your shimmer in me
And feel bigger until
He starts feeling insecure
I wish somebody would've told me the truth
Say he's never gonna know what to do
With a woman like you, with a woman like you
I can sleep at night
Knowing that I really tried
I put in the time
But the fault isn't mine
That he wants a breadwinner
He wants your dinner until
He ain't hungry anymore (anymore)
He wants a breadwinner
He wants your dinner until
He ain't hungry anymore (anymore)
He wants your shimmer in me
And feel bigger until
He starts feeling insecure
I wish somebody would've told me the truth
Say he's never gonna know what to do
With a woman like you, with a woman like you
With a woman like you and me
He likes what he sees
