Ha-ha-ha, I guess I didn't
Ja, ja, ja, supongo que no

Yo-yo-yo-pensé que te conocía
Fuck, baby, I-I guess I didn't
Joder, cariño, supongo que no lo hice.
I-I-I thought you was down for real
Yo-yo-pensé que estabas deprimido de verdad
Thought you would stick around for real
Pensé que te quedarías de verdad
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Misconstrued your love (Misconstrued your love)
Malinterpretaste tu amor (Malinterpretaste tu amor)
You confused my love
Confundiste mi amor
You givin' up (Up) on love (On love)
Te estás rindiendo (arriba) por amor (por amor)
Not to lose my love (Not to lose my love), yeah
No perder mi amor (No perder mi amor), sí
Honestly, I think this shit excites you
Sinceramente, creo que esta mierda te excita.
You love drama, it excites you
Te encanta el drama, te excita.
I-I liked you
Me-me gustaste
I-I-I-I don't think I'm talking to the right you
Yo-yo-yo-no creo que esté hablando contigo

Yo-yo-pensé que estabas deprimido de verdad (deprimido de verdad)
Thought you would stick around for real (For real)
Pensé que te quedarías aquí de verdad (de verdad)
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Tell me why you let me come inside for real
Dime por qué me dejaste entrar de verdad
Nevermind, you were never mine for real
No importa, nunca fuiste mía de verdad
Hit my line, I'ma hit decline for real
Golpea mi línea, voy a rechazar de verdad
I ain't tryin' for a second time for real
No lo intentaré por segunda vez de verdad
Honestly, I think this shit excites you (Excites you)
Sinceramente, creo que esta mierda te excita (Te excita)
All that drama that you're tied to (Ooh yeah)
Todo ese drama al que estás atado (Ooh, sí)
You play the victim every time, too (Oh, whoa)
También te haces la víctima todo el tiempo (Oh, espera)
That shit came back and hit you times two
Esa mierda regresó y te golpeó dos veces.
