I always thought you were so cool,

when you weren’t trying,

it was just us,

and I could tell you weren’t lying.

But you were a bad biotch,

and then you were savage.

And I never see you now,

you always turn me down.

You were my traitor,

that smooth operator,

and you always left me out.

You always broke your vow.

Out in the wild,

I learnt the world was full of,

people just like you.

All of them traitors,

smooth operators…

They never kept their vows,

they always turned me down.

Then I found her,

someone who’s the dream of you,

she removed her wolves hood,

and her suit.

Her arms stretched out wide,

she welcomed me with pride.

She realised she’s not a bad bitch,

not even savage,

and she took your vow,

she’ll never turn me down.

Never gonna leave me out.

Never gonna leave me now.
