COPYCAT (Live from The Hi Hat) Lyrics
Don't be cautious, don't be kind
You committed, I'm your crime
Push my button anytime
You got your finger on the trigger, but your trigger finger's mine
[Verse 2]
Silver dollar, golden flame
Dirty water, poison rain
Perfect murder, take your aim
I don't belong to anyone, but everybody knows my name
[Pre-Chorus]
By the way, you've been uninvited
'Cause all you say are all the same things I did
[Chorus]
Copycat tryna cop my manner
Watch your back when you can't watch mine
Copycat tryna cop my glamor
Why so sad, bunny? Can't have mine
[Verse 3]
Call me calloused, call me cold
You're italic, I'm in bold
Call me cocky, watch your tone
You better love me, 'cause you're just a clone
By the way, you've been uninvited
'Cause all you say are all the same things I did
[Chorus]
Copycat tryna cop my manner
Watch your back when you can't watch mine
Copycat tryna cop my glamor
Why so sad, bunny? Can't have mine
[Bridge]
Mine
I would hate to see you go
Hate to be the one that told you so
You just crossed the line
You've run out of time
I'm so sorry, now you know
Sorry I'm the one that told you so
Sorry, sorry, I'm sorry, sorry
Psych
[Pre-Chorus]
By the way, you've been uninvited
'Cause all you say are all the same things I did
[Chorus]
Copycat tryna cop my manner
Watch your back when you can't watch mine
Copycat tryna cop my glamor
Fuck all that, bitch
You can't have mine
About
On August 10th, 2017, one day before Billie Eilish’s debut EP, dont smile at me would be released, a live version of “COPYCAT” was performed at The Hi-Hat in Los Angeles, California. The performance was professionally recorded, and uploaded to Eilish’s official Vevo YouTube channel one month later.

— Billie Eilish via Facebook.
Yes, for this particular performance of “COPYCAT”, Billie sang first-draft lyrics during the final verse—
Fuck all that bitch, you can’t have mine
Interestingly however, this performance lacks a staple that would be included in later incarnations of “COPYCAT” live— the addition of “bitch”, screamed after “psych!”
