[Intro: JOY.]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh (Oh), ooh (Oh), ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh (Oh), oh (Oh, oh)
[Verse 1: The Kid LAROI]
I hope you know what you did to me
I'm grateful for what you did for me
You showed me that you ain't shit and these bitches is dangerous
Now I do 'em just how you did to me
And I know you see the pain in my eyes, every secret and lie
Got a reason to cry 'fore I sleep at night
I need my peace of mind, I see you fine
But I'm far from that, so—
[Pre-Chorus: The Kid LAROI]
Now I'ma be savage, but you made it happen
And you made a habit (I get it now)
I wonder what happened
I thought we would last 'til we turn into ashes
Burnin' and crashin'
Why can't I get past it? (Why can't I get past?)
Damn, girl, you changed up the best one
I just feel sorry for my next one
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh (Oh), ooh (Oh), ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh (Oh), oh (Oh, oh)

[Chorus: The Kid LAROI]
'Cause I'ma be selfish, I'm gon' be selfish
And no one can change my mind
No one can help me
Oh, I'm gon' be selfish, I'm gon' be selfish
And no one can change my mind
No one can help me
Oh, I'm gon' be—
[Verse 2: The Kid LAROI]
Bad, bad, bad
Because I just can't do this again
Don't wanna feel like this again
So she has to
Now I'm up in LA, I'm with a bitch from the Bay
I'm tellin' her that I love her, but my feelings are fake (Oh woah, woah)
Because I'll find another and I'll tell her the same
Knowin' that I don't mean a thing I say (Say)
[Pre-Chorus: The Kid LAROI]
Now I'ma be savage, but you made it happen
And you made a habit (I get it now)
I wonder what happened
I thought we would last 'til we turn into ashes
Burnin' and crashin'
Why can't I get past it? (Why can't I get past?)
Damn, girl, you changed up the best one
I just feel sorry for my next one
'Cause I'ma be selfish, I'm gon' be selfish
And no one can change my mind
No one can help me
Oh, I'm gon' be selfish, I'm gon' be selfish
And no one can change my mind
No one can help me
Oh, I'm gon' be—

No one can help me
Oh, I'm gon' be—
[Outro: JOY.]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Help me
You cannot help me
Oh-oh-oh, oh (Oh, oh)
You cannot save me, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
'Cause I'ma be selfish, I'm gon' be selfish
And no one can change my mind
No one can help me
Oh, I'm gon' be selfish, I'm gon' be selfish
And no one can change my mind
No one can help me
Oh, I'm gon' be—
[Outro: JOY.]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Help me
You cannot help me
Oh-oh-oh, oh (Oh, oh)
You cannot save me, oh, oh, oh
