Your dead to me
Your dead to me

I don't know what you been told
See, I am not your enemy, ooh-oh
But if there's one thing that I know
Is that you ain't a friend to me, ooh-oh

So don't come for me
Unless I send for you
Know you're dead to me
Just don't come for me
I won't send for you
Know you're dead to me
You're dead to me, oh

You're dead to me
You're obsessed, just let me go
You're dead to me
I'm not somebody you know
You're dead to me
Could you just leave me alone?
You're dead to me

What you say to me? I can't hear a thing
Try to talk some sense to myself, but I won't listen
I'm what God made of me
No need to pretend
It's okay to disagree, we don't have to be friends

See, you think you got problems with me?
But, baby, I don't even think about you
You're mad at everything I do
But, what are you up to? I haven't a clue
'Cause, baby, you're dead to me, why can't I be dead to you?
I think that we both know the truth

You're obsessed, just let it go
You're dead to me
You're obsessed, just let me go
You're dead to me
I'm not somebody you know
You're dead to me
Could you just leave me alone?
You're dead to me

Why can't you see you're dead to me?
Just let it be, you're dead to me

Why can't you see you're dead to me?
Just let it be, you're dead to me

You're obsessed, just let it go
You're dead to me
You're obsessed, just let me go
You're dead to me
I'm not somebody you know
You're dead to me
Could you just leave me alone?
Baby, you're dead to me
Baby, you're dead to me
