You don′t have to act different around us
And I heard you want to be Ridgecrest
Go endless, go heaven
You don't have to act so jealous
I can tell by the way you look at us
And you want something you won′t get, huh?
Why you got to act so jealous?
(You want it, you want it, you want it, you want it)
Hella toxic, so precious
(You want it, you want it, you want it, you want it)
Why you got to act so headless?
(You want it, you want it, you want it, you want it)
Nothing much, nothing special
(You want it, you want it, you want it, you want it)
You want it (You want it)
You want it (You want it)
You want it (You want it)
You want it too much
You want it (You want it)
You want it (You want it)
You want it (You want it)
You want it too much
You want it (You want it)
You want it (You want it)
You want it (You want it)
You want it too much
You want it (You want it)
You want it (You want it)
You want it (You want it)
You want it too much
Why you got to act so jealous?
So toxic, so precious
Why you got to act so headless?
It's nothing special
You don′t have to act so jealous
I can tell by the way you look at us (Want it, want, it)
And you want something you won′t get, huh?
Oh, haven't you had more than enough?
You don′t have to act so jealous
I can tell by the way you look at us (Want it, want, it)
And you want something you won't get, huh?
Oh, haven′t you had more than enough?
Oh won't you wish me luck, love me or love me not
You don′t have to act so jealous, don't care what happens to us
I'll love you either way
It doesn′t have to be like this
And I don′t want to be your dream boy anymore
More than I care to admit
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you
