This song serves as a middle finger to the guy who just keeps on crawling back after a couple has broken up.
Hailee told Teen Vogue that this is the “ultimate revenge-fantasy song.”
“You’re Such A” is like, the ultimate revenge-fantasy song. I get to go up on stage and perform this song as if I’m that girl that looked at that guy and said “You had your chance and you blew it,” and mean it, and walk away. It’s that sass and power and confidence to say, “I’m over it.” During the couple of sessions that we recorded the song, we would be in the studio hanging out, and one of us would have a box of Tic-Tacs in our hand, shaking it, and we’d be like, “That sounds amazing, let’s record it!” and that goes into the song. It’s so fun because not a lot of people know that, but when I hear the song, I hear every little piece of laughter and fun that we had while recording it. And that’s kinda what I think about what I’m out on stage singing it."
You're Such A

Saying that you want it back
All my loving, all my loving
But you can't, you can't
You keep trying, you keep trying
With that sweet talk on your tongue
But I'm not buying, I'm not buying
I can't, I can't
'Cause you had your chance and you blew it
Yeah, you wrapped it out and you chewed it
And the more you talk, you prove it
Yeah, you prove it
Damn, you're such a
Did you think that I would let you
Crawl right back into my bedroom
After everything we've been through
I know the truth
That, damn, you're such a
Difficult little devil
Trying to put it back together
'Cause you see I'm doing better
Without you now
Damn, you're such a
Dadadadada dadadadada
Damn, you're such a
Dadadadada

And the more you talk, you prove it

You keep calling, you keep calling
You persistently call me, you persistently call me
Saying that you want it back
Telling me that you want what we used to have back

You want all the love that I used to give you
But you can't, you can't
But you're not capable of having it
You keep trying, you keep trying
You persistently try
With that sweet talk on your tongue
By using charming words
But I'm not buying, I'm not buying
But I'm not accepting it
I can't, I can't
I am unable to do so
'Cause you had your chance and you blew it
Because you had the opportunity and you ruined it
Yeah, you wrapped it out and you chewed it
You took it for granted and damaged it

Difficult little devil
A troublesome, mischievous person
Trying to put it back together
Attempting to fix things
'Cause you see I'm doing better
Because you see that I am doing well without you
Without you now
I am fine without you in my life currently
See you smoking, see you smoking
I see that you are smoking
Those electric cigarettes
Those electronic or vapor cigarettes
Are you joking? Are you joking?
Is this a joke or are you serious?
I can't, I can't
I am not able to handle this
You can take your lies to your next girlfriend
You can tell your lies to the next person you date
'Cause I don't want to hear it anymore
Because I am no longer interested in listening to it
And if you're all that's left when the whole world ends
And if you are the only person left when the world ends
No, I still don't want to hear it anymore
I still wouldn't want to listen to you
