Shoo-wop, shoo-do-do, shoo-wop
What a waste of time, you and your excuses
I called you a friend, but friends aren't like you
They don't lie to my face
They don't play all these games
They don't act like everything's okay
Well, maybe I'm sensitive (I'm sensitive)
Or I've had enough
If you don't know what you did (don't know what you did)
Then you fucked this up
Go put the blame on me
Whatever helps you sleep
You say I'm sensitive (I say you're)
While I say you're (full of it)
You're full of it (full of it)
Full of it (full of it)
Ohh
I say you're (full of it)
Full of it (full of it)
Full of it (full of it)
Mmh
Please don't go takin' my kindness for weakness
I won't shed a tear while I watch you leavin'
'Cause you lied ('cause you lied) to my face (to my face)
And you played (and you played) all your games (all your games)
And you act like everything's okay
While I'm still in pain
Well, fuck it, I'm sensitive (I'm sensitive)
Or I've had enough
If you don't know what you did (don't know what you did)
Then you fucked this up
Go put the blame on me
Whatever helps you sleep
You say I'm sensitive (I say you're)
While I say you're (full of it)
You're full of it (full of it)
Full of it (full of it)
Ohh
I say you're (full of it)
Full of it (full of it)
Full of it (full of it)
Ohh-oh, yeah
And don't get defensive
Like you never meant it
Pack up your baggage and go, go, go, oh
'Cause I'm good without this
So let me be selfish
I don't need no fake friends no more
(I don't need no fake friends no more) ooh
Well, fuck it, I'm sensitive
Or I've had enough
If you don't know what you did
Then you fucked this up
Go put the blame on me
Whatever helps you sleep
You say I'm sensitive (I say you're)
While I say you're (full of it)
You're full of it (full of it)
Full of it (full of it)
Ohh-oh
I say you're (full of it)
You're full of it (full of it)
Full of it (full of it)
Ohh-oh
The lyrics to "Sensitive" by Meghan Trainor ft. Scott Hoying depict a relationship in which the singer feels betrayed and hurt by someone they considered a friend. The song expresses the singer's frustration with this person's dishonesty and manipulative behavior. The opening lines of "Shoo-wop, shoo-wop" establish a nostalgic doo-wop sound that adds a touch of irony to the lyrics, contrasting the upbeat melody with the underlying themes of deception and pain.
The chorus reveals the singer's vulnerability and sensitivity, suggesting that the hurt caused by this person has been significant. They question whether their reaction is justified or if they have simply reached their limit with the mistreatment. The repeated phrase "full of it" represents the singer's feelings toward the person, emphasizing their belief that this individual is disingenuous and unreliable.
In the second verse, the singer asserts their strength and resilience, refusing to let the person's actions bring them down. They make it clear that they won't be fooled or taken advantage of, challenging the person to take responsibility for their actions instead of deflecting blame onto the singer. The bridge reinforces the singer's newfound independence and self-assurance, declaring that they don't need fake friends in their life anymore.
Overall, "Sensitive" serves as an anthem for anyone who has experienced betrayal or deceit in a relationship, empowering listeners to recognize their worth and walk away from toxic connections.

@22taylorsversion9
SHE'S A GENIOUS. A full acapella song on a mainstream pop album. I hate how people never talk about her creativity. Standout track!
@pr3ttyboynekko
didn’t even pay attention to it being an acapella 😭 that is how good the harmonies are
@charbelafif
@Kendrick Mason wth i didnt realize
@joashexe3840
You know it's Scott Hoying from Pentatonix's brains, arrangement and concepts right? That's why his name is in there as a featuring.
@22taylorsversion9
@Joash Exe his name is there bc he helped to write it and is doing background vocals, but Meghan said she had every song and concept written by herself before going into the studio with her team, so Scott didn't come up with any idea he just helped with the lyrics
@mosaicbrokenhearts.
@Kendrick Mason I know, I didn’t realize it was until I read this comment!
@jejealbert
