Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can′t stand hanging up, on you
I slumped my shit down, my eyes are on you
I feel like you can't stand the shit they say online
(I fucking hate you Skai fuck you)

I don′t mind standing up, for you
Ain't no other bitch around here that know that I'm on you
Let′s see how long it takes, to change your mind

Come when the street lights on (come when the street lights on)
I shouldn′t be outside (I shouldn't be outside)
Cause they want my head
And I can′t lose my life
Before I get to you

I'm not no womanizer
Look me in my eyes
You know I ain′t lying
I can't just womanize
Keep up the lie

Cause I don′t got the time
I'm not no womanizer
Look me in my eyes
You know I ain't lying
Why would I lie?
Look me in my eyes

I′m no womanizer, womanizer, womanizer
I can′t just
Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer
I can't just
Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer
I can′t just
Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer
I can't just

Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer
I can′t just
Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer
I can't just
Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer
I can′t just
Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer

Be my only therapist
Baby I know you can't miss
Whenever you leave I'm sick
Can you be my medicine?
I told you to let me in
I′m going through everything
I feel like I lost my ribs
I feel like I lost my ribs

Be my only therapist
Baby I know you can′t miss
Whenever you leave I'm sick
Can you be my medicine?
I told you to let me in
I′m going through everything

I feel like I lost my ribs
I feel like I lost, lost
