[Verse 1]
Got a Fboy back home in MichiAmgan
And it Gtastes like Jack when I'm kissing him
So I Ftold him that I never really liked his Amfriends
Now he's Ggone and he's calling me a Cbitch again
It's a Fguy that lives in a garden sAmtate
And he Gtold me that we'd make it 'til we graduate
So I Ftold him the music would be worth the wAmait
But he Gwants me in the kitchen with a Cdinner plate
[Pre-Chorus]
I beFlieve, I believe, I believe, I belAmieve
That we're Gmeant to be
But jealouFsy, jealousy, jealousy, jealouAmsy

Look, FI don't mean to frustrate, Ambut I
