Petty
[Chorus]
You had it out from the moment you met me
Runnin' your mouth, aren't you tired already?
You let me down, so I'll let you down gently
We could be friends, but you're way too—
[Verse 1]
Calculated, you move your lips and it sounds automated
Oh, you're a queen bee without the hive, now it's comin' to light
Two-faced, you sing my songs but call them overrated
Oh, damn, I'm so done with your lies, no tears fall when you cry (Ah)
[Pre-Chorus]
This is a losing game, and frankly I don't wanna play
Clearly you have somethin' to say, then say, say it right now
[Chorus]
You had it out from the moment you met me
Runnin' your mouth, aren't you tired already?
You let me down, so I'll let you down gently
We could be friends, but you're way too (Petty)
[Post-Chorus]
Petty-etty, petty-etty, way too—
Petty-etty, petty-etty, you're way too—
Petty-etty, petty-etty
Oh, we could be friends, but you're way too—
[Verse 2]
Hot-headed, one thing goes wrong, you act like Armageddon
Oh, I keep dodgin' all the mines, pretendin' like it's fine
(But it's not, you're a lot) (Ah)
[Pre-Chorus]
This is a losing game, and frankly I don't wanna play
Clearly you have somethin' to say, then say, say it right now
[Chorus]
You had it out from the moment you met me
Runnin' your mouth, aren't you tired already?
You let me down, so I'll let you down gently
We could be friends, but you're way too (Petty)
[Post-Chorus]
Petty-etty, petty-etty, way too—
Petty-etty, petty-etty, you're way too—
Petty-etty, petty-etty
Oh, we could be friends, but you're way too—
[Bridge]
Pretty to be actin' like that
Smilin' in my face all while the knife is in my back
I'll watch you build a house of cards and let it all collapse
I'll sit back and laugh, I'll sit back and laugh
[Chorus]
You had it out from the moment you met me (Met me)
Runnin' your mouth, aren't you tired already? (Tired already)
You let me down, so I'll let you down gently (Down gently)
We could be friends, but you're way too (Petty)
[Post-Chorus]
Petty-etty, petty-etty, way too— (Oh, you're way too)
Petty-etty, petty-etty, you're way too— (Way too)
Petty-etty, petty-etty (Oh)
Oh, we could be friends, but you're way too—
