But you should've been paying attention to what happens when you stop treating her good. [Low 808 rises] Yeah. I don't stay sweet forever. [Verse 1 — intimate, restrained] You liked me better when I was patient. When I made excuses for you. When I swallowed what I wanted to say just to keep the peace in the room. You called me understanding when I was actually exhausted. Called me loving when I was learning how to disappear. I gave you the soft parts of me because I thought you'd protect them. I didn't know you were testing how far you could push me. [quiet electric guitar enters] And I kept thinking if I loved you better, you'd remember why you loved me. [Pre-Chorus — building] But there's a line in me you don't get to cross twice. The first time I called it forgiveness. The second time... I called it information. [808 pulse] Now I know exactly who I'm dealing with. [Chorus — huge, melodic, cinematic] You want a good girl until you turn disrespectful. Until you flip that switch and forget who you're talking to. You want my sweetness until you mistake it for weakness. You want me quiet until you give me a reason not to be. Baby, I can love you with everything I've got. But don't confuse my heart for something you can keep stepping on. You wanted a good girl. You should've treated her like one. [Female backing vocal: “Like one.”] [Post-Chorus — rap/ad-lib response] Oh, you flipped that switch. Yeah. That's on you. Sweetheart turned savage. Don't act surprised. [808 drop] [Verse 2 — stronger, conversational] I know how you look at me now. Like you're waiting for the old version. The one who'd cry in the bathroom then come back and say she was fine. She's gone. Not because I stopped caring. Because I finally started caring about what happens to me. I don't need to scream. I don't need to threaten you. I don't need a room full of people to know I'm done. I'll look you dead in the eyes and tell you the truth. Then I'll leave. And that's the part you never thought I'd do. [Pre-Chorus — tension] You thought I'd keep forgiving because I kept loving. You thought my patience had no expiration date. But even mercy has a boundary. And you found mine. [Chorus — bigger] You want a good girl until you turn disrespectful. Until you flip that switch and forget who you're talking to. You want my sweetness until you mistake it for weakness. You want me quiet until you give me a reason not to be. Baby, I can love you with everything I've got. But don't confuse my heart for something you can keep stepping on. You wanted a good girl. You should've treated her like one. [Bridge — stripped, vulnerable] I don't want revenge. That's the part you don't understand. I wanted you to be better. I wanted us to be better. I wanted to believe the man I loved was still in there. [silence] But I can't keep loving the version of you that only exists when you're sorry. [low guitar note] And I can't keep shrinking so you can feel big. [Breakdown — drums disappear] You want a good girl... [whispered backing vocal] Good girl. Until you turn disrespectful. [808 hit] And flip that switch. [female rap vocal] Wrong one. [Lead] You thought I wouldn't push back. [Backing] Wrong one. [Lead] Thought I'd stay quiet. [Backing] Wrong one. [Lead — nearly spoken] You don't get to hurt me and then decide how I heal. [Final Chorus — massive] You want a good girl until you turn disrespectful. Until you flip that switch and forget who you're talking to. You want the woman who forgives everything. But I'm still the woman who finally learned to leave. I can be soft. I can be fire. I can love you and still walk away. You don't get to call me crazy because I stopped accepting pain. You wanted a good girl. You should've treated her like one. [Backing vocals] Like one. Like one. You should've treated her like one. [Outro — intimate, almost sweet] I'm not angry anymore. That's how I know I'm serious. You lost the girl who kept making excuses for you. And somewhere along the way... I found her again. [Soft guitar] She's still sweet. She's just not yours anymore. [Final sub-bass hit]
