High Maintenance

DISCLAIMER: “High Maintenance” is my unapologetic celebration of confidence, glamour, sensuality, and knowing exactly what I bring to the room. I wanted to create a woman who never chases attention because attention naturally follows her. She is demanding, provocative, luxurious, and completely in control. Being “too much” is not an insult to her — it is the whole point. She knows her worth, makes her own rules, and never apologizes for taking up space. "Look, but don't touch. Actually... You couldn't afford it anyway." [Verse 1] Champagne dripping from the chandelier I walk in, suddenly the room gets clear Silk on my body, diamonds on my throat You came here to swim Baby, I'm the boat Red on my lips, black on my eyes I don't need wings to own the skies You call it ego, I call it fact If I want your attention I don't ask [Pre-Chorus] Click, click, cameras on me One little turn, now everybody sees Don't get nervous, don't lose your cool Pretty little thing I make my own rules [Chorus] High maintenance High, high maintenance Too much woman for your confidence I don't chase, I collect I don't beg, I select High maintenance No apologies Look at me Look at me I know exactly what you came to see Hands off, eyes on Baby, behave You can want me all night But I don't come tame [Post-Chorus] Ah-ah Watch me work Ah-ah Make it hurt Left, right Drop that bass I don't enter the room I replace the place [Verse 2] Perfume expensive, attitude worse You rehearse your lines I make you forget the verse One little smile and your plans go wrong Don't blame me, darling You stared too long I like my heels high Standards higher Walk through the room And adjust the fire No competition Don't flatter yourself If I'm the whole display You're still on the shelf [Pre-Chorus] Click, click, cameras on me One little turn, now everybody sees Don't get nervous, don't lose your cool Pretty little thing I make my own rules [Chorus] High maintenance High, high maintenance Too much woman for your confidence I don't chase, I collect I don't beg, I select High maintenance No apologies Look at me Look at me I know exactly what you came to see Hands off, eyes on Baby, behave You can want me all night But I don't come tame [Breakdown – Spoken] Do I intimidate you? Good. Bass. [Dance Break] Down, down, down Let the whole thing shake Down, down, down Give the floor a break Pose Turn Give them something to discuss If they came for a show Then the show is us [Bridge – Big Vocal] I don't need your permission I don't need your praise I was born with expensive taste And dangerous ways So say my name A little louder Say my name Like you mean it I said LOUDER! [Final Chorus] HIGH MAINTENANCE High, high maintenance Too much woman for your confidence I don't chase, I collect I don't beg, I select High maintenance No apologies LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME Give me every single eye on me Hands off, eyes on Baby, behave You can want me all night BUT I DON'T COME TAME [Outro – Spoken] Look, but don't touch. I wasn't asking.
