[FEMALE LEAD ONLY] [CONFIDENT, PLAYFUL, RHYTHMIC] [HOOK IN FIRST 15 SECONDS] [CONTINUOUS ARRANGEMENT — NO FALSE ENDINGS] [REAL BASS + MODERN PERCUSSION] [NO LONG INTRO] [Cold Open] You thought I was gonna what? [beat] Oh. That's your problem. [BASS SLAMS IN] [Chorus] You thought I'd say yes— that's your problem. Thought I'd change plans— that's your problem. Thought because you like it I was automatically on it? Mm-mm. That's your problem. I never said it. You decided. Now you're looking at me like I'm supposed to apologize. Baby— that's your problem. [4-BAR BASS HOOK] [Verse 1] You built a whole little story off a look across the room. Had the ending picked already before I even knew. Now you're giving me the reasons why your version should be true. That's a lot of preparation for a meeting I never knew we had. [beat] Cute. But no. [Pre-Chorus] Don't hand me expectations with my name already on 'em. You ordered those yourself. [beat strips] Keep the receipt. [Chorus] You thought I'd come through— that's your problem. Thought I'd play along— that's your problem. Thought because you called it I was automatically on it? Nope. That's your problem. I never promised. You assumed it. Don't put your imagination on my tab and call it honest. That's your problem. [INSTRUMENTAL — 8 BARS] [THICK BASS RIFF] [PERCUSSION ANSWERS] [Verse 2 — rhythmic] Maybe I will. Maybe I won't. Maybe I was till you told me I don't. Tell me what I think and watch me change my mind. Not to make a point— I just suddenly don't like the idea. Funny how that works. [PRE-CHORUS — MELODIC] You can ask me. That's allowed. Just don't answer for me out loud. [DROP TO BASS] [Chorus — BIGGEST] You thought you knew me— that's your problem. Thought you had me mapped— that's your problem. I'm not hard to understand, you just skipped the part where you ask. That's your problem. No fight. No drama. No twenty-minute scene. You can keep your expectations. Just don't hand 'em back to me. [BRIDGE — MUSIC STRIPS] Wait. You thought I was mad? [beat] See? You're doing it again. [BASS + DRUMS HIT] [FINAL HOOK] That's your— that's your— [stop] No. I'm not finishing it for you. You know. [16-BAR INSTRUMENTAL PAYOFF] [Outro] Ask next time. It's easier. [GROOVE OUT]
