Big, Bold, Beautiful

I choose him, not you,
(nah… not you…)
’Cause my heart ain’t a playground for your lies.
You were sweet for a second,
But sweetness don’t build a life.
He’s the man who held me through storms,
Who stayed when the nights got ugly,
Who made me feel like a queen
Even when I was falling apart.
(mmm… real love don’t quit) [Pre-Hook] You brought fun,
(laughs fade, baby)
But he brought strength.
You were a spark,
I need a fire.
(yeah… fire, real fire) (Hook ) So I choose him, not you,
(I choose him… not you… never you)
’Cause he’s the ground my soul runs to.
You were a thrill I couldn’t keep,
But he’s the man who holds me deep.
You gave me a smile, a little taste,
He gave me a love I can’t replace.
I choose him…
(I choose him, yeah…)
I choose him, not you.
(not you… not you…) (Verse 2 – Confident & raw) You played like love was a game,
A little tease, a little fun.
But he stayed—he showed up—
Through every fight, every fall.
You were light, but he’s heavy—
Heavy with loyalty, heavy with truth.
(mmm… that’s what matters)
And I’m done settling for sparks,
I want flames that burn,
Not smoke that disappears. [Pre-Hook] You were a chapter,
Just a page I closed.
He’s the story,
The life I chose.
(yeah… I chose him) [Hook – Savage Repeat] I choose him, not you,
(not you… not you… ohhh)
’Cause he’s the ground my soul runs to.
You were a thrill I couldn’t keep,
But he’s the man who holds me deep.
You gave me a smile, a little taste,
He gave me a love I can’t replace.
I choose him…
(I choose him… yeah…)
I choose him, not you.
(not you… never you…) [Bridge – Fierce Mary J energy] You were the temptation,
But he’s the salvation.
You were the smoke,
He’s the fire I crave.
I’m done with half-love,
I’m done with “maybe” hearts.
(never again… no… never again)
I want real,
I want loyal,
I want him—
And I choose him. [Final Hook – Savage & powerful] **I choose him, not you,
(not you… not you… ohhh…)
Every lie, every fake smile,
I see through it all.
He’s the man who builds me,
Not the one who breaks me.
So I choose him…
(I choose him… yeahhh…)
I choose him, not you.
(not you… never you…)
I’m done playing small—
I’m done with you.
