(Shoo-be-doo, who do you think you're fooling?) (Shoo-be-doo, oh honey, please!) [Verse] I know the currency of every room I walk into Who wants leverage, who wants applause, and who is passing through (Passing right through!) I’ve spent years cataloguing every subtle tell The angle of a practiced smile, the stories people sell (They're selling you lies!) I can spot an angle from a hundred miles away Because nobody offers kindness without asking you to pay! (Gotta pay the price, girl!) [Pre-Chorus] So why am I staring at a ledger with no debt? Searching for a catch that hasn't surfaced yet? (Looking for a catch!) He doesn't play the angles, doesn't hide behind a mask He just holds the door open and doesn't even ask! (Tell 'em girls!) [Chorus] It’s much easier to deal with a villain than a fool! (You know it is!) At least a villain plays by a predictable rule! (By the book, honey!) Give me poison in a chalice, give me knives behind the grin Just don’t bring sincerity and ask me to give in! (Don't give it up!) I built these walls for combat, not for someone being sweet And it's throwing me completely off my feet! (Swept right off her feet!) [Verse] I’ve survived the double-cross, I’ve navigated spite I know how to keep my balance when I’m cornered in a fight (She can hold her own!) I expect the sleight of hand, the trap door on the floor I was ready for a war, not a key inside the door! He looks at me like someone worth defending from the start Which is far more dangerous than anyone who tried to break my heart! (Watch your step, honey!) [Pre-Chorus] Because I’m staring at a ledger with no debt Waiting for the motive that hasn't landed yet! (No motive in sight!) He doesn't want my loyalty, he doesn't want a prize He just stands there in the daylight with no shadows in his eyes! (No shadows, no lies!) [Chorus] It’s much easier to deal with a villain than a fool! (So much easier!) At least a villain plays by a predictable rule! (Predictable rule!) Give me poison in a chalice, give me knives behind the grin Just don’t bring sincerity and ask me to give in! (Don't you dare give in!) I built these walls for combat, not for someone being sweet And it's throwing me completely off my feet! (Swept right off her feet!) [Bridge] (Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh) I don’t know what to do with open hands I only know the architecture of demands (Heavy demands...) If this is all a game, then I can win it like before ...But what if it's the truth? What am I defending anymore?! (Whatcha defending now, girl?!) [Chorus] It’s much easier to deal with a villain than a fool! (Villain than a fool!) At least a villain plays by a predictable rule! (Predictable rule!) Give me poison in a chalice, give me knives behind the grin Just don’t bring sincerity and ask me to give in! (Face it, you're giving in!) I built these walls for combat, not for someone being sweet And it's throwing me completely off my feet! (Swept right off her feet!) [Outro] No leverage. (None at all!) No hidden angle. (Squeaky clean, baby!) Just... genuine. How completely inconvenient. (She's a goner!) (Shoo-be-doo, girl, you're in love......)
