[Intro] (Ukulele riff with a wicked bounce, heavy 808 drop) (Stuttering vocal sample: witch please… witch please…) (Ad-lib: yeah, they don't get it, and I love that) [Verse 1] They say it's just a phase, she'll grow out of the black But she's been casting spells since she learned to talk back She's got a grimoire in her backpack and a crystal in her bra And she'll hex your fucking ego while she's smoking in her car They say I'm wasting time on the girls who like the dark But I've never felt more seen than in a cemetery after dark She reads my natal chart like a map to my soul Then she laughs and says, "Baby, you were born to break the mold" [Pre-Chorus] They don't understand it, and they never fucking will But that's the point, we're magic, we don't need their bitter pill How do I keep attracting the ones who see beyond? Why am I so unbothered by the ones who don't belong? [Chorus] Witch, please, witch, please, I don't need your basic spell I've got a girl who'll meet me at the crossroads after hell She's got black nails and a backbone made of steel And she'll love me in the shadows where the real is real Witch, please, witch, please, keep your judgment to yourself We're too busy building altars out of all the shit you dealt How do I keep getting lucky with the witches and the weird? Why am I so magnetic? 'Cause I see what you can't hear [Verse 2] She'll burn sage in the bedroom and call it foreplay Then she'll paint a pentagram and tell me it's okay To be a little haunted, to be a little strange She says the only thing that's scary is a life that never changes They think she's just a gimmick, just a girl who wants attention But she's the only one who's ever seen my true dimension She's not trying to be different, she just doesn't fit the frame And I'm the luckiest motherfucker in the game [Pre-Chorus] They don't understand it, and they never fucking will But that's the point, we're magic, we don't need their bitter pill How do I keep attracting the ones who see beyond? Why am I so unbothered by the ones who don't belong? [Chorus] Witch, please, witch, please, I don't need your basic spell I've got a girl who'll meet me at the crossroads after hell She's got black nails and a backbone made of steel And she'll love me in the shadows where the real is real Witch, please, witch, please, keep your judgment to yourself We're too busy building altars out of all the shit you dealt How do I keep getting lucky with the witches and the weird? Why am I so magnetic? 'Cause I see what you can't hear [Bridge] (Stripped back, ukulele and soft claps, delivery sharp and playful) They say, "Why so dark? Why so strange? Why so cold?" We say, "Why so scared of what you can't control?" She's my spooky little miracle, my beautiful blasphemy And I'll take her over normal any day, you fucking sheep She'll cast a circle in the kitchen, I'll bring the cheap champagne We'll toast to all the basic bitches who'll never know our names How do we keep winning when they say we'll never last? Because we found the kind of magic that the world can't grasp [Final Chorus] (Full energy, gang vocals on "witch, please") Witch, please, witch, please, I don't need your basic spell I've got a girl who'll meet me at the crossroads after hell She's got black nails and a backbone made of steel And she'll love me in the shadows where the real is real Witch, please, witch, please, keep your judgment to yourself We're too busy building altars out of all the shit you dealt How do I keep getting lucky with the witches and the weird? Why am I so magnetic? 'Cause I see what you can't hear [Outro] (Ukulele fades, stuttering vocal sample: witch please… witch please…) (One final 808 hit, then silence)
