[Verse 1] I’m not mad, I’m not bitter, I know I’m not the main character. I can laugh, I can dance, I can watch you choose somebody else again. I’ve gotten pretty good at saying, “Baby, it’s okay, I’m used to waiting.” But underneath this glitter and noise, I’m just a girl wishing she had a choice. [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need the spotlight, I don’t need your whole life, I just wanna know what it feels like To hear you say my name first tonight. [Chorus] Just one fucking time, baby, choose me first, Let me be the one you want before it hurts. I don’t wanna fight, I don’t wanna compete, I just wanna be the girl you run to when you need. I can take second, I can take last, I can laugh it off like the moment passed. But just one fucking time, let me be your choice— Baby, let me hear you say my name first. [Verse 2] I’m throwing my hands up, dancing like crazy, Pretending I don’t care who you’re calling lately. Lip gloss shining, tears on my cheeks, Damn, I’m getting tired of being “maybe” every week. And yeah, I’ll cheer you on, Even when you choose somebody else. But tell me, baby, honestly— When do I get chosen for myself? [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need forever, I don’t need a crown, I just want one night Where you don’t look around. [Chorus] Just one fucking time, baby, choose me first, Let me be the one you want before it hurts. I don’t wanna fight, I don’t wanna compete, I just wanna be the girl you run to when you need. I can take second, I can take last, I can laugh it off like the moment passed. But just one fucking time, let me be your choice— Baby, let me hear you say my name first. [Bridge — beat drops] Maybe I’m not asking for too much, Maybe I just haven’t met the right one. Someone who looks across the room And doesn't need to think before they choose. No more “maybe,” No more “someday,” No more watching you walk away… Just once, baby— pick me. [Final Chorus — huge and euphoric] JUST ONE FUCKING TIME, BABY, CHOOSE ME FIRST! Let me be the one you want before it hurts! I’ll dance all night, I’ll scream your name, I don't need a perfect love, I just want you to stay! I’ve been second, I’ve been last, I’ve been the girl you remember after the fact. But just one fucking time, let me be your choice— BABY, LET ME HEAR YOU SAY MY NAME FIRST! [Outro — laughing through tears] I’m not asking to be everything… I just wanna be your first thing just once… choose me first.
