[Intro] You want me now? Funny. [Verse 1] One text Two text Three in a row Where was that energy Two weeks ago? Come close Pull back Same old move You like me better When I’ve got nothing to prove Hot, cold Back, forth Pick a side You don’t get access Whenever you like Too late Too bad Look at me You only want me When I’m trying to leave [Pre-Chorus] Every time I step back You step in Every time I’m done You begin Soon as I finally Get what I need There you are There you are There you— [Chorus] You only want me when I leave Want me when I’m out of reach Had me right there, didn’t see Now you can’t get enough of me You only want me when I leave Want me when I’m out of reach Had me right there, didn’t see Now you can’t get enough of me [Drop] [swung four-on-the-floor] [huge organ bass riff] [syncopated sub] “Want me—want me—” “When I leave” [bass hit] “Want me—want me—” “When I leave” [beat cuts] Too late. [DROP] [Verse 2] Ring once Ring twice Let it die You had all night Don’t ask me why My turn Your loss Feels alright Funny how clear Everything gets overnight No chase No games No maybe You don’t get points For almost choosing me One step Two steps Three Now you’re running Just to catch up to me [Pre-Chorus] Every time I step back You step in Every time I’m done You begin Soon as I finally Get what I need There you are There you are There you— [Chorus] You only want me when I leave Want me when I’m out of reach Had me right there, didn’t see Now you can’t get enough of me You only want me when I leave Want me when I’m out of reach Had me right there, didn’t see Now you can’t get enough of me [Drop] [heavier speed garage groove] [distorted kick] [organ bass call-and-response] “Come close—” “Pull back—” “Come close—” “Pull back—” [beat cuts] Same old shit. [DROP] “Want me when I—” “Want me when I—” “Want me when I leave” [Bridge] No more almost No more someday No more loving me Halfway You had me Right there Right there Right— [build] There. [Final Chorus] You only want me when I leave Want me when I’m out of reach Had me right there, didn’t see Now you can’t get enough of me You only want me when I leave Want me when I’m out of reach Had me right there, didn’t see Now you can’t get enough of me [Final Drop] [peak-hour speed garage] [huge organ bass riff] [swung four-on-the-floor] [filtered rave synth] [rapid vocal chops] “Want me—” “When I leave” “Want me—” “When I leave” [FAKE-OUT] You had me. [full drop slams back] “NOW YOU WANT ME.” [extended instrumental outro]
