[Intro – Vinyl Crackle / Spoken] (whispered, half-laughing, half-broken, dry vocal, no reverb) Yeah... you still got that number saved, huh? Funny how "never again" got an expiration date It's 2AM again Here we go— Boom-bap knock, 808 breathing underneath the floor You текст me "come through" — I'm at your door before I answer for It's a sickness, dressed up sweet, it's a habit wrapped in skin Every time you say you're sorry I let sorry back in Sweat and gold chain, silk sheets tangled with the lies Kiss so soft it makes me stupid to the look up in your eyes Piano stab, minor key, matches how this always ends Love you loud then love you wrong then do it all again [Pre-Hook – Building tension, half-sung half-rapped] Say you need me (say you need me) Then you leave me (then you leave me) Every high got a comedown, baby, believe me— [HOOK – Soulful, sexy, anthemic, male R&B] You don't owe me nothin', no But you keep on comin' back for more Slam the door then knock it soft Ooh, this on-and-off gon' be the death of us You don't owe me nothin', no So why's your shirt still on my floor? Say goodbye then stay till dawn Baby you don't owe me — but you keep holdin' on [Verse 2 – Rap, sharper, angrier, dialogue-like delivery] Nah, let's keep it honest — last night wasn't about the love It was about the leaving, how you always push and shove Then apologize with fingers trailing down my spine Sweaty sheets and sweeter lies, you always know the line "Baby I ain't mean it" — heard that one a hundred times Bruise fades quicker than the memory, but I keep coming back to find Some version of the man I met before the mask came off Now I'm sleeping with a stranger every time the lights go soft (Ad-lib stack, layered harmonies, under bar): "Every time— every time— every time—" [Pre-Hook 2 – Same as before, more desperate] Say you need me (why you need me) Then you leave me (then you leave me) Every high got a comedown, baby, believe me— [HOOK – Repeat, bigger, strings swelling] You don't owe me nothin', no But you keep on comin' back for more Slam the door then knock it soft Ooh, this on-and-off gon' be the death of us You don't owe me nothin', no So why's your shirt still on my floor? Say goodbye then stay till dawn Baby you don't owe me — but you keep holdin' on [BRIDGE – SUDDEN DRAMATIC BEAT SWITCH] (drums drop out completely — just piano + voice, then slowly rebuild into a harder, slower half-time groove — Roger Troutman talkbox ad-libs bleeding in underneath) (spoken/sung, quiet, cracked) Somebody tell me why the bad nights feel like proof that it's real... Why the sorry's sound sweeter than the good nights ever did... I keep score of every night you swore That this the last time — this the last time — LIAR Love don't leave you bleeding on the floor Love don't make you scared to walk out that door This ain't love no more, no more, no more— [Final Hook / Outro – Full band, all layers, ad-libs stacked, fading with vinyl crackle] You don't owe me nothin', no (nothin', nothin') But you keep on comin' back for more Slam the door then knock it soft This on-and-off gon' be the death of us You don't owe me nothin', no I gotta let this go, let it go Say goodbye and mean it now Baby... you don't owe me... (I don't owe you either) (fade: piano stab, vinyl crackle, single 808 hit, silence)
