0:00If I could write you a song to make you fall in love
0:04I would already have you up under my arm
0:08I used up all my tricks, I hope that you like this
0:11But, you probably won't, you think you're cooler than me
0:15You got designer shades just to hide your face
0:18And you wear 'em around like you're cooler than me
0:22And you never say hey, or remember my name
0:26And it's probably 'cause you think you're cooler than me
0:31♪
0:46You got your high brow, shoes on your feet
0:50And you wear 'em around like it ain't shit
0:54But you don't know the way that you look
0:57When your steps make that much noise
1:01Shh, I got you all figured out
1:05You need everyone's eyes just to feel seen
1:08Behind your make up nobody knows who you even are
1:14Who do you think that you are
1:16If I could write you a song to make you fall in love
1:20I would already have you up under my arm
1:23I used up all my tricks, I hope that you like this
1:27But, you probably won't, you think you're cooler than me
1:31You got designer shades just to hide your face
1:35And you wear 'em around like you're cooler than me
1:38And you never say hey, or remember my name
1:42And it's probably 'cause you think you're cooler than me
1:46You got your high brow, switchin' your walk
1:49And you don't even look when you pass by
1:53But you don't know the way that you look
1:57When your steps make that much noise
2:00Shh, I got you all figured out
2:04You need everyone's eyes just to feel seen
2:08Behind your make up nobody knows who you even are
2:13Who do you think that you are
2:17'Cause it's your scene, (it's your scene)
2:20I got no doubt
2:25We all see
2:28You got your head in the clouds
2:30If I could write you a song to make you fall in love
2:34I would already have you up under my arm
2:37I used up all my tricks, I hope that you like this
2:41But, you probably won't, you think you're cooler than me
2:45You got designer shades just to hide your face
2:48And you wear 'em around like you're cooler than me
2:52And you never say hey, or remember my name
