0:00Oooh Olivia does remixes now
0:17I met him at a party
0:21I think he was on drugs
0:24He wasn't smart or funny
0:28I convinced myself he was
0:32He had a great apartment
0:35And a car his parents bought
0:39I thought that he was perfect
0:42And now his number's blocked
0:46Took a couple months
0:48But now I am secure
0:52I am so evolved
0:55Now I ask for more and more
0:58And more and more and more
1:00I won't settle for a guy with a fake job
1:04They seem so desperate for loving
1:06But baby I'm not
1:07Gave my heart with zero stipulations
1:11Now I take careful consideration
1:15I'm not kissing any boy that is passive
1:18Their indecision is painfully unattractive
1:22Past mistakes are just new information
1:25These days I've got expectations
1:29I took her to a concert
1:33Front row, thought it'd be fun
1:37Her hand moving up my skirt
1:40New piercing on her tongue
1:44She said she'd call me later
1:47That was three weeks ago
1:51Classic LA behavior
1:54She could've just said no
1:57But in a couple months
2:00This love will be procured
2:04She will be evolved
2:08And I will be adored
2:09Adored, adored, adored, adored
2:12I won't settle for a girl with a fake job
2:16They seem so desperate for loving
2:18But baby I'm not
2:19Gave my heart with zero stipulations
2:23Now I take careful consideration
2:26I'm not kissing any girl that is passive
2:30Their indecision is painfully unattractive
2:34Past mistakes are just new information
2:37These days I've got expectations
2:41I've got big expectations
2:45I've got real big expectations
2:48I've got big expectations
2:52I've got real big expectations
2:56She's got big expectations
2:59She's got real big expectations
3:03She's got big expectations
3:06She's got real big expectations
3:10I won't settle for a guy with a fake job
3:14They seem so desperate for loving
3:16But baby I'm not
3:17Gave my heart with zero stipulations
3:21Now I take careful consideration
3:24I'm not kissing any boy that is passive
3:28Their indecision is painfully unattractive
3:32Past mistakes are just new information
3:35These days I've got expectations
3:40♪
