Cheap Shot

(album: Ella Mai - 2018)

You've been out here tryna work on me for a minute
Fall in love for a minute
You've been tryna see me through the problems
But everything you're saying is the problem
You keep tryna make me slow down for a minute
When I just wanna drown for a minute
You can take advantage
But you're taking chances
And I'm so glad you took it
So glad you took it

Cheap shot, coming when I wasn't looking for you
Shots in the dark, got me following your heart
Cheap shot, got me taking cheap shots
Why are you taking cheap shots?
Drinking, smoking, doses, potions
Got me doing things I ain't do
Got me doing things I ain't do, true
Drinking, smoking, doses, emotions
Something 'bout the pain mixed with you
Got me doing things I ain't do, right

I've been over-thinking
Tryna make the wrong one right for no reason
I was cold for a minute
Blind to the feeling, but you did it, now we're in it and I'm so glad you took it (so glad)
So glad you took it (cheap shots)

Cheap shot, coming when I wasn't looking for you
Shots in the dark (shots in the dark), got me following your heart (following your heart, yeah)
Cheap shot, got me taking cheap shots (so cheap, yeah)
Why are you taking cheap shots?
Drinking, smoking, doses, potions
You know you got me doing things I ain't do
You know you got me doing things I ain't do, true
Drinking, smoking, doses, emotions
Something 'bout the pain mixed with you
Got me doing things I ain't do, right, true

And it ain't really what it seems or what it seems or what it looks like (true)
And you can never call me yours but can call me when you feel like it
Drinking, smoking, doses, no emotions
Something 'bout the pain mixed with you
Got me doing things I ain't do, right, true

It's so hard to admit all the changes
Stuck in the same system for ages
I'm just tryna take a hold of what's left of me, it can't get the best of me
It's amazing what a little lust can do
They're just pieces, but they devour you
I'm a monster just tryna vibe with you
So come over if you want but you can never call me yours when we're

Drinking, smoking, doses, no emotions
Something 'bout the pain mixed with you
You know you got me doing things I ain't do
You know you got me doing things I ain't do, true
Drinking, smoking, doses, emotions
Something 'bout the pain mixed with you
Got me doing things I ain't do, right, true

And it ain't really what it seems or what it seems or what it looks like (true)
And you can never call me yours but can call me when you feel like it
Drinking, smoking, doses, no emotions
Something 'bout the pain mixed with you
Got me doing things I ain't do, right, true

True, got me doing things I ain't do, right, true
True, got me doing things I ain't do, right, true
Got me doing things I ain't do, right
