Lyrics[]
[Chorus]
Why you come around and trip me up, I can’t stand it
Why you come around and trip me up, I can’t stand it
[Verse 1]
Can’t stand the way you use psychology, oh no
Can’t stand the way that you manipulate me, no no
Ain’t submissive no I never stood for it
But like a square, you’ve got me waiting around for it
I surrender, you defeat me
Like you’re my enemy yeah
Sweatpants or dresses, it don’t even matter
Don’t make a difference
Attention no interest, it don’t even matter
Don’t make a difference
Try to play it off so I don’t give leverage
Knowing damn well if you disappeared
I couldn’t manage
They told me to watch out for someone like you
Lo and behold, the warning came true
What am I to do? Oh why
[Chorus]
Why you come around and trip me up, I can’t stand it, oh why-y-y
Why you come around and trip me up, I can’t stand it, oh no no
[Post-Chorus]
It’s like you prey on me
Back against the wall, take it easy
Take it easy
You come around and trip me up, I can’t stand it
I can’t stand it, why-y-y
I-I, I-I-I-I can’t stand it, why-y-y
I-I, I-I-I-I
[Verse 2]
Can’t stand the way that you’ve been taking my focus away
I just don’t get it
Can’t understand how I lay in the bed that you make, no
Ain’t aggressive but you keep me coming for it
Just love but you got me feeling for it
I surrender, you defeat me
Like you’re my enemy oh
Tell me
[Chorus]
Why you come around and trip me up, I can’t stand it, oh why-y-y
Why you come around and trip me up, I can’t stand it, oh no no
[Post-Chorus]
It’s like you prey on me
Back against the wall, take it easy
Take it easy
You come around and trip me up, I can’t stand it
I can’t stand it, why-y-y
I-I, I-I-I-I can’t stand it, why-y-y
I-I, I-I-I-I can’t stand it, why-y-y
I-I, I-I-I-I can’t stand it, why-y-y
I-I, I-I-I-I
