lyrics

You’re such a pretty girl
Every boy in the world wants to buy you pearls
Still blood in you high heels
Can they see through the bad plastic surgery

A million purses of shiny leather
A perfect body is all that matters
Nobody cares how you feel
Baby you’re not even real

Don’t you try to take away my man
Don’t you try because you never can
I’m not trying to be mean
But you’re not good enough for him
Don’t you try to take away my man

You’re such a lonely girl
Taking pictures of yourself for the whole world
Who’s gonna dry your tears
When you burn all the bridges that brought you here

You live your whole life on social media
Don’t you wonder why the boys always leave you
Nobody cares how you feel
Oh baby you’re not even real

Don’t you try to take away my man
Don’t you try because you never can
I’m not trying to be mean
But you’re not good enough for him
Don’t you try to take away my man

Nobody cares how you feel
Nobody cares, no, no
You're not even, no, no

Don’t you try to take away my man (My man)
Don’t you try because you never can (No you never can, No you never can)
I’m not trying to be mean (I'm not trying)
But you’re not good enough for him (No, no)
Don’t you try to take away my man (My man)
