[English]

So, I'm running on the treadmill, tryna sweat him out

'Cause I cut him off a week ago

But the boy's in my head, still want him in my bed still

Even though I tell my friends, I don't

It's sad for me that he's so bad for me

'Cause his tongue can make my heart beat rapidly

And he just texted me "I miss you" and my little world explodes

'Cause all I wanna do is let him take off all my clothes

But I tell myself, "No!"

Don't think about him, don't think about him

Don't think about him at all

Don't answer that text, don't say it's just sex

You know you're just gonna fall

Don't think about him, licking those lips

Kissing on every inch of—

No, stop it right now, don't let him back in

Don't, don't think about him

So, I'm drinking on a Tuesday, tryna make the bluеs fade

Sipping a tequila Coke

Whеn I see him in the doorway, smiling like it's foreplay

I know I should just go home

And it's sad for me that he's so bad for me

'Cause he really helped me burn those calories

And he says that I should stay, and I kinda wanna stay

But the angel on my shoulder says, "Oh, hell no"

Don't think about him, don't think about him

Don't think about him at all

Don't answer that text, don't say it's just sex

You know you're just gonna fall

Don't think about him, licking those lips

Kissing on every inch of—

No, stop it right now, don't let him back in

Don't, don't think about him

Don't, don't, don't think about him

Is he hot or is he comfortable?

(Is he good?)

Come on, honey, have some self-control

Don't think about him, don't think about him

Don't think about him at all

Don't answer that text, don't say it's just sex

You know you're just gonna fall

Don't think about him, licking those lips

Kissing on every inch of—

No, stop it right now, don't let him back in

Don't, don't think about him

Don't think about him

Don't, don't, don't think about him

Don't think about him

Don't think about him
