作曲 : Amy Allen/John Ryan/Amelia Webb

I know that you like my body when it's on top of you

More than just a week and I'll be kinda gettin' serious

Friday night when you get sloppy

I'm here lyin', Saturday

I'm really, really not that needy

Never really been the type

Close my eyes and fall so easy

Always been a bitch with highs

I've been feelin' big, big feelings

Only one thing left to say-ay-ay-ay

Don't you ruin "I love you" for me

Don't mix up them three words with pain I don't deserve

And undo what it really means

Oh, don't you ruin "I love you" for me

Baby, I'm beggin' you, please

Don't turn heart eyes to tears cried

Big nights to cold memories I try to forget, drill right into my head

Used to love champagne 'til my ex threw it in my face

These days, I'm drinkin' straight Tequila Rosé, ey

Don't you ruin "I love you" for me (For me)

Don't mix up them three words with pain I don't deserve

And undo what it really means (Means)

Oh, don't you ruin "I love you" for me (For me)

Baby, I'm beggin' you, please
