作词 : Reneé Rapp/Alexander Glantz/Luka Kloser/Dan Nigro/Ali Tamposi作曲 : Reneé Rapp/Alexander Glantz/Luka Kloser/Dan Nigro/Ali Tamposi
You loaded the chamber
With secrets only you knew
Dressed up my anger
And tailored it to suit you
Taught me to look over
Over my shoulder
Alyah said, "Be careful
Girl, you don't really know her"
Mhm
Look at the mess you made, what a mess
It's comical at best
Yeah, that's so funny, baby
That you would tell it like that
You paint yourself rather
Lovely, baby, don't you?
Yeah, that's so funny, baby
That you could play it all back
And skip every part where I loved you
And loved you, and loved you, I loved you
That's so funny
Now everyone hates you
Except, of course, my lawyer
'Cause you spoiled him, girl
But here comes the spoiler
The shows really over
If you're looking for closure
You got a better shot with God than you do with me
That's for sure
Yeah, that's so funny, baby
That you would tell it like that
You paint yourself rather
Lovely, baby, don't you?
Yeah, that's so funny, baby
That you could play it all back
And skip every part where I loved you
And loved you, and loved you, I loved you
And you loved the attention it got you
Took my love, twisted it to a **** you
Yeah, that's so funny, baby
That you would do me like that
You're so funny
