  • We had our first date three weeks ago on Monday
    He took me out for dinner, then he asked me back to his place
    Mate
    He was like 6'8 with huge arms and a fit face
    Then he opened up his mouth and I was like
    No, fuck's sake

    What you so boring for? It's like talking to a door
    Swear I cannot be arsed to do this anymore
    But you look nice in this light
    Don't tempt me 'cause I just might
    Stay for another glass of wine
    Oh, no, I fucked it

    Oh, not another one
    Here we go again
    How can someone look so pretty
    But have nothing in their head?
    Oh, no, not another one
    I won't do it again
    I really should've slept on it, 'cause I woke up in his bed

    Pretty boys, they got nothing else to give
    Pretty boys, they're too simple to think
    Pretty boys, just do your thing
    You look so pretty
    So shut up and kiss me

    There is no deeper meaning, don't want to meet your mother
    Don't care about your feelings, just get under the covers
    Called my friends when we were having dinner
    Just to tell them that I've met nobody dimmer
    You're so bleak like a rainy day in February
    And luckily, talking to you isn't necessary
    Because

    What you so boring for? It's like talking to a door
    Swear I cannot be arsed to do this anymore (no way)
    But you look nice in this light
    Don't tempt me 'cause I just might
    Stay for another glass of wine
    Oh, no, shit, fuck

    Oh, not another one
    Here we go again
    How can someone look so pretty
    But have nothing in their head?
    Oh, no, not another one
    I won't do it again
    I really should've slept on it, 'cause I woke up in his bed

    And you had so much potential
    Oh, I could've been your very best friend
    And driven you so fucking mental
    But time is money and you're not worth the spend (no)

    Oh, not another one
    She's doing it again (say what?)
    She likes the pretty boys that have got nothing in their heads
    Oh, no, not another one, she won't do it again
    I really wish she'd slept on it
    'Cause she woke up in his bed
    Oh, not another one
    I'm doing it again
    I like the pretty boys that have got nothing in the heads
    Oh, no, not another one
    I won't do it again
    I really should've slept on it 'cause I woke in his bed again

    Pretty boys, they got nothing else to give
    Pretty boys, they're too simple to think
    Pretty boys, just do your thing
    You look so pretty
    So shut up and kiss me Writer/s: Caity Baser, Henry Tucker, Issey Cross, Jacob Daniel Jones, Taras Slusarenko
