Melanie Martinez - Focus

Copied!

{Intro}
Yeah, yeah

{Verse 1}
I see you staring at me
Baby, do you like what you see?
Baby, I can guarantee
I won't give you anything for free

{Pre-Chorus}
Eyes on the prize, I see you staring on my thighs
Baby, stop your lie-ies
Baby, stop your trie-ies
Eyes on the prize, baby, I'll be your demise
You better be wise
This is my last advise

{Chorus}
Baby, stop looking at me
You know you'll never have this
Don't even try, because you will only cry
Keep your focus empty
You know you'll never have this
Get on your knees and beg for forgiveness

{Post-Chorus}
Keep your focus empty (yeah, yeah)
Keep your focus- (yeah, yeah)

{Verse 2}
I am not your toy (nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah)
Something for you to enjoy (and destroy)
I have my own life, something you despise
So take my advise, I won't be your wife

{Pre-Chorus}
Eyes on the prize, I see you staring on my thighs
Baby, stop your lie-ies
Baby, stop your trie-ies
Eyes on the prize, baby, I'll be your demise
You better be wise
This is my last advise

{Chorus}
Baby, stop looking at me
You know you'll never have this
Don't even try, because you will only cry
Keep your focus empty
You know you'll never have this
Get on your knees and beg for forgiveness

{Post-Chorus}
Keep your focus empty (yeah, yeah)
Keep your focus empty (yeah, yeah)
