“Can’t Walk Straight”

[INTRO]  (whisper soft)
Yeah… you did this to yourself  

[HOOK]  
You ain’t walking straight in the morning  
You knew what it was when you teased me  
You show up in that fit like you want it  
Now your legs gonna hate you by morning You ain’t walking straight when we’re done here  
Got you grabbing at the wall tryna come here  
You said “ruin me” right in my ear  
Now your voice and your knees both numb, dear…

[VERSE 1]  
You pull up with that “I’ve been good all week” look  
Little skirt, no shame, yeah, I’m cooked  
Throw your bag on the floor, take my shirt, get hooked  
Push me back on the couch, sit high, then look  You say “don’t be soft, I’m grown”  
Hands on my belt like “go”  
You ride one thigh to the bone  
Already shaking and we ain’t even really gone home… I flip you over, feet off the ground  
You laugh, then you only make sounds  
Scratch lines down my back like vows  
You say “don’t stop” like you’re running this …town  

[PRE]  (whisper)
You wanted “no mercy,” that’s your line  
Don’t start crying when you get what you like  
You said “make sure I feel this next time I drive”  
So don’t be mad when you can’t stand right…

[HOOK]  
You ain’t walking straight in the morning  
You knew what it was when you teased me  
You show up in that fit like you want it  
Now your legs gonna hate you by morning You ain’t walking straight when we’re done here  
Got you grabbing at the wall tryna come here  
You said “ruin me” right in my ear  
Now your voice and your knees both numb, dear….

[VERSE 2]  
Bed frame hit the wall like drums  
You bite down hard on your tongue  
You grab my wrist, try to run  
I pin ’em up, you’re done  You talk big game with your friends, right?  
Tell ’em I’ma have you out all night  
Now you’re begging me to hit the lights  
’Cause your hair, your makeup, your pride ain’t right  You try to stand up, legs say “nah”  
Fall back down, laugh from your gut, “oh God”  
You say “slow down,” but your hands claw  
Right back, pulling me deeper into your mess, my job  

[PRE 2]  (whisper)
You whisper “I can’t take no more”  
Then you pull me closer than before  
You said “don’t be nice, I’m yours”  
So blame yourself when you can’t find the …floor  

[HOOK]  
You ain’t walking straight in the morning  
You knew what it was when you teased me  
You show up in that fit like you want it  
Now your legs gonna hate you by morning  You ain’t walking straight when we’re done here  
Got you grabbing at the wall tryna come here  
You said “ruin me” right in my ear  
Now your voice and your knees both numb, dear ….

[BRIDGE]  
You tell me “mark me up where they can’t see”  
So tomorrow you remember what you did to me  
Every step that you take, that’s me  
Every flinch, every shake, that’s me You stumble to the shower, hold the glass  
Mumbling “what the hell was that” as you pass  
Every step down the hall got my name in it  
And you know damn well you’re coming back for more……
