Don’t Make Me Look Dumb

[Verse 1]
You said meet your friends at nine
Lip gloss
Lashes
Perfect line
I practiced laughing at your jokes
So I don’t roast you in your group chat notes
You’re cute
But I’m careful
Babe
My heart’s a diamond in a paper frame
One wrong move in that crowded room
And I’m walking out like I never knew you
[Chorus]
Don’t make me look dumb
In front of everyone (hey!)
Don’t say my secrets
Like they’re something fun
You can break my heart
I’ll probably still come
But don’t
Don’t
Don’t
Don’t make me look dumb
I’m a little bit broken
Still a little bit proud
So love me in private
And protect me out loud
You can call me crazy
Just don’t call me out
Don’t
Don’t
Don’t
Don’t make me look dumb
[Verse 2]
I’ll hype you up
That’s easy
Laugh at your ex
“she’s needy”
I’ll clap the loudest when you win
But don’t turn my scars into your spin
If I cry
That’s between us two
Not your boys and their cheap-ass views
If I stay
It’s my choice
Not luck
So don’t test how fast I can level up
[Chorus]
Don’t make me look dumb
In front of everyone (oh no)
Don’t say my secrets
Like they’re something fun
You can break my heart
I’ll probably still come
But don’t
Don’t
Don’t
Don’t make me look dumb
I’m a little bit broken
Still a little bit proud
So love me in private
And protect me out loud
You can call me crazy
Just don’t call me out
Don’t
Don’t
Don’t
Don’t make me look dumb
[Bridge]
I’ll take the joke
But not the shame
You can tease my hair
Not my name
You touch my pride
I’m gone
I swear (I swear)
Baby
Play nice with the fragile parts
Guard my face like you guard my heart
Or I’ll fix my crown and leave you there (yeah)
[Chorus]
Don’t make me look dumb
In front of everyone
Don’t say my secrets
Like they’re something fun
You can break my heart
I’ll probably still come
But don’t
Don’t
Don’t
Don’t make me look dumb
I’m a little bit broken
Still a little bit proud
So love me in private
And protect me out loud
If you’re gonna love me
Better talk me up
Don’t
Don’t
Don’t
Don’t make me look dumb

Female vocals with a bright, expressive top line; verses delivered with sly, talky attitude, chorus soaring with stacked harmonies and chant-style doubles. Bridge strips to claps and bass pulse, then final chorus explodes with ad-libs and a punchy, radio-ready hook., playful
