[Verse 1]
I know the look, I know the grin
That "come here" voice, then the sinkin' in
Lipstick on the collar, truth in the ash
You say "I’m different" and I fall too fast
My friends say run, I say "wait"
You twist one smile and I misread fate
I keep my heart in the passenger side
Then wonder why the ride goes wild
[Pre-Chorus]
I see the smoke, I still say it's fine
I kiss the bruise and call it mine
You move like trouble in a silk disguise
And I keep reachin' for the goodbye
[Chorus]
Why do I go for red flag women?
Red flag women, red flag women
I see the warning, still I'm in it
Red flag women, red flag women
You pull me close, then you pull me under
I swear I learn, then I fall back in
Why do I go for red flag women?
Red flag women, red flag women
[Verse 2]
Late-night texts and a fake "you good?"
Cold little jokes like I probably should
Pack your bags in a borrowed room
Leave me a note with a half-truth tune
I’m too soft when you turn cold
Too proud to let my own guard hold
You don't need chains, you just need a stare
And I hand you my nerves like "here, take care"
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear the sirens, call it romance
You spin my head with a borrowed chance
One red nail and I'm in too deep
I lose my name when you start to speak
[Chorus]
Why do I go for red flag women?
Red flag women, red flag women
I see the warning, still I'm in it
Red flag women, red flag women
You pull me close, then you pull me under
I swear I learn, then I fall back in
Why do I go for red flag women?
Red flag women, red flag women
[Bridge]
Maybe I like the crash too much
Maybe calm just ain't enough
Maybe I miss what I should've missed
The danger feels like a stolen kiss
[Chorus]
Why do I go for red flag women?
Red flag women, red flag women
I see the warning, still I'm in it
Red flag women, red flag women
You pull me close, then you pull me under
I swear I learn, then I fall back in
Why do I go for red flag women?
Red flag women, red flag women
