Beautiful Manipulator

[Verse 1]
You love like a lawyer
Every kiss
A clause
Touch my face so careful
Hiding all your flaws
You keep your stories folded
Like letters in a drawer
Smile like you’re sorry
While you angle for some more
[Chorus]
You’re a beautiful manipulator
Gold tongue
Cold heart
Smooth operator
Say you’re mine
Then you’re mine till later
Sweet liar
Sweet liar
Sweet traitor
You’re a beautiful
Beautiful cheater
Turn my doubts into flowers
Then you eat ’em
I keep falling
But I see you clearer
Beautiful manipulator
Pretty little deceiver
[Verse 2]
You swear that you’re changing
Every time you’re caught
You practice your sadness
Like a line you bought
You trace my spine
Say “trust me”
Like a bedtime spell
But I found all your secrets
In the glow of your cell
[Chorus]
You’re a beautiful manipulator
Gold tongue
Cold heart
Smooth operator
Say you’re mine
Then you’re mine till later
Sweet liar
Sweet liar
Sweet traitor
You’re a beautiful
Beautiful cheater
Turn my doubts into flowers
Then you eat ’em
I keep falling
But I see you clearer
Beautiful manipulator
Pretty little deceiver
[Bridge]
I’m not your mirror
I’m not your cure
I’m walking out
You’re staying unsure
You dressed up the damage
In roses and lace
But I’m done letting poison
Wear your perfect face (yeah)
[Chorus]
You’re a beautiful manipulator
Gold tongue
Cold heart
Smooth operator
Say you’re mine
Then you’re mine till later
Sweet liar
Sweet liar
Sweet traitor
You’re a beautiful
Beautiful cheater
Turned my doubts into flowers
Then you’d eat ’em
Now I’m done
And the view gets clearer
Beautiful manipulator
I’m leaving your theater

Dark pop with sharp, syncopated drums and a minimal, rubbery bass line; verses stay close and spoken-sung, then the chorus widens with airy synth pads and stacked female vocals on the hook. Bridge strips to vocal, sub-bass swells, and a single detuned lead before the last chorus hits harder with extra harmonies and ad-libs., beautiful
