[Verse 1]
You say you “kidding” when you cut deep
Laugh at my feelings, then you go to sleep
You call me crazy ‘cause I call you out
You change the subject, then you slam the door and bounce
You love my body, but you dodge my mind
You hit my phone late, then you waste my time
You brag to your boys ‘bout how real you keep it
Funny how you talk tough, but your heart the weakest (yeah)
[Chorus]
Quit bein’ mean if you wanna be mine
You don’t get a good girl on a budget of pride
Talk nice to me or don’t talk at all
I’m not your punchline, I’m not your doll
Quit bein’ mean, yeah, fix that tone
You can come correct or you can stay gone
You want my love? Then act like you see me
Step up, grow up, boy, quit bein’ mean to me (hey!)
[Verse 2]
You get defensive when I set my line
You say I’m “trippin’,” I say “boy, that’s fine”
‘Cause I can do bad by my damn self
I don’t need half-love sittin’ on my shelf
You say you sorry, but it’s copy-paste
Same old “my bad” every single day
I’m not your mirror you can crack and blame
Either you heal up or you lose this flame (uh)
[Chorus]
Quit bein’ mean if you wanna be mine
You don’t get a good girl on a budget of pride
Talk nice to me or don’t talk at all
I’m not your punchline, I’m not your doll
Quit bein’ mean, yeah, fix that tone
You can come correct or you can stay gone
You want my love? Then act like you see me
Step up, grow up, boy, quit bein’ mean to me (yeah)
[Bridge]
I need respect
Not just “you next”
I’m not impressed
By cold and careless
So change it up
Or change my contact
Treat me right
Or don’t you call back (call back)
[Chorus]
Quit bein’ mean if you wanna be mine
You don’t get a good girl on a budget of pride
Talk nice to me or don’t talk at all
I’m not your punchline, I’m not your doll
Quit bein’ mean, yeah, fix that tone
You can come correct or you can stay gone
You want my love? Then act like you see me
Step up, grow up, boy, quit bein’ mean to me
