Don't Make Me Look Dumb

[Verse 1]
You’re late again
Lipstick on my teeth
I’m waiting
Friends already asking
“Is he worth the mascara?”
You walk in loud
Picking fights with the waiter
Baby
Read the room
Not my patience
Not my favor
[Chorus]
Don’t make me look dumb in front of my friends
Don’t make me defend what you just said again
I ride for you hard
I brag like I’m proud
So don’t be the joke I hear back from the crowd
If you’re gonna love me
Love me like you mean it
Don’t make me look dumb
’cause my pride can’t take it
[Verse 2]
I post your pics
You leave me on read for hours
Then show up drunk
Calling me your little coward
You say you’re “just kidding”
But the sting stays on my skin
Watch that mouth
Baby
Or I’ll show you where the door’s been
[Chorus]
Don’t make me look dumb in front of my friends
Don’t make me explain all your “it’s just a joke” again
I cover your flaws
I swear you’re the one
So don’t turn my trust into target practice
Hun
If you’re gonna love me
Love me like you mean it
Don’t make me look dumb
’cause my pride can’t take it
[Bridge]
I’ll fight for you
I’ll lie for you (yeah)
But I won’t cry in a bathroom stall for you
Touch my heart
Don’t touch my name
I can take the hurt
I won’t take the shame
[Chorus]
Don’t make me look dumb in front of my friends
Don’t make me pretend I’m fine with this again
I ride for you hard
I brag like I’m proud
So don’t be the joke they whisper about
If you’re gonna love me
Love me like you mean it
Don’t make me look dumb
’cause my pride can’t take it (no)
[Outro]
Show up right
Or don’t show up at all
I’ll lose a boy
Before I let my crown fall

pop, Glossy, sharp-edged pop with female vocals; tight muted guitar and snappy drums in the verses, choruses explode with stacked harmonies, bright synth stabs, and a swaggering bassline. Playful, side‑eyed delivery on the threats, then open the tone on the vulnerable lines. Short middle-8 strips to vocal, claps, and bass before a final, triumphant hook., playful
