[Verse 1]
You bought the drinks
You paid the bill
That doesn’t mean
You get my will
You read my laugh
Like it’s a sign
But I choose when
You cross the line
[Pre-Chorus]
You say I’m “sending signals”
I’m sending one thing clear
If you can’t hear a boundary
You don’t belong here
[Chorus]
Respect the no
That’s where the line is
“Stop” means stop
Not “try your finest”
You want my time?
Learn to let go
If you can’t handle a boundary
You don’t get the glow
Respect the no
[Verse 2]
Hands on my waist
I move them back
You roll your eyes
Call it an act
You text “come over”
I leave you read
Consent is living
Not in your head
[Pre-Chorus]
You say it “kills the moment”
But I’m not here for you
If you can’t love an answer
You don’t deserve a “yes” too
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Ask first
Listen close
Hear it soft
Or hear it bold
“Not tonight”
“Not like that”
Every word
Is a fact
Real men
Step back
Real care
Respect
[Chorus]
