[Verse 1]
Knock-knock
You don’t wait
Head in my room like it’s your place
“Did you eat?” “Did you sleep?”
I’m tryna breathe
You dive in deep
Shoes on the floor
You say “clean”
But you don’t see what you’re doing to me
I hit pause
On my life
Every time you swing that light
[Pre-Chorus]
You say it’s love
I know that
But I just want my own space back
Every step I take
You track
Can you chill
Can you chill
Just relax
[Chorus]
Mama
Knock first
I’m not a little kid anymore
This is my world
Don’t barge through my bedroom door
I love you
But you drive me crazy (so crazy)
Always in my face
It’s daily
Mama
Knock first
I need my privacy
Please
[Verse 2]
Phone face down
You peek in
Reading my eyes like you’re logging in
“One more hug
One more kiss”
I’m dodging love like it’s a quiz
You say “talk”
I say “later”
You take “later” like an elevator
Straight upstairs
In my mind
Even when you stay outside
[Pre-Chorus]
You say it’s love
I know that
But I just want my own space back
Every step I take
You track
Can you chill
Can you chill
Just relax
[Chorus]
Mama
Knock first
I’m not a little kid anymore
This is my world
Don’t barge through my bedroom door
I love you
But you drive me crazy (so crazy)
Always in my face
It’s daily
Mama
Knock first
I need my privacy
Please
[Bridge]
One step back so I can run to you
If I can breathe
I’ll tell the truth
I slam the door
Then miss you too
Why’s it so hard to say
“Give me space
But stay”
[Chorus]
Mama
Knock first
I’m not a little kid anymore
This is my world
Don’t barge through my bedroom door
I love you
But you drive me crazy (so crazy)
Always in my face
It’s daily
Mama
Knock first
I need my privacy
Please
(I need my privacy, please)
