Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
We're like diamonds in the middle of the desert
'Cause we both knew it was never gonna happen
At least I did, but you didn't wanna listen
So it's 'bout time I teach you a lesson
[Pre-Chorus]
You can't call me that many times
Show up late in my house
Tryna get a hold of my friends
When I don't want you around
Turn my shit's private
'Cause you're liking all of my pics
You lose me when you hold me down
[Chorus]
When I go out I don't ever want the night to end
But you'd rather stay in when I'd rather dance with my friends
You keep saying that I hurt you too many times
Didn't mama teach you not to play with sharp knives
This is what happens when you try to mess with them girls
Who wanna have fun
Wanna have fun?
Wanna have fun?
[Verse 2]
We went ice cold in the middle of the summer
'Cause we don't mix, not the way that you wanted
You wanted way too much too soon
Outside of the bedroom
'Bout time I teach you a lesson
[Pre-Chorus]
You can't call me that many times
Show up late in my house
Tryna get a hold of my friends
When I don't want you around
Turn my shit's private
'Cause you're liking all of my pics
You lose me when you hold me down
[Chorus]
When I go out I don't ever want the night to end
But you'd rather stay in when I'd rather dance with my friends
You keep saying that I hurt you too many times
Didn't mama teach you not to play with sharp knives
This is what happens when you try to mess with them girls
Who wanna have fun (yeah)
Wanna have fun? (uh)
Wanna have fun?
[Bridge]
You wanted way too much too soon
(Wanna have fun?)
Yeah, outside of the bedroom
(Wanna have fun?)
[Chorus]
'Cause when I go out I don't ever want the night to end
(Night to end)
But you'd rather stay in when I'd rather dance with my friends
(Dance with my friends)
You keep saying that I hurt you too many times (yeah)
Didn't mama teach you not to play with sharp knives (oh)
This is what happens when you try to mess with them girls
(Mess with them girls)
Who wanna have fun
Wanna have fun?
This is what happens when you try to mess with them girls
Who wanna have fun
