## Background

In an interview with *Genius*, all three sisters said:

> **Danielle**: That song, I mean just the title 'My Song 5', its the demo. It's whenever you open a Garageband track, you know, it gives you a title already and the first title is 'My Song 1' and then once you use that up-
>
>

> **Este**: It goes: 2, 3, 4, 5
>
>

> **Danielle**: The next, My Song 2, My- Unless you name it something, and for me, whenever I'm making, we're making or just writing and not making any specific idea or we don't have an idea for a lyric it kinda. Like, it's weird to kind of name a song before you even create anything.
>
>

> **All**: Yeah.
>
>

> **Danielle**: So, once we got to My Song 5, we kind of created this weird melody with these weird drums and just kind of brainstormed a bunch of different ideas on this one session. And I remember bringing it to Ariel and I was like "There's something to this, I don't know what but there's all these kind of random parts but I think they can work together." And we worked on it and it just always stayed My Song 5. We never changed-

## Lyrics

* Original
* A$AP Ferg Remix

**[Verse 1]**

I found it hard, tried to reserve

I’ll get it right

When I am hurt (Hot for me)

The man's his own (Hot for me)

To her he’ll go (Hot for me)

But I’ll be fine (Hot for me)

‘Cause I know

**[Pre-Chorus]**

He’s in her heart, on the floor

Thinkin' that I’ll never know

I’ll be up going through crazy shit I did for you

In my mind, in my head

Seein' all the words I’ve said

Honey, honey, I am never coming home again

**[Chorus]**

I’ve been lied to

So what’s the truth?

Now, I'm not gonna hide it all

Keep it in, all from you

I’ve been dying to know what you've tried

You’ve been lying, so

Honey, I’m not your honey pie

(No)

**[Interlude]**

**[Pre-Chorus]**

He’s in her heart, on the floor

Thinkin' that I’ll never know

I’ll be up going through crazy shit I did for you

In my mind, in my head

Seein' all the words I’ve said

Honey, honey, I am never coming home again

**[Verse 2]**

If you want to see me, baby please

Been holding on for eternity

Say you only want me

Missing you never led to much of anything

If you wanna know, if you wanna show me

Everything's what it seemed, seemed to be

Held by a thread, tried to forget

I-I’ll never let it go

Honey, I’m not your honey pie

**[Bridge]**

Tried to deny, I'm dyin' to

Hear all your lies, you're tryin'

Tried to deny, I'm dyin' to

Hear all your lies, I'm tryin'

**[Pre-Chorus]**

He’s in her heart, on the floor

Thinkin' that I’ll never know

I’ll be up going through crazy shit I did for you

In my mind, in my head

Seein' all the words I’ve said

Honey, honey, I am never coming home again

**[Chorus]**

I’ve been lied to

So what’s the truth?

Now, I'm not gonna hide it all

Keep it in, all from you

I’ve been dying to know what you've tried

You’ve been lying, so

Honey, I’m not your honey pie

**[Intro: A$AP Ferg]**

Talk to me nice or don’t talk to me

**[Verse 1: HAIM]**

I found it hard, tried to reserve

I’ll get it right when I am hurt

(Hot for me)

Romance is on

(Hot for me)

To her he’ll go

(Hot for me)

But I’ll be fine

(Hot for me)

‘Cause I know

**[Pre-Chorus: HAIM]**

He’s in her heart, on the floor thinkin' that I’ll never know

I’ll be up going through crazy shit I did for you

In my mind, in my head seein' all the words I’ve said

Honey, honey I am never coming home again

**[Chorus: HAIM]**

I’ve been lied to

So what’s the truth?

No I'm not gonna hide it all, keeping it all from you

I’ve been dying to know what you tried

You’ve been lying so

Honey, I’m not your honey pie

**[Bridge: HAIM]**

If you want to see me, baby please

Been holding for on eternity

Say you only want me

Missing you never led to much of anything

If you wanna know, if you wanna show me

Everything’s what it seems, seems to be

Held by a thread

Tried to forget

I-I’ll never let it go

Honey, I’m not your honey pie

**[Verse 2: A$AP Ferg]**

Can you handle the truth? I don’t think you can

Jealous ‘cause I’m working with this female band

She wanna, consume the world and get all females banned

Always talk about marriage, I don’t see those plans

And yes, I cheated once and so did you

You let your girl eat you out like a bowl of soup

And how you didn't include master bruce?

Two girls in the nude I couldn’t wait to intrude

I couldn’t wait to penetrate the both of you two

You probably been scared I wasn’t noticing you

Scared I’d be occupied with your friend, my nose in the boobs

But, we ain't play that game cause we know you probably would lose

Honey pie, don’t front like you goodie-two-shoes

You ain’t got no money, how’d you get those shoes?

I put the clothes on your back, this the thanks I get?

Is this April? This must be a prank or some shit

**[Pre-Chorus: HAIM]**

He’s in her heart, on the floor thinkin' that I’ll never know

I’ll be up going through crazy shit I did for you

In my mind, in my head seein' all the words I’ve said

Honey, honey I am never coming home again

**[Chorus: HAIM]**

I’ve been lied to

So what’s the truth?

No I'm not gonna hide it all, keeping it all from you

I’ve been dying to know what you tried

You’ve been lying so

Honey, I’m not your honey pie
