## Lyrics

You call me all friendly

Tellin' me how much you miss me

That's funny, I guess you've heard my songs

Well, I'm too busy for your business

Go find a girl who wants to listen

'Cause if you think I was born yesterday, you have got me wrong

So I cut you off

I don't need your love

'Cause I already cried enough

I've been done

I've been movin' on since we said goodbye

I cut you off

I don't need your love

So you can try all you want

Your time is up, I'll tell you why

You say you're sorry, but it's too late now

So save it, get gone, shut up

'Cause if you think I care about you now

Well, boy, I don't give a fuck

I remember that weekend

When my best friend caught you creepin'

You blamed it all on the alcohol

So I made my decision

'Cause you made your bed, sleep in it

Play the victim and switch your position

I'm through, I'm done

So I cut you off

I don't need your love

'Cause I already cried enough

I've been done

I've been movin' on since we said goodbye

I cut you off

I don't need your love

So you can try all you want

Your time is up, I'll tell you why

You say you're sorry, but it's too late now

So save it, get gone, shut up

'Cause if you think I care about you now

Well, boy, I don't give a fuck

I see you tryna' get to me

I see you beggin' on your knees

Boy, I don't give a fuck

So stop tryna' get to me

Tch, get up off your knees

'Cause, boy, I don't give a fuck about you

No, I don't give a damn

You keep reminiscin' on when you were my man

But I'm over you

Now you're all in the past

You talk all that sweet talk, but I ain't comin' back

Cut you off

I don't need your love

So you can try all you want

Your time is up, I'll tell you why

(I'll tell you why)

You say you're sorry, but it's too late now

So save it, get gone, shut up

'Cause if you think I care about you now

Well, boy, I don't give a fuck

I see you tryna' get to me

I see you beggin' on your knees

Boy, I don't give a fuck

So stop tryna' get to me

Tch, get up off your knees

Boy, I don't give a fuck

## Critical reception

In a review of Dua Lipa, Alex Green of Clash magazine wrote that "IDGAF" "takes crisp, almost militaristic drums and combines them with some of Lipa's most cutting lyrics." Green also stated that the song "is likely the best track off the album."
