## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

Every minute that goes by

Makes me suffocate

Hit that party with my friends

But I can't concentrate

**[Pre-Chorus]**

I keep on replayin' every conversation

Girl, you got me goin' crazy, I can't take it

**[Chorus]**

Got me, got me up all night

Staring at my phone

Waiting, waiting for your text

Feeling all alone

You left me hangin' out to dry

You left me hangin' out

You left me hangin' out to dry

You left me hangin' out

**[Post-Chorus]**

Got me, got me up all night

Staring at my phone (hey)

**[Verse 2]**

What you're thinkin' on your couch?

Chillin' home alone

Are you kissin' someone else?

I guess I don't wanna know

**[Pre-Chorus]**

I keep on replayin' every conversation

Girl, you got me goin' crazy, my heart's racin'

**[Chorus]**

Got me, got me up all night

Staring at my phone

Waiting, waiting for your text

Feeling all alone

You left me hangin' out to dry

You left me hangin' out

You left me hangin' out to dry

You left me hangin' out

**[Post-Chorus]**

Got me, got me up all night

Staring at my phone (hey)

**[Chorus]**

Got me, got me up all night

Staring at my phone

Waiting, waiting for your text

Feeling all alone

You left me hangin' out to dry

You left me hangin' out

You left me hangin' out to dry

You left me hangin' out

**[Outro]**

Got me, got me up all night

Got me, got me up all night

Staring at my phone
