## Lyrics

### Solo version

[Verse 1]

Yesterday, I woke up on the hotel floor

Then I stole my ex's car

Signed it with a lipstick mark

Over it, had to kiss his ass goodbye

He was low and I was high

Popping Valiums on Valentines

[Pre-Chorus]

If he just gave you flat line when you want trampoline (Whoa-oh)

If you be in the penthouse when he on mezzanine (Whoa-oh)

Then you just gotta tell him "Catch my level or leave"

You gotta look him in the eye

Middle finger to the sky and say

[Chorus]

I do it too bad for you (Uh-huh, uh-huh)

I do it too bad for you (Uh-huh, uh-huh)

I do it too bad for you (Uh-huh-uh)

Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa (Do it, do it)

I do it too bad for you (Uh-huh, uh-huh)

I do it too bad for you (Uh-huh, uh-huh)

I do it too bad for you (Uh-huh-uh)

Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa (Do it, do it)

[Verse 2]

Yesterday I was countin' up big stacks

But you were tryna hold me back

Pedal to the metal, I can't get with that

No, over it, maybe you're just not my type

Should've swiped left, not right

'Cause I just wanna live my life

[Pre-Chorus]

If he just gave you flat line when you want trampoline (Whoa-oh)

If you be in the penthouse when he on mezzanine (Whoa-oh)

Then you just gotta tell him "Catch my level or leave"

You gotta look him in the eye

Middle finger to the sky and say

[Chorus]

I do it too bad for you (Uh-huh, uh-huh)

I do it too bad for you (Uh-huh, uh-huh)

I do it too bad for you (Uh-huh-uh)

Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa (Do it, do it)

I do it too bad for you (Uh-huh, uh-huh)

I do it too bad for you (Uh-huh, uh-huh)

I do it too bad for you (Uh-huh-uh)

Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa (Do it, do it)

### Version featuring TYNI

[Verse 1: Charli XCX]

Over it, had to kiss his ass goodbye

He was low and I was high

Popping Valiums on Valentines

[Pre-Chorus: Charli XCX]

If he just gave you flat line when you want trampoline (Whoa-oh)

If you be in the penthouse when he on mezzanine (Whoa-oh)

Then you just gotta tell him "Catch my level or leave"

You gotta look him in the eye

Middle finger to the sky and say

[Chorus: TYNI]

Too bad for you, honey

'Cause I don't want your lovin', lovin', yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Charli XCX]
