## Theme

> Kelis’ “Caught Out There” is one of my favourite songs in the entire world, and I’m blown away that we got this cleared, let alone her wanting her name next to it. This is my breakup song—it wouldn’t be an Ashnikko project without one. It’s about choosing yourself, because that’s the best way to get through a breakup. Get some new sex toys, invest in yourself, learn something new, cut all your hair off if you want. Manifest your dreams, baby. This song is quite poppy. I’m a pop girlie at the end of the day, and that’s a side to me that I felt was very important to put on this mixtape.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1: Ashnikko & *Kelis*]**

I don’t need a man, I need a puppy

Allergic to you every time you touch me

Emotional maturity for dummies

I don’t have the time to pretend you’re funny

I’m back, I’m better

I put that teddy bear you gave me in a blender

I drew a dick on all your sweatshirts

*I hate you so much right now!*

**[Chorus: Ashnikko]**

Deal with it

Boy you got to

I don’t want you

Do what you want

But just deal with it

'Cause I’m so over you

Deal with it

Boy you got to

I don’t want you

Do what you want

But just deal with it

'Cause I’m so over you

**[Verse 2: Ashnikko & *Kelis*]**

I don’t need a man, I need a rabbit

I need a new toy just to cleanse my palate

Big bad bitch, I’m the baddest

We both know it wasn’t love

Just a big bad habit

Stringing you along like a puppet

I could see the dеsperation, got you right where I want ya

Bеg for it, plead, you can suck it

*I hate you so much right now!*

**[Chorus: Ashnikko]**

Deal with it

Boy you got to

I don’t want you

Do what you want

But just deal with it

'Cause I’m so over you

Deal with it

Boy you got to

I don’t want you

Do what you want

But just deal with it

'Cause I’m so over you

**[Post-Chorus: Ashnikko & *Kelis*]**

Ahhhhh

*I hate you so much right now!*

Ahhhhh

*I hate you so much right now!*

**[Verse 3: Ashnikko & *Kelis*]**

Find me in a ballgown

With a champagne glass

With a man on my arm

I don’t care what his name is

I’ve really leveled up now

I got jets on my back

Everything I do, outrageous

You text me that you miss me

I say who the fuck is this?

I deleted your number

Oops!

Oh geez that’s a bummer

*I hate you so much right now!*

**[Chorus: Ashnikko]**

Deal with it

Boy you got to

I don’t want you

Do what you want

But just deal with it

'Cause I’m so over you

Deal with it

Boy you got to

I don’t want you

Do what you want

But just deal with it

'Cause I’m so over you

**[Post-Chorus: Ashnikko & *Kelis*]**

Ahhhhh

*I hate you so much right now!*

Ahhhhh

*I hate you so much right now!*

Ahhhhh

*I hate you so much right now!*

Ahhhhh

*I hate you so much right now!*
