### Lyrics

 "**Suite Life (Familiar)**" by FLO featuring **Bellah** is a captivating exploration of emotions surrounding the discovery of a former partner's new relationship. The lyrics draw parallels between the narrator, represented by FLO and **Bellah**, and the new girlfriend, reflecting on the uncanny resemblance between them. The song cleverly references the **2005 Disney Channel Sitcom**, **The Suite Life of Zack and Cody**, to emphasize the sense of familiarity and shared experiences.

The intro kicks off with a confident declaration as the narrator expresses the intention to speak their mind. The chorus becomes a central theme, questioning the familiarity of the new girl and addressing the confusion and emotional turmoil caused by the former partner's actions. The lyrics convey a mix of curiosity, frustration, and self-reflection.

In the first verse, comparisons take an unexpected turn as the new girl is humorously likened to a potential family member. The lyrics playfully suggest that the new girl could be a long-lost cousin or even a half-sister, adding a layer of irony to the situation. The narrator questions the decency of the ex-partner's choices and highlights the struggle to escape the connection.

The pre-chorus introduces a confident tone as the narrator asserts their right to express themselves. References to social media interactions, like the new girl liking the narrator's pictures, add a modern touch to the narrative. The playful suggestion of potential romantic interest is presented with a sense of self-assuredness.

The second verse delves deeper into the narrator's emotional response to the situation. The lyrics ponder whether the resemblance is flattering or offensive, highlighting the ex-partner's misguided attempts to find a replacement. The narrator playfully suggests that the ex-partner ordered "*meat*" but ended up with "*tofu*," emphasizing the disappointment and mismatch in the new relationship.

The post-chorus expresses a wish for a "*sweet life*" for the ex-partner and the new girl, incorporating a nod to **The Suite Life of Zack and Cody**. The outro reinforces the idea of familiarity and questions why the ex-partner didn't communicate openly about their intentions, leaving the narrator to navigate feelings of confusion and betrayal.

Overall, "Suite Life (Familiar)" offers a clever and humorous take on the complexities of post-breakup emotions, combining modern references with a playful exploration of identity and relationships.

* Lyrics

[Intro: Renée]

Tonight, I talk my shit tonight

Mmm, yeah

Talk my shit tonight, yeah

[Chorus: Stella]

Your new girl look awfully familiar

But I'll get back to that

If you ain't want me, why didn't you just say?

Why you have to make me feel like I was trippin'?

I see you got a type, I thought I had to change

[Verse 1: Jorja]

That ho look like she could be my cousin (Yeah)

On some half-sister shit

Boy, you must really be full of it

'Cause you're tryin' to get away from me

But you can't really get away, it seems, oh, woah

And you ain't got no decency

[Pre-Chorus: Renée & *Jorja*]

So I talk my shit (Talk my shit), talk my shit (Talk my shit)

And your new bitch like my pics on the 'Gram, she double tap

And if I liked girls, I would slide (*Slide*)

'Cause you know she look like me, and I'm fine, ooh, woah (Yeah)

[Chorus: Stella, *Bellah* & **FLO**]

Your new girl look awfully familiar (Ah)

But I'll gеt back to that (**Ah**)

If you ain't want me, **why didn't you just say?**

**Why you have to make mе feel like I was trippin'?**

I see you got a type, I thought I had to change (*Ah, yeah*)

[Verse 2: Bellah]

Am I flattered or offended?

Baby, you lookin' for me in all the wrong places

Know you ain't happy, that's something I could've told you

You ordered meat and you got tofu, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Bellah]

So I talk my shit, talk my shit (Talk my shit)

And your new bitch like my pics on the 'Gram, she double tap

And if I liked girls, I would slide (I would)

'Cause you know she look like me, and I'm fine, ooh, woah (Fine)

[Chorus: All, *Bellah*, **Stella** & ***Renée***]

Your new girl look awfully familiar (*Awfully familiar*; **oh**)

But I'll get back to that (*That*)

If you ain't want me, why didn't you just say?

Why you have to make me feel like I was trippin'? (*I was trippin'*)

I see you got a type, I thought I had to change (**Ooh, woah**)

Your new girl look awfully familiar (Familiar)

But I'll get back to that (Oh)

If you ain't want me, why didn't you just say?

Why you have to make me feel like I was trippin'? (**Oh**)

I see you got a type, I thought I had to change (***Type***)

[Post-Chorus: Bellah, *Stella* & **Renée**]

(Yeah)

Oh, I wish you and that new bitch a sweet life (*Oh, woah*)

Sweet life, for real (**Oh**)

Oh, I wish you and that new bitch a sweet life (A sweet life)

Sweet life, for real (Sweet life, yeah)
