## Lyrics

**[Intro: Doja Cat]**

Take it off, follow me now, let me in, don't shut me out

Don't tell me you love me if that's not how it really is

Take it off, follow me now, let me in, don't shut me out

Don't tell me you love me if that's not how it really is

**[Chorus: Doja Cat]**

Is it casual?

Or are you tryna spend your life with me?

I don't mean to pressure you

But I want a man to stand and fight, stand and fight for me

**[Verse 1: Doja Cat]**

You don't need to paint me a sweet fantasy

We chill, I kick back, you roll up my weed

Say what you feel, don't just say anything

Why complicate what could be so easy?

Leave me alone

If you is a player, I don't think I'ma play with you, uh-uh

This shit get old

If you wanna lay with her, why don't you just stay with her?

**[Pre-Chorus: Doja Cat]**

You say you don't want a girlfriend but when we are in person

You always act so different, you make it all seem perfect

You hold me when we wake up, say you like me with no makeup

I'm tryin' to be patient, how am I supposed to take it?

**[Chorus: Doja Cat]**

Is it casual?

Or are you tryna spend your life with me?

I don't mean to pressure you

But I want a man to stand and fight for me

Is it casual?

Or are you tryna spend your life with me?

I don't mean to pressure you

But I want a man to stand and fight, stand and fight for me

**[Verse 2: Doja Cat]**

I'm sick of chillin', sippin' on Tecate

That life is a bore, we needed more than drunken Fridays

I'm not dissin' your freedom, I know you like to party

Just don't be that boy who fuck with anything that gyrate

I know you know I'm right

Pick up on the vibe

If you read between the lines

Bein' shy just ain't my style, now

**[Pre-Chorus: Doja Cat]**

You say you don't want a girlfriend but when we are in person

You always act so different, you make it all seem perfect

You hold me when we wake up, say you like me with no makeup

I'm tryin' to be patient, how am I supposed to take it?

**[Chorus: Doja Cat]**

Is it casual?

Or are you tryna spend your life with me?

I don't mean to pressure you

But I want a man to stand and fight for me

Is it casual?

Or are you tryna spend your life with me?

I don't mean to pressure you

But I want a man to stand and fight, stand and fight for me

**[Bridge: Doja Cat]**

If you wanna be the one

Don't act sad and wait

And waste my day

I'm not that way

**[Chorus: Doja Cat]**

Is it casual? (It is Casual?)

Or are you tryna spend your life with me? (Spend your life with me)

I don't mean to pressure you (I don't mean to pressure you)

But I want a man to stand and fight for me (N\*gga, stand and fight for me)

Is it casual? (Is it casual?)

Spend your life with me? (Are you tryna spend your life)

Pressure you (I don't mean to)

But I want a man to stand and fight, stand and fight for me
