[Verse 1]
When we first met
You used to call me baby
You said you love me
Now I barely hear a word you’re saying
And when your friends ask if you and me are dating
You’re looking guilty, shuffling your feet and hesitating
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well fuck that, I don’t need that
Don’t want it to get out?
Well you should be damn proud
It’s getting dark here sitting in your closet
With your other skeletons like I’m some kinda secret
[Chorus]
Don’t wanna be your undercover lover
Don’t wanna be your friend, and kiss you when the night ends
Don’t wanna be your dirty little secret
I want the world to know who’s hotel you go to
Don’t understand why you wanna keep it quiet
If it was me I’d be starting fucking riots
If you can’t handle who I am, then get the fuck out
I’m not hanging around for something I could do without
[Verse 2]
I will admit that, from the very beginning
You said you didn’t want to give a reason for gossiping
I just feel like a puppet with a mouthpiece
So won’t you cut the strings, so I can stop pretending?
[Chorus]
Don’t wanna be your undercover lover
Don’t wanna be your friend, and kiss you when the night ends
Don’t wanna be your dirty little secret
I want the world to know who’s hotel you go to
Don’t understand why you wanna keep it quiet
If it was me I’d be starting fucking riots
If you can’t handle who I am, then get the fuck out
I’m not hanging around for something I could do without
[Chorus – Breakdown]
Don’t wanna be your undercover lover
Don’t wanna be your friend, and kiss you when the night ends
Don’t wanna be your dirty little secret
I want the world to know
(I want the world to know)
[Chorus]
Don’t wanna be your undercover lover
Don’t wanna be your friend, and kiss you when the night ends
Don’t wanna be your dirty little secret
I want the world to know who’s hotel you go to
Don’t understand why you wanna keep it quiet
If it was me I’d be starting fucking riots
If you can’t handle who I am, then get the fuck out
I’m not hanging around for someone I could do without
