Lyrics:

[Chorus]
Can we just be honest?
These are the requirements
If you think you can be my one and only true love
You must promise to love me
And damn it, if you fuck me over
I will rip your fucking face apart

[Verse 1]
Step one
You must accept that I'm a little out my mind
Step two
This is a waste if you can't walk me down the finish line
Step three
Give me passion, don't make fun of my fashion
Step four
Give me more, give me more, more

[Pre-Chorus]
If you can't handle a heart like mine
Don't waste your time with me
If you're not down to bleed, no, oh
If you can't handle the choking, the biting
The loving, the smothering
'Til you can't handle it no more, no more
Go home

[Chorus]
Can we just be honest?
These are the requirements
If you think you can be my one and only true love
You must promise to love me
And damn it, if you fuck me over
I will rip your fucking face apart

[Hook]
High school sweethearts, line up
They're trying to waste my time
High school sweethearts, shut up
If you're not my type
High school sweethearts, line up
They're trying to waste my time
High school sweethearts, shut up
If you're not my type

[Verse 2]
Step five
You can't be scared to show me off and hold my hand
Step six
If you can't put in work, I don't know what you think this fucking is
Step seven, this one goes to eleven
If you cheat, you will die, die

[Pre-Chorus]
If you can't handle a heart like mine
Don't waste your time with me
If you're not down to bleed, no, oh
If you can't handle the choking, the biting
The loving, the smothering
'Til you can't handle it no more, no more
Go home

[Chorus]
Can we just be honest?
These are the requirements
If you think you can be my one and only true love
You must promise to love me
And damn it, if you fuck me over
I will rip your fucking face apart

[Hook]
High school sweethearts, line up
They're trying to waste my time
High school sweethearts, shut up
If you're not my type
High school sweethearts, line up
They're trying to waste my time
High school sweethearts, shut up
If you're not my type

[Bridge]
Could you hold me through the night?
Put your lips all over my mine
Salty face when I start cryin'
Could you be my first time?
Eat me up like apple pie
Make me not wanna die
Love me rough and let me fly
Get me up, yeah, get me high
Tie me down, don't leave my side
Don't be a waste of my time

[Chorus]
Can we just be honest?
These are the requirements
If you think you can be my one and only true love
You must promise to love me
And damn it, if you fuck me over
I will rip your fucking face apart

[Hook]
High school sweethearts, line up
They're trying to waste my time
High school sweethearts, shut up
If you're not my type
High school sweethearts, line up
They're trying to waste my time
High school sweethearts, shut up
If you're not my type

I’ve already picked out my wedding playlist

[sleepyhead]

“If you cheat you will die”
Like mother, like daughter.

[dusty]

Mel said she wrote this song for young girls to have expectations for their boyfriends, it's so sweet how she uses her music for people to love their best

[ailaanderson]

I was a crybaby like 1 or 2 years ago, but I got attracted to different music, when I figured out Melanie made a movie I've started listening to her songs again.

[pathetic]

Her cursing in her songs can be hard to take seriously sometimes but it was done well in this song specifically. Except maybe in the beginning when she was singing slow maybe..

[keirablu]

Why does Mel make the cursing sound so pleasing and soft.

[hanaicigs]

when she said:
"Could you hold me through the night?
Put your lips all over my mine
Salty face when I start cryin'
Could you be my first time?
Eat me up like apple pie
Make me not wanna die
Love me rough and let me fly
Get me up, yeah, get me high
Tie me down, don't leave my side
Don't be a waste of my time"



..damn thats deep

[Windmill_Millie]

“I’ll rip your f’ing face apart”
MELANIE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN SAY THAT IN THE MOST ANGELIC AND MAJESTIC WAY EVER

[lilacmoondusts]

When Mel said:


"make me not wanna die

love me rough and let me fly

get me up yeah get me high

tie me down, dont leave my side

dont be a waste of my time"


I felt that.

[stevencombs]

Training wheels: who are you

High school sweethearts: we're you but deeper and more serious

[bails.]

“Give me passion dont make fun of fashion” BEST PART

[SuggaShyy]

As an artist myself I can’t even imagine what goes on her mind for her to be this fucking lyrical this woman is fucking amazing for all she’s done I absolutely love her & her soul touching art 😭💞

[MegaDina]

this is like dear future husband dark ver.

[kirbybie]

Gives me How to Be a Heartbreaker vibes, prob cause of the counting

[melodyford]

Her albums are so incredible. The stories they tell, the stages they represent. It all goes together so well and I love it.

[jdj]

i love how she’s so elegantly singing about ripping your face off

[chamberling_arts]

When u r home alone so u take the opportunity to dance to this while your cats judge

[qlildoghyq]

Her cursing voice is so elegant, and adorable.

[No-szdl]

Reminds me of milk and cookies because of the counting 😎

[dessmxe]

I love that part that says"make me not wanna die.... Dont be a waste of my time"the rhythm is basically the best there
