[Verse 1]
Pure intentions, so naïve
I was only twenty-three
Didn't know 'til you showed me
Friendship could be currency
I thought of you like family
For three years of my life
But I'm finally understanding
What made me worth your time

[Chorus]
It's unsettling
To know I gave my love
While you just measured it
It never was enough
Treated my time like merchandise
And I'm the one who paid the price
Friends with benefits
But I didn't benefit at all, all
Hmm-mm

[Verse 2]
Who knew you werе keeping score?
Thought I was different, could'vе sworn
We'd be each other's Maids of Honor
Stay in touch as we got older
I guess I was wrong
[Chorus]
And it's unsettling
To know I gave my love
While you just measured it
It never was enough
Treated my time like merchandise
And I'm the one who paid the price
Friends with benefits
But I didn't benefit at all, all
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Bridge]
And when you tell this story, bet I play the villain
You put yourself before me and still play the victim
When I was in a crisis and needed a friend
Tell me where, were you then?

[Chorus]
Yeah, it's unsettling
To realize the version of you
I had in my head
Was my imagination
I gave you everything
You took it all at my expense
Friends with benefits
But I didn't benefit at all, hmm-mm
Not at all, hmm-mm, mm
