[Verse 1]
Everybody
Everybody wants to wear the crown
But ain't nobody wanna wait around
You thought you knew the score
But you been watchin' the wrong board
So take it easy on the rat race, baby
'Cause runnin' circles gonna drive you crazy
Spotlight shinin' in your eyes
Like insects drawn to the light

[Pre-Chorus]
If you play with fire, you turn to dust
You could take a chance and fuck with us

[Chorus]
If I were you
I-I-I-I really wouldn't do that
Nah-ah-ah, I really wouldn't do that
You must be new
I-I-I-I really wouldn't do that
Nah-ah-ah, I really wouldn't do that
I feel sorry 'cause you just don't know
I really hate to say it but I told you so
The curtain's been drawn
The story's been told
You're screaming from an empty throne, so
If I were you
I-I-I-I really wouldn't do that
Nah-ah-ah, I really wouldn't do that
[Verse 2]
Take a breather, you don't wanna miss this
You keep it up, there'll be a new statistic
I know what you're runnin' from
Mirror, mirror, loaded gun
If I'm a crook then you're a politician
Always talkin' but it makes no difference
Love the way that trophy shines
Like insects drawn into the light

[Pre-Chorus]
If you play with fire, you turn to dust
You could take a chance and fuck with us

[Chorus]
If I were you
I-I-I-I really wouldn't do that
Nah-ah-ah, I really wouldn't do that
You must be new
I-I-I-I really wouldn't do that
Nah-ah-ah, I really wouldn't do that
I feel sorry 'cause you just don't know
I really hate to say it but I told you so
The curtain's been drawn
The story's been told
You're screaming from an empty throne, so
If I were you
I-I-I-I really wouldn't do that
Nah-ah-ah, I really wouldn't do that
[Bridge]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
If I were you
I-I-I-I really wouldn't do that
Nah-ah-ah, I really wouldn't do that
You must be new
I-I-I-I really wouldn't do that
Nah-ah-ah, I really wouldn't do that
I feel sorry 'cause you just don't know
I really hate to say it but I told you so
The curtain's been drawn
The story's been told
You're screaming from an empty throne, so
If I were you
I-I-I-I really wouldn't do that
Nah-ah-ah, I really wouldn't do that
