(Verse 1) You walked in like you owned the world, Actin’ like you stole my crown. But baby, you were just a moment, And he already let you down. You played pretend, yeah, “we’re friends”, But I saw right through the lies. You had my name inside your mouth, While he had someone else online. (Pre‑Chorus) Now look at you - left on read, He’s already in another bed. Should’ve listened when I said, But you were blinded in your head. (Chorus) ‘Cause I told you once, I told you twice, He don’t stay, he don’t treat you right. You thought you won, but baby, nice try - I’m dancing solo, living my life. You played a role, tried taking my place, Now you’re crying with mascara on your face. Told you once, I told you twice… But you didn’t wanna hear the advice. (Verse 2: Dark Encounter) We almost bumped into you in the dark, You froze, girl, trying to make your mark. Quick steps, looking down at the floor, But we saw everything, you can’t ignore. My squad was right there by my side, “If you try anything” - nowhere to hide. You wanted drama, wanted to play the game, But karma hits harder than your fame. (Pre‑Chorus) Now look at you - same mistake, Thought you’d change the player’s game. Baby, he will never stay, You’re just chapter 28. (Chorus) ‘Cause I told you once, I told you twice, He don’t stay, he don’t treat you right. You thought you won, but baby, nice try - I’m dancing solo, living my life. You played a role, tried taking my place, Now you’re crying with mascara on your face. Told you once, I told you twice… But you didn’t wanna hear the advice. (Bridge) Don’t act surprised, girl, you knew the deal, He breaks hearts like he likes to feel. Should’ve known when you took my trust - Karma hits quick, and she don’t fuss. You tried to scare me, tried to be tough, But my squad’s with me, and that’s enough. Look at you now, alone in the night, We’re shining while you hide from the light. (Final Chorus) I told you once, I told you twice, Now you’re living in the coldest night. You took my friend mask, wore it tight— But I’m still here, and I’m doing alright. So play your games, but not with me, I’m too healed and I’m too free. Told you once, I told you twice - And now you finally paid the price.
