Lyrics

[Intro]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Oh-oh

[Verse 1]

What's up with all the girl-hate-girl shit? Oh-oh

It's like we never learn no lessons, oh-oh

What's up with all the beef and the bad vibes? Oh-oh

What's up with all the teeth in your fake smile? Oh-oh, oh-oh

[PreChorus]

And why can't (Why can't)

We just (We just)

Let it go? Just let it go

I guess (I guess)

We won't (Ever), know, yeah

[Chorus]

We could've been, we could've been, we could've been friends

We could've been, well, maybe not, well, maybe not best friends

But I would have fucked with you

And you know you would've too

Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well

We could've been, we could've been, we could've been cool

We could've been, we could've been, well, maybe not that cool

But I would've fucked with you

And you know you would've too

Oh, well, oh, well, uh

[Verse 2]

Why is it, if I'm not a boy, I'm an enemy? Oh-oh

This damn mentality is killin' me, oh-oh-oh

And don't get me wrong, we can all be that, mmm

Forgive me for tryna believe that

[PreChorus]

And why can't (Why can't)

We just (We just)

Let it go? Just let it go

I guess (I guess)

We won't (Ever), know, no, yeah

[Chorus]

We could've been, we could've been, we could've been friends

We could've been, well, maybe not, well, maybe not best friends

But I would have fucked with you

And you know you would've too

Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well

We could've been, we could've been, we could've been cool

We could've been, we could've been, well, maybe not that cool

But I would've fucked with you

And you know you would've too

Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well

(Oh, well)

[PostChorus]

(Oh, maybe we could've been friends)

[Bridge]

Can we be chill for a second?

'Cause we too young to be stressin', yeah

I think we both learned our lesson (I think we both)

We could've been (We could've been)

We could have been, could've been, uh

[Chorus]

We could've been, we could've been, we could've been friends

We could've been, well, maybe not, well, maybe not best friends

But I would have fucked with you

And you know you would've too

Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well

We could've been, we could've been, we could've been cool

We could've been, we could've been, well, maybe not that cool

But I would've fucked with you

And you know you would've too

Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well

[Outro]

We could've been, we could've been friends now

Oh, well, oh, well

But I would've fucked with you

And you know you would've too

Oh, well, oh, well, oh, well
