Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're wearin' that red dress
Like I never took it off you
Got me lookin' at you, baby
Like you never let me go
You knew that I would be here
But still, that didn't stop you
Just like we never happened
How can you be so
[Verse 2]
Cold hearted walkin' by me
Like you don't even know me
Like you don't even care
And you know just what you're doing to me
You make it look so easy
Baby, it ain't even fair, ruthless
Tell me how you can be so ruthless
[Verse 3]
Same lips sippin' on that whiskey
Were the ones that just said, "Goodbye"
There ain't been enough time, not to feel something
[Verse 4]
Well, you catch my eye
You look away
Laugh with your friends
Order a drink like it's nothing
Just like we were nothing
[Verse 5]
Cold hearted walkin' by me
Like you don't even know me
Like you don't even care
And you know just what you're doing to me
You make it look so easy
Baby, it ain't even fair, ruthless
Tell me how you can be so ruthless
[Verse 6]
I wish that I could be a little more heartless
Nonchalant when you walk in a room
Yeah, girl if I'm being honest
I wish I could be more like you
[Verse 7]
Cold hearted walkin' by me
Like you don't even know me
Like you don't even care
And you know just what you're doing to me
You make it look so easy
Baby, it ain't even fair, ruthless
Tell me how you can be so ruthless
[Verse 8]
Ruthless
Tell me how you can be so ruthless
