So Fucking Manipulative

[Verse 1]
Don't answer that
I already know
I just wanted to hear it
Out of your mouth, though
I feel like it would be embarrassing to ask
I get anxiety about being direct
You answer back
I think you know
You don't seem mad
So we should let it go
But from the way that you replied
I kinda get the feeling
You've maybe got a plan of your own in mind

[Verse 2]
I manipulate
You manipulating
Me, it's the same
Thing, it's hard to break
Habits overnight
Ultimata might
Be effective short-
Term, but don't gaslight
Me, you do the same
Shit, like every day
We are both to blame
We aren't gonna change
I manipulate
You manipulate
Baby, you're all mine
And so is your brain

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm gonna make you make me make you love me
I'm gonna make you make me make you love me, baby
I'm gonna make you make me make you love me
I'm gonna make you make me make you love me, baby

[Chorus]
I'm so fucking manipulative
I can't help it
I'm afraid of waking up from this
'Cause this is perfect
And I swear that every time we kiss
I would murder
Just to keep you up against my lips
For all eternity

[Post-Chorus]
I'm gonna make you make me make you love me
Baby
I'm gonna be the only one that you see
You'll see
You're gonna make me make you make me love you
It's true
I'm gonna watch it happen, I'm gonna let you
Please do

[Verse 3]
I'll manipulate
You manipulate
Me and we both see
And maybe we'll fight
And apologize
Just to keep your eyes
Off of other guys
And on me tonight
You manipulate
Me, and I admit
It doesn't feel great
But I can deal with it
You feel guilty
I say, "No, don't worry"
No, really, don't worry
Cross the line
It's blurry, anyway

[Bridge]
Baby, it's so hard for me to
Let you even have a peek
At the darkness that I am convinced
Is lurking deep in me
I just wanna be the one
Who's in control of everything
My brain is always telling me to
Lie about the smallest things
I just wanna have all of
The answers, and I want them to be
Perfect, that way I can feel a
Little bit less far from perfect
And the reason that I feel so
Comfortable explaining this
Is 'cause I have a feeling
That you've already been thinking it

[Chorus]
I'm so fucking manipulative
I can't help it
I'm afraid of waking up from this
'Cause this is perfect
And I swear that every time we kiss
I would murder
Just to keep you up against my lips
For all eternity
I'm so fucking manipulative
I can't help it
I'm afraid of waking up from this
'Cause this is perfect
And I swear that every time we kiss
I would murder
Just to keep you up against my lips
For all eternity

[Outro]
I'm gonna make you make me make you love me
You're gonna make me make you make me love you, it's true
I'm gonna make you make me make you love me, baby
