Phases

I mean, I don't know if I like him
I don't, I don't think I-, I don't know

Isn't it weird, we're here? History's repeating
Isn't it weird? The game I'm always getting beat in (hey)
Isn't it strange? They say that they're just so different
But one day, they change into my prediction

Here's how it goes, they say

"I like you, I'm here for you
I'll care for you, I'll follow through
I'm a good one, I'm a good son
And there ain't none quite like me"
And we're past phase one
But it's only just begun

Does he like you?
I don't know

Nothing new, it's true, I'm not surprised by those words
But maybe he'll do more than the last jerk (okay, he's a jerk)
What am I saying? I'm crazy, he's gonna hurt me way worse
But maybe there's change In this endless pattern (hey)

So here we go again

I'm skeptical, but interested
I'll put him through my stupid tests
Maybe he'll pass, and then he'll ask
If we're a thing, and I'm wondering
If he knows it's phase two
He ain't got a clue

And little did he know
Phase three was just a joke
To see what he would do if I pushed all his buttons, ha
Thank God he couldn't see
Phase four was just for me
So I could sink every hope he had of running

And now he's in the deep end
Let's see if he can swim
That's why I'm like "Is he gonna make it?" (Uh)

Now I'm impressed, he passed the test
But I told a lie, I must confess
I didn't think that he would go this far
But now it goes to show
I made him wait, I made him pray
That maybe I'd be his someday

My book has a thousands pages (yeah)
I promise I'm fine with waiting
For the one who can handle my phases

You'll get a good song out of it somehow
It's weird, guys are so hard to understand through
Right? And I'm not easy to get
Like, I'm not gonna be like, "Oh my god, date me!"
