[Verse 1]
The goodbyes are getting old
Next time, you can go ahead and go
I'm tired of begging you to love me
(Arguments and fighting and shit)

[Pre-Chorus]
Goodness gracious, you're amazing
According to you, I'm a lucky lady (Wait)
So why'd you lie to me? (Huh?)
Why do I cry to sleep? (Huh?)
Goodness gracious, I'm replaceable (Yeah)
You say that I'm too crazy (Yeah)
I guess you were right (Yeah)
I guess you were right

[Chorus]
My straitjacket's custom-made though
(With fucking diamonds)
My straitjacket's custom-made though
(With fucking rubies)
Yeah, I'm crazy just like Galileo (I'd rather be that than boring, bitch)
My straitjacket's custom-made though
(With diamonds)

[Verse 2]
You keep hitting, I've been bruised
Holyfield, I can't hear you (Hmm-hmm)
I'm tired of begging you to love me
You're expecting me to say
Loco, please, please stay
I'm tired of begging you to love me
(Arguments, of course you'd stay)
