[Verse 1]
I'm your best friend, so if you punch me, I punch you back
And if you run fast, I'll be quicker than you; I'll beat you at every lap
I'm your boyfriend; if you tell me where I've been cheating behind your back
I'm your girlfriend; if you love me, I'm insane; my world's about to crack
[Pre-Chorus]
You know you gotta keep up
Try to catch up
You gotta work on your game
[Chorus]
Cause I'm always on the verge of leaving
Never know how long I'm staying
You might feel that this is even
Get the check, but you'll be paying
Bent in two, now I'm not breathing
Door is closing, I'm not playing
This is what you were beneath
Then [?], but I'm not staying
Take your time, you must be dreaming
Clock is ticking, I'm not waiting
Oh, you gotta keep up, keep up, keep up, yeah
You gotta keep up, keep up, keep up, keep up, keep up
You gotta work on your game
[Verse 2]
I'm your best friend; if you trust me, I'm laughing behind your back
And if you try hard, I'm holding you fast, I'm holding you back
I'm your boyfriend; if you love me, then your dreams will never stay on track
I'm your girlfriend; no matter what you do, I'm always on the attack
[Pre-Chorus]
You know you gotta keep up
Try to catch up
You gotta work on your game
[Chorus]
Cause no one worries if you're winning
Lose it all or we'll keep spinning
Night and day, you're always kicking
Want some juice that they are sipping
Scared of trying to keep on swimming
Get the dollar, bell's still ringing
Man, this loneliness is k**ing
Fell so hard, the knife is twisting
Clean it up, my blood is spilling
Run away, you keep on tripping
Oh, you gotta keep up, keep up, keep up, yeah
You gotta keep up, keep up, keep up, keep up, keep up
You gotta work on your game
[Bridge]
Call her ugly
Don't waste time; no, don't wait
You can match your breath to the beat of your pathetic lonely heartbeat
(You gotta work on your game)
Be honest, the world is dull and dark
When there's nothing else fake
(You gotta work on your game)
Stop waiting around for days to be gray
I'm fishing to emerge as your soulmate
(You gotta work on your game)
You can want the sunflower off the path
If you're always focused on staying straight
(You gotta work on your game)
No one thinks about you as much as you
I awake and contemplate your own mistake
There's a clock ticking at the back of the room
It doesn't care if you're late
The only person that you have to answer to
Is the one crushed under your cold blade
[Chorus]
Cause I'm always on the verge of leaving
Never know how long I'm staying
You might think that this is even
Get the check, but you'll be paying
Bent in two, now I'm not breathing
Door is closing, I'm not playing
This is what you were beneath
Then [?], but I'm not staying
No one worries if you're winning
Lose it all or we'll keep spinning
Night and day, you're always kicking
Want some juice that they are sipping
Scared of trying, keep on swimming
Get the dollar, bell's still ringing
Man, this loneliness is k**ing
Fell so hard, the knife is twisting
[Outro]
Oh, you gotta keep up, keep up, keep up
Yeah, you gotta keep up, keep up, keep up
Oh, you gotta keep up, keep up, keep up, keep up
You gotta work on your game
You gotta work on your game
You gotta work on your game
