[Verse 1]

Scrapes on her knees and blood on her skirt

He pushed her on playground, six years old

Dried her eyes and brushed off the dirt

Shut her mouth, ran all the way home

[Pre-Chorus]

"Mama, mama, what do I do?"

"You bite back if he bites you."

"But mama, mama, what if I lose?"

"You do what you have to do."

[Chorus]

Before you take a bite, babe

You better be ready, some girls bite back

Before you take a bite, babe

You better be ready, some girls bite back

[Post-Chorus]

Bite, bite

Ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

Bite, bite

Ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

[Verse 2]

Dead in the eyes, and back on the floor

Pushed her in the penthouse, twenty years old

Four in the morning, streets of New York

Don't wanna call home, but she's so cold

[Pre-Chorus]

"Mama, mama, here's what I'll do

He bites me, I'll bite him too

And, mama, mama, I won't lose

I'll do what I have to do."

[Chorus]

Before you take a bite, babe

You better be ready, some girls bite back

Before you take a bite, babe

You better be ready, some girls bite back

[Post-Chorus]

Bite, bite

Ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

Bite, bite

Ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

[Bridge]

Staring at the carpet, hands on her shoulder

Locked in his office, ten years older

Bared her fangs, cause now she's bolder

And when her little girl asked, she just told her

[Pre-Chorus]

"Mama, mama knows what to do

I fight back, and so will you

Cause I'm your mama, and we never lose

We bite back when we need to."

[Interlude]

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Yeah, yeah, ay

Yeah, yeah-eah-eah-eah

[Chorus]

Before you take a bite, babe

You better be ready, some girls bite back

Before you take a bite, babe

You better be ready, some girls bite back

[Post-Chorus]

Bite, bite

Ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

Bite, bite

Ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da
