[Verse 1]

There were bad signs

Green eyes and I know what I saw

You eat what you can catch

Didn’t know it til I was trapped between your jaws

I guess I latch on to anything that sees me

It’s a tough pill to swallow

What I saw in you, I’m not quite sure

I guess I didn’t want to wake up alone tomorrow

[Chorus]

Oh, preying mantis

How long will it be?

‘Til you find the next one

Find the next one, find the next one

Oh, preying mantis

You caught me in your teeth

Find the next one, find the next one, find the next one

[Verse 2]

If we’re being honest, I don’t know how I fought this

I’m just glad it was mе

I’m not strong enough for this

I’m not strong enough for this

[Chorus]

Oh, preying mantis

How long will it bе?

‘Til you find the next one

Find the next one, find the next one

Oh, preying mantis

You caught me in your teeth

Find the next one, find the next one, find the next one

[Bridge]

If we’re being honest, I don’t know how I fought this

If we’re being honest, I don’t know how I fought this

If we’re being honest, I don’t know how I fought this

If we’re being honest, I don’t know how I fought this

[Chorus]

Oh, preying mantis

How long will it be?

‘Til you find the next one

Find the next one, find the next one

Oh, preying mantis

You caught me in your teeth

Find the next one, find the next one, find the next one
