[Intro: RAYE]

Sleazin' and teasin', I'm sittin' on him

All of my diamonds are drippin' on him

I met him at the bar, it was twelve or something

I ordered two more wines 'cause tonight, I want him


[Verse 1: RAYE]

A little context if you care to listen

I find myself in a shit position

The man that I love sat me down last night

And he told me that it's over, dumb decision

And I don't wanna feel how my heart is rippin'

In fact, I don't wanna feel, so I stick to sippin'

And I'm out on the town with a simple mission

In my little black dress and this shit is sittin'


[Pre-Chorus: RAYE]

Just a heart broke bitch, high heels six inch

In the back of the nightclub, sippin' champagne

I don't trust any of these bitches I'm with

In the back of the taxi sniffin' cocaine

Drunk calls, drunk (Texts), Drunk (Tears), Drunk (Sex)

I was lookin' for a man who's on the same page

Now it's back to the intro, back to the bar

To the Bentley, to the hotel, to my old ways


[Chorus: RAYE]

'Cause I don't wanna feel how I did last night

I don't wanna feel how I did last night

(Doctor, doctor), Anything, please

(Doctor, doctor), Have mercy on me

Take this pain away

You're askin' me my symptoms, doctor

I don't wanna feel


[Verse 2: RAYE]

Toke this joint how I'm blowin' this steam

Back to my ways like 2019

Not twenty-four hours since my ex did

I got a new man on me, it's about to get, oh (Sweaty)

Last night really was the cherry on the cake

Been some dark days lately and I'm findin' it (Cripplin')

Excuse my state, I'm as high as your hopes

That you'll make it to my bed, get me hot and (Sizzlin')

If I take a step back to see the glass half-full

At least it's the Prada two-piece that I'm (Trippin' in), Hah

And I'm already actin' like a dick, know what I mean?

So you might as well (Stick it in)


[Pre-Chorus: RAYE]

Just a heart broke bitch, high heels six inch

In the back of the nightclub, sippin' champagne

I don't trust any of these bitches I'm with

In the back of the taxi sniffin' cocaine

Drunk calls, drunk (Texts), Drunk (Tears), Drunk (Sex)

I was lookin' for a man who's on the same page

Now it's back to the intro, back to the bar

To the Bentley, to the hotel, to my old ways

[Chorus: RAYE & 070 Shake]

'Cause I don't wanna feel how I did last night

I don't wanna feel how I did last night

Doctor, doctor, anything, please

(Doctor, doctor), Have mercy on me

And take this pain away

(You're askin' me my symptoms, doctor

I don't wanna feel) I don't wanna feel (What?)

[Verse 3: 070 Shake & RAYE]

'Cause I don't wanna feel like I felt last night, Oh

I don't wanna feel like I felt last night

Be at peace with the things you can't change

Last night

I'll be naked when I leave and I was naked when I came, yeah

You're askin' me my symptoms, doctor, I don't wanna feel


[Chorus: RAYE]

I don't wanna feel how I did last night

I don't wanna feel how I did last night, oh

Doctor, doctor, anything, please

Have mercy on me

You're askin' me my symptoms, doctor

I don't wanna feel


[Bridge: RAYE]

I don't wanna feel how I did last night

I don't wanna feel how I did last night

Wanna feel, wanna feel how I did last night

Yeah!

Drums, hm

Ha, ha


[Outro: RAYE]

Lipstick smudged like modern art

I don't know where the f- I am or who's drivin' the f- car

Speeding down the highway sippin'

Mixing pills with the liquor 'cah these feelings

I left everyone I love on read (Uh-huh)

Spilling secrets to the stranger in my bed (Uh-huh)

I remember nothing so there's nothing to regret (Uh-uh)

Other than this 4/4 kick drum poundin' in my head, mm-mm
