  1. What are the lyrics to 'Flip A Switch' by RAYE?

    I'ma stay doin' what us b*tches do best

    Can't just let your guard down and fall for someone anymore
    That's what stupid girls do
    Yeah, I've been a stupid girl
    Four days away, in his arms I invest
    He won't take my heart, but he'll take off my dress
    Excuses rehearsed, I am blue, I am red
    F*ck lookin' for love

    Tell him I'm dead if he callin' me

    Flip a switch on a pr*ck, then I
    Come alive in the nighttime
    In the club, sippin' Hennessy
    And tell him I'm dead if he callin' me
    Flip a switch on a pr*ck and I'm
    A very sound b*tch 'til you cross that line
    Black heels, black shades, that my energy

    In my little black dress and my neck buss down how I (hmm, hmm)

    You're a very silly man, block, block, mute chat
    New addy in the sat, new d*cks on tap
    Got a best case, worst case, plan of attack
    Got b*tches, if they see you in the street, you're gettin' slapped
    Don't threaten me or talk to me ever like that
    I got brothers in the ends that'll pull up right now
    You don't even wanna see the way I pull up right now

    Tell him I'm dead if he callin' me

    Flip a switch on a pr*ck, then I
    Come alive in the nighttime
    In the club, sippin' Hennessy
    And tell him I'm dead if he callin' me
    Flip a switch on a pr*ck and I'm
    A very sound b*tch 'til you cross that line
    Black heels, black shades, that my energy

    Since the f*ckery from my past, I tend to move on quick, I tend to move on good

    Block you off too swift
    Hit a ting I used to link who always texts back fast
    And I would tell you kiss my a**, I know you wish that you could

    You no longer know me, I no longer want you, you may never hold me

    Seasoned the speed, now I'm over the man who was sleepin' underneath me
    Said I couldn't live without you when I loved you
    Well, I lied and you shouldn't have believed me
    24 hours in the bed and believe me, it's 'bout to get freaky
    Only get to see me when you see me on a phone screen, G

    Tell him I'm dead if he callin' me

    Flip a switch on a pr*ck, then I
    Come alive in the nighttime
    In the club, sippin' Hennessy
    And tell him I'm dead if he callin' me (ooh)
    Flip a switch on a pr*ck and I'm
    A very sound b*tch 'tilyou cross that line
    Black heels, black shades, that my energy (that my energy)

    B*tch like me, I just had to flip the switch on you (ooh)

    Ooh, oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no
    Ooh, oh no, ooh, ah, oh
    Only because I was in love, I opened up
    Now I'll open up to your best friend, which one?

    Tell him I'm dead if he callin' me

    Flip a switch on a pr*ck, then I
    Come alive in the nighttime
    In the club, sippin' Hennessy
    And tell him I'm dead if he callin' me (baby)
    Flip a switch on a pr*ck and I'm (ooh)
    A very sound b*tch 'til you cross that line
    Black heels, black shades, that my energy (that my energy)

    B*tch like me, I just had to flip the switch on you

    Me, yeah, yeah-yeah
    Ooh, ah, oh
    Only because I was in love, I opened up
    Now I'll open up to your best friend, which one?
