Cheat Code Lyrics by H.E.R.

Back of My Mind

2021

[Intro]
Mmm, hey
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, mmm
Uh

[Verse 1]
It's 2 AM and I can't sleep, I'm all alone (Uh)
I keep on making up excuses when you're gone
Oh, it's been too many nights, you're on a roll (Mmm)
Don't rush your words, just take it nice and slow
And what you're gon' say is probably on some other bullshit
What you been doing's probably somethin' I ain't cool with
Oh, I know you're probably creepin' on the low (Yeah)
I really can't say 'cause I don't know, oh, no

[Pre-Chorus]
How could you be so—?
How do you sleep, oh?
Where do you leave, oh?
You learned the cheat code
I'm on the seat floor
Oh, silly me, oh
You learned the cheat code

[Chorus]
I'm wondering why (Why)
Why you stayin' out so latе
Too much for me to contemplate
Still I been wondеring why (Oh)
Why you gotta test my patience
I wanna be on the same page
But you need to get your story straight (Yeah)
Oh, straight
Yeah, straight
Yeah, straight, babe

[Verse 2]
Sittin' here puttin' two and two together
And somebody told me they saw you and who together
Oh, you know what they be sayin'
Pillow talk really change things

[Pre-Chorus]
Say you missin' me so
Why do you leave though?
Why I believe you?
You learned the cheat code
I'm on the seat floor (Yeah)
Oh, silly me, oh
You learned the cheat code

[Chorus]
I'm wondering why (Why)
Why you stayin' out so late (Late)
Too much for me to contemplate (Yeah)
Still I been wondering why
Why you gotta test my patience
I wanna be on the same page (Yeah)
But you need to get your story straight (Yeah)
Oh, straight
Yeah, straight (Oh)
Oh, straight, babe

[Outro]
Oh, straight
Straight (Yeah, yeah)
Straight (Yeah)
Straight
Need to get your story straight (Straight)
Straight (Yeah)
Straight (Straight)
Straight (Yeah)
Straight
How could you be so—? (Straight)
You learn the cheat code
You learn the cheat code (Straight)
How could you be so—? (Straight)
You learn the cheat code (Straight)
You learn the cheat code (Straight)
