GRIP Lyrics by Tei Shi

Valerie

2022

[Verse 1]
If I didn't say it
You might think I'm the silent type
Although forgiveness is in my nature
You've been crossing the line
You've been taking what's mine
Well, we had it then, but now it's over
Take a look around
Don't let me catch you coming over
For a second chance

[Pre-Chorus]
You think you know, but you don't, but you don't
Look you got your grip around me and you're not letting go
Think you got me in the palm of your hand
What don't you understand, I need that money

[Chorus]
'Cause you don't own me
Thought this shit was free and you got me cheap (Need that money)
But it gets ugly
When you don't play clean
Gotta get you off me, off me, off me
Gonna make them love me, love me, love me

[Verse 2]
Pity one of these moments (One of these moments)
Ooh, don't be surprised to find yourself alone (Don't be surprised, don't)
When all of these voices are louder than ever
And they know what you've done (Know what you've done)
Yeah, we had it then, but now it’s over (Now it's over)
Take your things and go
Don't let me catch you coming over for another show

[Pre-Chorus]
You think you know but you don't, but you don't
Look you got your grip around me and you're not letting go (Letting go)
Think you got me in the palm of your hand
What don't you understand, I need that money

[Chorus]
'Cause you don't own me
Thought this shit was free and you got me cheap (Need that money)
But it gets ugly
When you don't play clean
Gotta get you off me, off me, off me
Gonna make them love me, love me, love me (Need that money)
'Cause you don't own me
Thought this shit was free and you got me cheap (Need that money)
But it gets ugly
When you don't play clean
Gotta get you off me, off me, off me (Off me, off me)
Gonna make them love me, love me, love me
