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?
