Lyrics

Oh, yeah
Ooh

When you said you were leaving
To work on your mental health
You didn't mention the cheating, yeah
You kept that one to yourself

I got so mad was gonna
Cuss you out outside your house
For everyone to see
Wanted to trash your Benz
Tell all your friends
How cruel you were to me (To me, to me)

Instead I wrote a song
'Bout how you did me wrong
I could've cried at home
And spent the night alone
Instead I wrote a song
I feel much better now
Mе and my girls are out
And we all sing along
Instead I wrotе a song

Da-da-da-da-da-I
Da-da-da-da-da-I (Woo-woo)
Da-da-da-da-da-I
Instead I wrote a song
Da-da-da-da-da-I
Da-da-da-da-da-I (Woo-woo)
Da-da-da-da-da-I
Instead I wrote a song

Kept my cool and composure
My mother would be so proud
I was ready for a sentence, baby
Instead, I wrote it all down

Oh, I was gonna
Cuss you out outside your house
For everyone to see
Wanted to trash your Benz
Tell all your friends
How cruel you were to me (To me, to me)

Instead I wrote a song
'Bout how you did me wrong
I could've cried at home
And spent the night alone
Instead I wrote a song
I feel much better now
Me and my girls are out
And we all sing along
Instead I wrote a song

Da-da-da-da-da-I
Da-da-da-da-da-I (Woo-woo)
Da-da-da-da-da-I
Instead I wrote a song
Da-da-da-da-da-I
Da-da-da-da-da-I (Woo-woo)
Da-da-da-da-da-I
Instead I wrote a song

Let's celebrate, dance it away
I thought my heart would break


Instead I wrote a song
'Bout how you did me wrong
I could've cried at home
And spent the night alone
Instead I wrote a song
I feel much better now
Me and my girls are out
And we all sing along
Instead I wrote a song
