It always starts off with the silence,

I ask what's wrong and you say nothing at all

Baby, I can see the red flags all over you

I'm thinking maybe I said something,

Asked if I did and you said nothing at all

Girl, I see the signs, right in front of my eyes, you don't need to keep on lying, no

Wrinkle on your nose, puffing up your chest, face turning red

I know when you're angry, your body language says it clearly

Calling me by my first name, no, baby

Petty, petty

Don't want conversation, walking right past me and acting shady

Just petty, petty

When you get like this, I give you your space

Cause right now you're just Mrs. Petty

Walking right past me, girl, that's petty, petty

Acting like I don't exist, that's petty petty

Way too grown for this, I ain't got no time for this, no

Talking to your girls about me, petty, petty

But won't talk to me directly, girl, that's petty, petty

Childish, foolish, baby

Waiting for you to cut the nonsense, so we could finally have a grown-up talk

If we can't communicate, then how do we move on

If you ask me, I think you're dragging it, and I'm so over it, wanna be done with it all

I can't read your mind, tell me what you feel inside, you don't need to keep on lying, no

Wrinkle on your nose, puffing up your chest, face turning red

I know when you're angry, your body language says it clearly

Calling me by my first name, no, baby

Petty, petty

Don't want conversation, walking right past me and acting shady

Just petty, petty

When you get like this, I give you your space

Cause right now you're just Mrs. Petty

Walking right past me, girl, that's petty, petty

Acting like I don't exist, that's petty petty

Way too grown for this, I ain't got no time for this, no

Talking to your girls about me, petty, petty

But won't talk to me directly, girl, that's petty, petty

Childish, foolish, baby, yeah
