Lyrics of M.O. by YUQI (宋雨琦)
[Verse 1]
Why are you acting real nice, yeah
Should I remind ya, pull up I got receipts, oh
You be the type to sell me a lie
Just to get you what you need, oh
No pity party, ’cause I’m kinda cruel
Guess I woke up in that kinda mood, yeah
You acting suspect, yeah
It’s not clear
[Pre-Chorus]
Why you choose to come back? (Come back)
Is it your ego? (Ego)
Why you’re killing my vibe?
Bet you deny
And say I’m losing my mind
[Chorus]
Wanna tell me where I can’t go?
Honestly, who you trying to control?
Never me, kick you out the back door, no apologies
Save your words for the birds and the bees
Wanna tell me where I can go?
Imma leave, miss me with the drama
No, it’s not for me
Kick you out the back door, gotta leave
On my line but my time ain’t for free
[Post-Chorus]
What’s your M-O?
What’s your M-O?
What’s your M-O?
Not a ring, not a cheque, not a friend
Tell me, what’s your M-O?
What’s your M-O?
Tell me, what’s your M-O?
Don’t need a ring, need a cheque, need a friend
So what’s your M-O?
[Verse 2]
So what’s your M-O?
Tell me, what’s your M-O? (Yeah)
Motivation, are you tryna go get your leg up?
Trust the feeling’s in my gut
And it’s telling me I gotta hit you with the stop
‘Cause it ain’t my job to keep you on lock
Even though you want it though
What do you want? Outta my league, tell me or not
Choked up, even when I let you go
[Pre-Chorus]
Why you choose to come back? (Come back)
Like it’s a sequel (Sequel)
‘Cause you’re killing my vibe (Oh)
Bet you deny and say I’m losing my mind
[Chorus]
Wanna tell me where I can’t go?
Honestly, who you trying to control?
Never me, kick you out the back door, no apologies
Save your words for the birds and the bees
Wanna tell me where I can go?
Imma leave, miss me with the drama
No, it’s not for me
Kick you out the back door, gotta leave
On my line but my time ain’t for free
[Post-Chorus]
What’s your M-O?
What’s your M-O?
What’s your M-O?
Not a ring, not a cheque, not a friend
Tell me, what’s your M-O?
What’s your M-O?
Tell me, what’s your M-O?
Don’t need a ring, need a cheque, need a friend
So what’s your M-O?
