Lyrics[]
[Intro]
Mmhm, mmhm-mmhm, mmhm, mmhm
Mmhm, mmhm-mmhm, mmhm, mmhm
Mmhm, mmhm-mmhm, mmhm, mhmm
[Verse 1]
I might get ugly
If nobody loves me anymore
I might keep it simple
To find out what you're here for, just let me know
I know I'm quiet
I don't bother every time, you leave me crying
Out to the sky, you can tell me why
Love could be alive, if your love is not a lie, woah, mmhm (Woah, mmhm)
[Interlude]
But you can't make me hush (Make me hush)
You know I'm all about the rush
[Chorus]
No one's gonna save you from yourself
And I hope that you feel better (I hope you do), better, I hope that you feel good
Ohhh-eyy (That you feel good, don't you feel good?)
And no one's gonna want you if you cry for help
(You can't just cry for, you can't just cry)
And I'm there now, I care now (I'm there), I'm there now
Yeah, oh-yeah, ooh
Yeah, yeah-eh, yeah, oh
Hush
[Verse 2]
If you can trust me
You just might be lucky in a thousand ways (Thousand ways)
N*gga, wassup, wassup? You fucked up
I don't hate, I just tough love, tough love
You think that you know, but you're out of control
I'm the ticking bomb and the detonator froze
Expose, yeah
And now you're exposed, exposed
[Interlude]
Explode, explode
Explode, explode, eh
[Chorus]
No one's gonna save you from yourself (Explode, explode, oooh)
And I hope that you feel better, better, better
And no one's gonna want you if you cry for help (Ex-, ain't sayin')
And I'm there now (Yeah), I'm there now (Yeah-yeah), I'm there now (Yeah)
Ooh (Yeah-yeah), ah-ah (Yeah)
No one's gonna save you from yourself (Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah)
And I hope that you feel better, better, better (Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah, yeeah-yeaah! Oooh-ooh, oooh-oooh!)
And no one's gonna want you if you cry for help (Save you from yourself!)
And I'm there now, I'm there now, I'm there now
Ooh, ah-ah (Yeah)
[Outro]
No-ooh, aah-aaah
Ooh-oooh, ohh-ohh, ohh-ohh
Ooooh-oooh

Background[]
Around 2013, Doja Cat previewed a snippet of the song to her Instagram account (now deleted). During late-2013, Doja would perform the song multiple times at bars and small venues.
On January 18, 2015, the song was uploaded to the producers SoundCloud account, The AQuadice, and is still currently available. It's likely the song was intended for THE REBIRTH mixtape or her Purrr! EP due to the song being a studio-recorded track, however this is unconfirmed.

- "TAKE YO BITCH" is the only other SoundCloud-exclusive song that wasn't released to her own account.
- The song's commonly mistaken to be one of Doja's many deleted SoundCloud songs.
