[Part I]

[Verse 1]
Once upon a time there was a (Girl)
Girl and there was a serpent (Serpent)
Oh and her name was Eve (Eve)
And she took a bite from the apple (Apple)
And the story ain't this dissimilar, yeah
Many, many, many, many moons later
She'd be deceived by her very own traitor
And he weren't even my type on paper
Such sweet poetry he would write
The WhatsApp Shakespearе killer, we call him
Lies just to climb into your bеdroom door
Now you're fighting for your life on your bedroom floor
And then, oh, devil did send him
Heart of blue, black venom
My mother knew when she met him
Wolf in sheep's clothes, oh, but in this case, denim
Uh, cold-blood felon

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, mother would then mourn the ghost of her daughter
As he lured me in like a lamb to the slaughter
Yeah, yeah, sounds very dramatic, don't it?
A modern-day tragedy, I call it
It's a true story, it happened

[Chorus]
Oh, how he'd romance (Romance), on me, on me, on me
He'd WhatsApp call me, call me with a
"Wherefore art thou, true love?"
He strikes again, oh, he's a cursive kisser
He'd romance, on me, on me, on me
Romeo, oh, no, I was a fool to love you, damn
Juliet must run, Juliet must vanish
Damn it, cut him off, savage, he must be banished
The WhatsApp Shakespeare killer

[Verse 2]
I was still breathing, baby, just barely (Barely)
Grandma had to bring her Bible (Bible)
Sister wanna hunt him down
But only Jesus can save him now
Like-like-like Lazarus, I did rise
What a miracle she could survive
Last text sent in the dead of the night
When the light in her eyes left with him
Hold sis earrings, go get him

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, mother would then mourn the ghost of her daughter
As he lured me in like a lamb to the slaughter
Yeah, yeah, sounds very dramatic, don't it?
A modern-day tragedy, I call it
Not with thy flesh, but with thy words, he would

[Chorus]
Romance (Romance), on me, on me, on me
He'd WhatsApp call me, call me with a
"Wherefore art thou, true love?"
He strikes again, oh, he's a cursive kisser
He'd romance, on me, on me, on me
Romeo, oh, no, I was a fool to love you, damn
Juliet must run, Juliet must vanish
Damn it, cut him off, savage, he must be banished
The WhatsApp Shakespeare killer

[Outro]
Run, Juliet, run, Juliet, run
Silence all notifications
Forward this text to at least ten people, please
Thy words I plead from thy tongue
His weapons of mass seduction
My midsummer night nightmare
Don't end up like me

[Segue]
He's still out there, Romeo Fraud
He's a 6'2" sick mother—, five months minimum recovery
From a sweet lie to the all-out Shakespearean voice-note-ery
Though I'd love to clarify
No one did die in the story
But I did inside when I found out

[Part II]

[Intro]
I was one of seven other leading ladies
Starring in the new romantic thriller

[Verse]
Presenting the WhatsApp Shakespeare Killer
Ooh, he's a cursive kisser (Romeo Fraud)
He'd WhatsApp call me (Call me, call me with the, wow)
"Wherefore (Ooh) art thou (Mm), true love?" (Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na) Oh (Ba-bum, ba-bum, dum)

[Bridge]
He would romance
Where once I lived in the palm of his hand
And at the time, how could I understand?
Why now, I ask you to forward this message or face seven months' sadness

[Outro]
You better run
Stick it to the man
You better run while you can
Fact, your Uber's outside
Must learn the art of airtime
You never must reply
You must escape the clutches of this fake Prince Charming
A.k.a. the WhatsApp Shakespeare, darling, dun-dun, dun-dun-dun
