Been Like This
Doja Cat Lyrics

See you've been changin', baby
In good ways and bad ways
Can't say what I say, it's far too late

Since you've been like this (this, this, this)
Baby, I don't really wanna be in like this (this, this, this)
Ever since you've been like this (this, this, this)
Baby, I don't really wanna be in like this (this, this, this)

Who is frontin', baby?
We don't have fun these days
It's more than complicated, ah
(Could've said you wasn't wit' it)
Told me to stop my whining
When you gave up I tried
I gave you all this time
Gave you my everything
Said I can do this all night, baby
Said I was actin' out of line, maybe
Can't put my trauma to the side
When you told me I was lyin'
Had me feelin' I could die, baby
I seen a grown man cry, baby
To see you do it, ain't special, no
Wonder when I ain't there
What the fuck you've been sayin'
Talking 'bout how I say shit, oh
And I know it might mess you up
Hate me, gon' get you love
Ain't nobody gon' set you up
I ain't even gon' sweat you, love
And we'll never be friends like this
God couldn't forgive like this
Way I really went in like this
Thank God I ain't been like this, yeah

Since you've been like this (this, this, this)
Baby, I don't really wanna be in like this (this, this, this)
Ever since you've been like this (this, this, this)
Baby, I don't really wanna be in like this (this, this, this)

Since you've been like this
I bless your heart (like this)
But I, I can't take no more (like this)
I bless your heart (like this)
But I, I can't take no more

(Baby, I don't really wanna be in like this)

(Since you've been like this)
(Baby, I don't really wanna be in like this)

The lyrics to Doja Cat's song "Been Like This" appear to be about a relationship that has changed and become complicated. The singer seems to want to distance themselves from the changes their partner has undergone, saying "Baby, I don't really wanna be in like this" multiple times. The second verse suggests that the relationship used to be fun, but has become more difficult because of the changes in the partner's behavior. The third verse touches on trauma and accusations of lying, suggesting that there may be some trust issues in the relationship.

The chorus is repeated several times throughout the song, which gives the impression that the singer is stuck in a repeating pattern with their partner. They repeatedly express their desire to distance themselves from the relationship and the person their partner has become. The line "God couldn't forgive like this" suggests that the situation is quite serious, and that forgiveness may not be possible.

Overall, the lyrics to "Been Like This" paint a picture of a relationship that has changed for the worse. The singer seems to be trying to distance themselves from the changes in their partner's behavior, which are causing them pain and discomfort.

Since you've been like this
Since you have been acting this way towards me

Baby, I don't really wanna be in like this
I don't want to be in a relationship where you behave like this

Ever since you've been like this
Since the time you started behaving like this

See you've been changin', baby
I see that you have changed

In good ways and bad ways
Your changes have been both positive and negative

Can't say what I say, it's far too late
It's too late for me to express my feelings about your changes

And I think you've made me, baby
I think your changes have affected me

Made me too nervous
Your changes have made me anxious

Cryin' and this hurt and I gotta tell you why
Your changes have caused me pain and I need to explain it to you

Who is frontin', baby?
Who is pretending in this relationship?

We don't have fun these days
We don't enjoy spending time together anymore

It's more than complicated, ah
Our relationship has become too complicated

(Could've said you wasn't wit' it)
You should have told me you weren't interested in me earlier

Told me to stop my whining
You asked me to stop complaining

When you gave up I tried
When you gave up on us, I continued to try

I gave you all this time
I invested a lot of time in our relationship

Gave you my everything
I gave you my all

Said I can do this all night, baby
I said I am willing to put in the effort for the long haul

Said I was actin' out of line, maybe
You accused me of behaving inappropriately, perhaps

Can't put my trauma to the side
I cannot ignore my past emotional wounds

When you told me I was lyin'
When you accused me of lying

Had me feelin' I could die, baby
You made me feel like I was going to die

I seen a grown man cry, baby
I witnessed a man break down in tears

To see you do it, ain't special, no
To see you cry is not something unique or special

Wonder when I ain't there
I wonder what you do when I am not around

What the fuck you've been sayin'
What have you been saying about me?

Talking 'bout how I say shit, oh
You talk about how I speak and act

And I know it might mess you up
I know it might hurt you

Hate me, gon' get you love
Hating me will not help you find love

Ain't nobody gon' set you up
No one is going to intentionally hurt you

I ain't even gon' sweat you, love
I am not going to stress over you

And we'll never be friends like this
We cannot be friends while in this state of our relationship

God couldn't forgive like this
This state of our relationship is unforgivable in the eyes of God

Way I really went in like this
The way I expressed myself was intense

Thank God I ain't been like this, yeah
Thankfully, I have not been behaving like this lately

I bless your heart (like this)
I appreciate you (in this state of our relationship)

But I, I can't take no more (like this)
But I cannot tolerate this situation any longer

(Baby, I don't really wanna be in like this)
I don't want to be in this kind of relationship

(Since you've been like this)
Ever since you started behaving like this

(Baby, I don't really wanna be in like this)
I do not want to be in a relationship like this
