[Intro]
Da-da, da-da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-da, da-da

[Verse 1]
Almost made me lose my cool for a minute
Almost forgot who I am for minute
Almost forgot that you should count all your lucky stars
That you ever even had me for a minute (Woo)

[Pre-Chorus]
I mind my business and I still get burned (Still get burned)
But it's only painful if I let it hurt (Let it hurt)
Go ahead and fill up all your voids with parts of her
I won't be holding my breath

[Chorus]
You said, "I'm happy that I found you" (Happy that I found you)
But, boy, you went in for the kill (For the kill)
You said, "I've never, ever, ever met a girl like you" (Boy)
And, boy, you never will (Never will, never will)
Boy, you never will

[Post-Chorus]
Da-da, da-da, da-da-da
Da-da, da-da, da-da (Woo)

[Verse 2]
No one's gonna see you and hear you and feel you quite as well
Don't tell me you can't tell
How can you notice what a real thing is
If you don't even know yourself? Yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Go mind your Ps and Qs, I'll mind my own (Mind my own)
But don't you come knocking when you're alone (You're alone)
'Cause I have been pushed as far as I can go
And I won't hold my breath

[Chorus]
You said, "I'm happy that I found you" (Happy that I found you)
But, boy, you went in for the kill (For the kill)
You said, "I've never, ever, ever met a girl like you" (Boy)
And, boy, you never will (Never will, never will)
Boy, you never will

[Bridge]
You won't get any of my tears, no, not this time
Lucky for you, I have been hurt enough to know I'll be fine

[Pre-Chorus]
I mind my business and I still get burned
I'm too young to care, too old to let it hurt
I am not a second choice if I'm not the first
So don't hold your breath

[Chorus]
You said, "I'm happy that I found you," yeah (Happy that I found you)
But, boy, you went in for the kill (For the kill)
You said, "I've never, ever, ever met a girl like you" (Boy)
And, boy, you never will (Never will, never will)
Said, boy, you never will (Never will, never will)
Boy, you never will (Da-da, da-da, da-da)

Alessia Cara

Alessia Caracciolo is a singer-songwriter from Brampton, Ontario, Canada. Upon the release of her first single, “Here”, she shortened her last name because it was “so long and spelled crazy.”

Cara started posting covers on her YouTube channel at the age of 13. She first started to gain popularity when she posted a cover of Justin Timberlake’s “Mirrors.” Soon after, her cover of The Neighbourhood’s “Sweater Weather” took off. These covers got her signed to EP Entertainment and later, Def Jam.

Her first single, “Here” premiered on The FADER on April 27th, 2015, and blew up soon after. Just four months later, the song racked up 18 million Spotify streams in addition to 4.5 million views on its official video.
