[Verse 1]
A shining badge, a suit to match
Bit my nails down so they wouldn't scratch
But who believes with knees like these?
I'll take two of 'em, please

[Pre-Chorus]
With soft skin, soft eyes
All these beautiful laughs and beautiful thighs
They always kept me up at night
But I can't change my appetite

[Chorus]
'Cause your pussy is a wonderland
And I could be a better man
It doesn't matter to me
Yeah, your pussy is a wonderland
And I could be a better man
It doesn't matter to me

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause he is she is her
And her and he are love
And I have never felt the difference
'Cause he is she is her
And her and he are love
Tired of all these labels

[Verse 2]
And my girl, she always wore a skirt in the classroom
Eatin' my dessert in the bathroom
Can't get caught, so we stiller than a statue
Bad news, think I'll probably die before I have you

[Pre-Chorus]
Soft skin, soft eyes
All these beautiful laughs and beautiful thighs
They always kept me up at night
But l live for lovin' impolite

[Chorus]
'Cause your pussy is a wonderland
And I could be a better man
It doesn't matter to me
Yeah, your pussy is a wonderland
And I could be a better man
It doesn't matter to me

[Post-Chorus]
'Cause he is she is her
And her and he are love
And I have never felt the difference
'Cause he is she is her
And her and he are love
Tired of all these labels

[Outro]
'Cause he is she is her
And her and he are love
And I have never felt the difference
'Cause he is she is her
And her and he are love
Tired of all these labels

Halsey is the stage name of New Jersey singer Ashley Nicolette Frangipane. It is an anagram of her first name and reference to the Halsey Street subway stop and street in Brooklyn where she used to live. The bio on her website

I am Halsey. I will never be anything but honest. I write songs about sex and being sad."

Halsey was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when she was 17. This has greatly influenced her creative process from the start of her career. Songs like “Control” and “Gasoline” explicitly delve into her psychological and emotional battles. Manic, Halsey’s third album and arguably her rawest and most emotionally vulnerable, was written in a fully manic state rather than a depressive one.
