[Verse 1: Jesy Nelson, Jade Thirlwall with Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jesy Nelson + Leigh-Anne Pinnock]
Yeah, you're such a gentleman (Uh-huh)
You always open doors for me (Uh-huh)
But you see it's kind of different (Uh-huh)
It's like you always have to be
The first one to open his mouth (His mouth)
The last one to throw in your towel (Your towel)
It's time to chill yourself out (Ah-ah), boy, you're trying
Just a little bit too hard (Uh-huh)
I thought I told you when we met (Uh-huh)
That I like you for who you are (Uh-huh)
But I think you like an argument
I don't need to speak in my mind (My mind)
I'm too grown, I'm taking my time (My time)
I'm sick of hearing you whine (Ah-ah), listen, baby

[Pre-Chorus: Leigh-Anne Pinnock]
You don't have to come first, second is okay
Cause you ain't ever beating me

[Chorus: Jade Thirlwall with All]
I say it once, you say it twice
You know I like a little competition from time to time
You think I'm wrong when I know I'm right
You lose this ain't no kinda competition, I like a man with ambition
But when you gonna know it's time to let go?
Cause I think I'm about to lose my mind

[Verse 2: Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall with Leigh-Anne Pinnock]
Tell me, does it scare you (Uh-huh)
That I'm living my dream? (Uh-huh)
Now, I don't mean to hurt you (Uh-huh)
But you make me want to scre-a-a-am
You smile while grinding your teeth (Your teeth)
You clap while stomping your feet (Your feet)
You act about seventeen (Ah-ah), I'm so tired

[Pre-Chorus: Jade Thirlwall]
You don't have to come first, second is okay
Cause you ain't ever beating me

[Chorus: Jade Thirlwall with Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock & All]
I say it once, you say it twice
You know I like a little competition from time to time
You think I'm wrong (Ooh-ooh) when I know I'm right (Yeah)
You lose this ain't no kinda competition, I like a man with ambition
But when you gonna know it's time to let go?
Cause I think I'm about to lose my mind

[Post-Chorus: Jesy Nelson, Perrie Edwards & Jade Thirlwall & Leigh-Anne Pinnock]
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom
(I can do it better, you know, I can do it better)
(Ah-ah-ah, ay)

[Bridge: Jade Thirlwall]
What you trying to prove? What is it with you?
Always thinking
I can do it better, you know I can do it better
Baby, I can't stand all these arguments
Why you want to fight?

[Post-Bridge: Perrie & All]
Why you want to fight? You ain't always right
I can do it better every day and every night
I can do it better every day and every night

[Chorus: Jade]
I say it once, you say it twice
You know I like a little competition from time to time
You think I'm wrong when I know I'm right
You lose this ain't no kinda competition, I like a man with ambition
But when you gonna know it's time to let go?
Cause I think I'm about to lose my mind
