Before you date a reader, you've been warned
You're up against a guy who died in chapter four
You said: I read a bit, I saw two books
Didn't see the TBR behind the door
If you date a reader, read the fine print
You're the side character, their book boyfriends are the main event
Bite a lip (hey) you might get lucky tonight
Tears on a page, say goodbye to your plans on sight
If you date a reader, sign the consent
To random sobbing over characters that never even existed, yeah
If you date a reader, you've been warned, that's it
(You've been warned, you've been warned, that's it, oh)
(You've been warned, you've been warned, that's it)
Before you date a reader, you should probably call your bank
Make up heels a little dinner, yeah, you've got that in the tank
But then she sees deluxe edition and your budget starts to shake
One signed copy, cute, three sprayed edges, big mistake
So, if you wanna love a reader, get in line behind the cast
Billionaires and faded mates and princes with tragic pasts
You're competing with an army on an overcrowded shelf (hey)
If you date a reader, sign the consent
For just one chapter till 3 AM hits
Yeah, if you date a reader, you've been warned, that's it
(You've been warned, you've been warned, that's it, hey)
(You've been warned, you've been warned, that's it, hey)
You'll learn their type, enemies to lovers
You'll learn their vibe, 300 year old phase and faded mates
You'll learn, book hangover, means cancelling plans again
If you date a reader, read the fine print
You'll learn real quick, where you stand
Somewhere between a book (hey, hey, hey)
And her fictional men
If you date a reader, sign the consent (hey)
To be loved in footnotes and blood twist
Yeah, I date a reader and I won't quit
(I've been warned, I've been warned, that's it, hey)
(I've been warned, I've been warned, that's it, hey)
