Theme[]
Ashnikko spoke about the song's theme via Apple Music:[1]
“ | I was dealing with some very toxic men in the music industry and toxic boys in my life and was just like, “I’m over it. Don’t treat me like shit anymore. I literally will not tolerate it.” I was understanding what boundaries were. There’s sadness here, for sure, and I think a real disappointment with men. It’s less “Go fuck yourself” and more like “Please stop placing your emotional trauma onto me and just pay for therapy.” I think the people who listen to my music will appreciate the vulnerability. It’s very important to me that people understand that it’s not all confidence. | ” |

Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
Oh, you think you're worth all the fuss?
You think a bitch is settled like the dust, but I'm out of here
There's not a man on earth that I'll trust
You can keep the image of my butt as a souvenir
[Pre-Chorus]
Unfortunately, you made the mistake of underestimatin' me
Coulda, shoulda, woulda but you did it, ha
It's a therapist you need
Coulda, shoulda, would've, fuck it
[Chorus]
Little boy, who you think you're talkin' to?
Please don't think that the sex is gonna cloud my view
'Cause I'm done toleratin' bullshit
Give you my love and you don't know what to do with it
Little boy, who you, who you think you're talkin' to?
Please don't think that the sex is gonna cloud my view
'Cause I'm done toleratin' bullshit
Give you my love and you don't know what to do with it
[Verse 2]
Women hold the weight of the world
But you still talk down and call me little girl
I hate that shit
It's a no if she needs to be coerced
My body's not an object or dessert
I am not your bitch
I am not your bitch, wanna see me switch?
Get psycho like they say I am
Scared of me, you flinch
I don't need your inches
Y'all in my mentions
I feel fuckboy rich
Think you're slick?
I burn bridges quick
I won't sacrifice my humanity
Sanity for the dick, I won't
[Pre-Chorus]
Unfortunately, you made the mistake of underestimatin' me
Coulda, shoulda, woulda but you did it, ha
It's a therapist you need
Coulda, shoulda, would've, fuck it
[Chorus]
Little boy, who you think you're talkin' to?
Please don't think that the sex is gonna cloud my view
'Cause I'm done toleratin' bullshit
Give you my love and you don't know what to do with it
Little boy, who you, who you think you're talkin' to?
Please don't think that the sex is gonna cloud my view
'Cause I'm done toleratin' bullshit
Give you my love and you don't know what to do with it
[Outro]
Little boy
Who you, who you think you're talkin' to?
Who you think you're talkin' to?
Little boy
Who you, who you think you're talkin' to?
Who you think you're talkin' to?
(Hey grandpa, drop the beat)
[Verse 1]
Oh, you think you're worth all the fuss?
You think a bitch is settled like the dust, but I'm out of here
There's not a man on earth that I'll trust
You can keep the image of my butt as a souvenir
[Pre-Chorus]
Unfortunately, you made the mistake of underestimatin' me
Coulda, shoulda, woulda but you did it, ha
It's a therapist you need
Coulda, shoulda, would've, fuck it
[Chorus]
Little boy, who you think you're talkin' to?
Please don't think that the sex is gonna cloud my view
'Cause I'm done toleratin' bullshit
Give you my love and you don't know what to do with it
Little boy, who you, who you think you're talkin' to?
Please don't think that the sex is gonna cloud my view
'Cause I'm done toleratin' bullshit
Give you my love and you don't know what to do with it
[Verse 2]

Little boy
Who you, who you think you're talkin' to?
Who you think you're talkin' to?
Who you, who you think you're talkin' to?
Who you think you're talkin' to?
