Lyrics
The good and bad and
The in between,
Can’t really know
An image on a screen.
Guess it’s my fault
I’m feeling all alone,
I spend my nights staring at a phone.
They say they’re single,
They say they’re tall,
They say they’re rich,
They lie about it all.
I ask myself what is a girl to do,
This Is my life but I’m just passing through.
Swipe left, that’s right,
Out of mind, out of sight,
Can’t win, won’t lose,
I got the stuck-on Tinder blues.
Impersonation,
A masquerade,
It’s all a game, and
Someone’s getting played,
I could find love
Or find I’ve been a fool.
How do you know when no one knows the rules?
They’ve all got dreams, and
Goals they pursue,
They say they’re honest,
They lie about that too.
In love and war, discretion is your friend,
I won’t give up, but I won’t give in.
Swipe left, that’s right,
Hanging loose, playing tight,
Can’t stop, won’t choose,
I got the stuck-on Tinder blues.
Swipe left, that’s right,
Out of mind, out of sight,
Can’t win, won’t lose,
I got the stuck-on Tinder blues.
