Lyrics
Drop
(I'm good) (ha)
Hook
Novocaine! (numb!) Smile on! (on!)
"Girl, I'm good," I been sayin' that for so long
Novocaine! (numb!) Can't feel my face! (nope!)
Laughin' at the party while I count every exit in the place
I'm good! (she good!) I'm fine! (she fine!)
Ask me one more time and I'ma lose it in the wine aisle.
Verse 1
Birthday dinner, rooftop, I'm the one who made the list
Picked the playlist, split the check, remembered who don't eat fish
Everybody say "you glowin'." It's highlighter. It's twelve dollars.
I cried in the Lyft so hard the driver turned the radio down. Offered
Me a napkin from the glovebox. I said "allergies." He said "okay."
Five stars. Tipped him ten. Fixed my face in the elevator. Hey!
"Heyyy!" That voice. You know the voice. Octave up. All teeth.
I can do it for six hours. Then I can't feel my feet.
My therapist say "what do you need?" I say "I'm good, how are you?"
She wrote that down. Underlined it. That's when I knew I was through.
Hook
Novocaine! (numb!) Smile on! (on!)
"Girl, I'm good," I been sayin' that for so long
Novocaine! (numb!) Can't feel my face! (nope!)
Laughin' at the party while I count every exit in the place
Verse 2
It started when my daddy left. I was nine. I made a joke.
Whole room laughed. I learned right there: be funny and don't choke.
Twenty years of being easy, being chill, being fun
Being the friend you call at three a.m. and never being one
Who call. Last Tuesday in the Kroger by the wine
A stranger said "you dropped this." It was nothin'. It was a dime.
And I just broke. Aisle nine. Ugly. Loud. Snot. The whole thing.
She ain't run. She held my cart. Said "baby, let it sting."
I don't know her name. I think about her every day.
Novocaine wore off in aisle nine. I felt it. I'm okay.
Bridge
How are you? (I'm good)
No. How are you? (...)
I'm not. I'm not good.
(AND I FELT THAT!)
Final Hook
Novocaine! (gone!) Smile off! (off!)
"Girl, I'm not good," and the whole sky ain't fall
Novocaine! (gone!) I feel my face! (yep!)
Cryin' at the party and nobody left the place
I'm not good! (that's fine!) I'm here! (she here!)
Ask me one more time. I'll tell the truth this year.
