The irony at the heart of this song is watching someone give their new person the energy you once asked for. She reaches out, then retreats, making 'better judgment calls' now that she has him, treating me like a stranger. The outro shifts tone: despite the frustration, I acknowledge that what we had felt deeper than romance, and part of me wishes we could salvage a friendship from it. But there's also a critical edge. If you're going to move on, at least raise your standards.

[intro] Andura [chorus] Beloved, it's something that you're setting boundaries (ayy, ayy) Cause where was that when you first found me? I made you royalty but claimed the wrong king Eek OK girl, I know the old you would fold to (alright) Who could even get a hold of you, I know you And since you're gone, you're doing everything I told you So tell me why you brand new Brand new on me [verse] Hit you the first time in weeks (ayy) Block him and call me is crazy work But I was still open to speak Sharing our feelings and empty words But still, that for you was a feat Oh, now you loyal cause I taught you how to be Ayy [bridge] If I was insecure, then what is he? If we cannot be friends, we're enemies So don't expect to heal in 6 to 7 weeks Cause you switch up on me whenever you please Oh my [chorus] Beloved, it's something that you're setting boundaries (ayy, ayy) Cause where was that when you first found me? I made you royalty but claimed the wrong king Eek OK girl, I know the old you would fold to (alright) Who could even get a hold of you, I know you And since you're gone, you're doing everything I told you So tell me why you brand new Brand new on me [hook] Brand new Brand new Brand new Brand new on me Brand new Brand new Brand new (alright) [outro] Mi amor, I found your kinks and more In return, exploited all the chinks in my armor Tell me, what is love to you when easily enamored? Now I'm the only one I'd ever do anything for, ayy But you was more than that to me So I wish we could we could be friends No stranger to women, I can give that love back to them But the spark that we once had It never even "came & went" You looking for validation? Get it from better men Cause you letting the JVs put on the Letterman
