  • Choose your weapon, let's go
    Who's gonna beat this level?
    I speed up, you slow down
    Looks like I'm on your tail now
    Another round, do we give up?
    This is taking longer than Zelda
    Hold on, what I meant was
    Is it too late to get a one up?

    Baby, baby, baby this is getting too crazy
    I don't have the training
    Baby, baby, baby this love ain't a game
    So we should stop playing

    Push and shove, go ahead and take your aim
    We better duck, 'cause right now nobody's safe
    And we could grow up, but it's no fun that way
    And so we treat love like it's a Nintendo game
    But nobody wins

    (Nobody wins
    Nobody, nobody wins
    The game goes on)

    All the trashtalk is getting reload
    I'd rather try my hand at Rainbow Road
    I'm focused, play my next move
    But you're onto me so it's no use
    It's a showdown, a game for two
    Pick each other's brains looking for clues
    A battle with no objective
    Who will be the final one standing?

    Baby, baby, baby this is getting too crazy
    I don't have the training
    Baby, baby, baby this love ain't a game
    So we should stop playing

    Push and shove, go ahead and take your aim
    We better duck, 'cause right now nobody's safe
    And we could grow up, but it's no fun that way
    And so we treat love like it's a Nintendo game
    But nobody wins

    (Nobody wins)

    Push and shove, go ahead and take your aim
    We better duck, 'cause right now nobody's safe

    Push and shove, go ahead and take your aim
    We better duck, 'cause right now nobody's safe
    And we could grow up, but it's no fun that way
    And so we treat love like it's a Nintendo game
    But nobody wins Writer/s: Alessia Caracciolo, Kaleb Rollins, Marc Soto
