Poppy “Her” lyrics

Give her a face
Give her a reputation
That isn’t hers
Then make her yours
Say she’s adored
Name her a whore
Then choose her up
Throw her on the ground
I’m attending to know her
And all of her anger
You received’t acknowledge her
If you happen to encountered
I’m attending to know her
And all of her anger
Picked herself up
Put her again collectively
Give her a style
Take it away
Underneath your thumb
Inform her to remain
Don’t say a phrase
Don’t disobey
When she awoke
She ran away
Run your mouth to maintain her scared
You anticipated her to care
However when her thoughts made up
You had been illfully ready
Have you ever noticed
And what have you ever realized
The woman that you just knew
Won’t ever be yours
