[Verse 1]
Scrapes on her knees and blood on her skirt
He pushed her on playground, six years old
Dried her eyes and brushed off the dirt
Shut her mouth, ran all the way home

[Pre-Chorus]
"Mama, mama, what do I do?"
"You bite back if he bites you."
"But mama, mama, what if I lose?"
"You do what you have to do."

[Chorus]
Before you take a bite, babe
You better be ready, some girls bite back
Before you take a bite, babe
You better be ready, some girls bite back

[Post-Chorus]
Bite, bite
Ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da
Bite, bite
Ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

[Verse 2]
Dead in the eyes, and back on the floor
Pushed her in the penthouse, twenty years old
Four in the morning, streets of New York
Don't wanna call home, but she's so cold
[Pre-Chorus]
"Mama, mama, here's what I'll do
He bites me, I'll bite him too
And, mama, mama, I won't lose
I'll do what I have to do."

[Chorus]
Before you take a bite, babe
You better be ready, some girls bite back
Before you take a bite, babe
You better be ready, some girls bite back

[Post-Chorus]
Bite, bite
Ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da
Bite, bite
Ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da

[Bridge]
Staring at the carpet, hands on her shoulder
Locked in his office, ten years older
Bared her fangs, cause now she's bolder
And when her little girl asked, she just told her

[Pre-Chorus]
"Mama, mama knows what to do
I fight back, and so will you
Cause I'm your mama, and we never lose
We bite back when we need to."
[Interlude]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah, ay
Yeah, yeah-eah-eah-eah

[Chorus]
Before you take a bite, babe
You better be ready, some girls bite back
Before you take a bite, babe
You better be ready, some girls bite back

[Post-Chorus]
Bite, bite
Ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da-da-da-da
Bite, bite
Ba-da-da-da-da-da, ba-da-da
