You can view the lyrics, alternate interprations and sheet music for Melanie Martinez's High School Sweethearts at Lyrics.org.
And basically, what she is telling them is not to be a “a waste of (her) time”. That is to say that they should not even approach her unless they are ready for a long-term commitment, as in marriage.Moreover, they must be prepared to genuinely display love throughout.And if a guy deceives her into believing that he is so just to achieve his own aims, she will “rip (his) [expletive] face apart”. Simply put, she’ll seek retribution at full force if deceived.
Did Melanie Martinez write “High School Sweethearts”?
Yes, she did. However, Melanie didn’t compose the song allby herself. She received writing assistance from songwriter Michael Keenan (whois also credited as the tune’s producer).

It means “step 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11” are all one and the same. She did that to emphasize the importance of “no cheating really means NO CHEATING”

If you knew the song and what it meant, you would know it’s her best friend that is in love with the teacher and he is aware of that and always flirts with her, listen to the lyrics carefully before calling yourself a Melanie fan!

Why does Highschool Sweethearts line,”Can we just be honest these are the requirements if you think you can be my (one and only true love)” part sound sooo familiar to me? Do ya’ll know if that part and way she said love is from a song?
