Fans have been in a frenzy trying to figure out the correct lyrical order — some even physically copying and pasting the pieces together.

Earlier this morning, Cara caved and gave her followers the first part of the song's lyrics. Check it out below, and keep trying to piece together the rest of it — or just wait until June 15 to hear it in its final form.
