  • When I was younger I used to wonder like

    If I was singing songs, just to sing the songs
    Or if was singing cause that's what the bitches wanted
    I couldn't play guitar like Van Halen
    Had no secret chords like Saint David
    But you still came around, ate your lunch with me
    Used to park your car to try to bus with me
    But I would say girl don't be dumb, I'm riding shotgun
    We could go to my house after school after school, after school
    Cause my dad don't clock off 'til late, off 'til late, off 'til late
    We could kick it in the living room
    Looking through my whole vinyl collection
    And you could teach me how to slow dance or something
    And I'mma give you chills harmonizing to Otis, Isley, Marvin

    And everytime somebody asked me
    If I sing songs to get at women, I say yeah
    They say no fair no fair that's cheating
    I say shit, oh well, oh well
    And everytime a nigga asks me
    If I sing songs to get at women, I say yeah
    They say no fair, no fair that's cheating
    I say boy don't judge cause hell if you were me
    You'd be singin' to her, like lah dah dah dah

    Now I'm in the lab, always working late
    Always sleeping past, the breakfast she makes
    She used to stop by, come and holla at me
    Put her purse down and try to battle rap me
    She don't do that no more, no more, no more
    Don't even listen to the songs I record
    But she be banging that Drake in my car
    I'm so far gone, she stay blasting Trey and his songs
    All damn day long, it's like she never heard of me

    Now everytime somebody asks me
    If I sing songs to get at women
    I say naw they say okay I don't believe it
    I say nope I swear I never do it
    And everytime a nigga asks me
    If I sing songs to get at women, I say naw
    They say who do you think you're kidding
    I know you, you stole my girlfriend, fair enough
    You see I just don't play fair, but it's fair enough
    Cause yo girl broke my heart in half
    Now I'm singing 'bout heartbreak
    And now I'm singing 'bout love lost Writer/s: Christopher Breaux, Nathan Perez
