  • When I ride by myself
    I don't ever get no help
    But when I roll up with her
    Everybody calls me sir
    No matter how long I stay
    They never ever know my name
    But when I walk in with her
    Everybody calls me sir

    Northern California, same old Friday night
    Pretend to be invisible underneath these city lights
    Then I met my baby, felt like I struck gold
    Now they treat me like royalty everywhere I go
    Oh, oh, oh, oh

    When I ride by myself
    I don't ever get no help
    But when I roll up with her
    Everybody calls me sir
    No matter how long I stay
    They never ever know my name
    But when I walk in with her
    Everybody calls me sir

    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    Call me sir
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh, oh

    I ain't goin' nowhere unless he's there with me
    'Cause I don't stand in line no more, admissions always free
    He could break the law, he could break your heart in two
    But I promise that you won't care when he smiles at you
    Oh, oh, oh, oh

    When I ride by myself
    I don't ever get no help
    But when I roll up with her
    Everybody calls me sir
    No matter how long I stay
    They never ever know my name
    But when I walk in with her
    Everybody calls me sir (come on!)

    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    Call me sir
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    Call me sir
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    Call me sir
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh, oh

    Every time we hit the streets it's like a world premier
    She makes me feel like Sia swinging from that chandelier
    Went from marginally famous to the top of the A-list
    And just for future reference, here's a tip Mr. Belvedere
    Never judge a book by it's cover
    And never judge an ugly duckling by his mother
    The frog prince got kissed, her lips granted his wish
    It's a sad world when your net worth determines your lover, but
    What would I ever do without you, huh?
    I prolly wouldn't have a clue without you
    But one thing's for sure when I pull up with her
    Don't refer to me as Travie, you can

    You can call me sir
    What would I ever do without you?
    What would I ever do without you? (Call me sir)
    What would I ever do without you?
    Call me sir
    What would I ever do without you?
    What would I ever do without you? (Call me sir)
    What would I ever do without you?
