[Intro]
I know she likes me like that
I know she likes me like that
Hey, you've called Paul. Please leave a message.
Oh, for fuck's sake
[Verse 1]
You see
From the beginning she showed
A little bit of her true colours, I should've been Bruce Willis
And not take it no more
'Cause it wasn't a real thing, no faith no more, a little like Biggie Smalls
I guess I was way out of my depth
My head just above the water, she was Jaws to flesh, a
Serial man-eater, little Hannibal Lector
Suppressin' energy just like I was Tesla, and
[Refrain 1]
You and the government watchin' me, smotherin'
Every little step that I took, do do do do
It's like I had another Queen
Rockin' in the Buckingham Palace for some lovin, do do do
And she said, "I'm watchin' you sleeping
Count every breath that you're takin', baby"
She said, "Agree upon it
If I find you cheatin' on me I'ma fuckin' find you, boy"
[Chorus 1]
Twenty-four hours of sunlight
So you can keep one eye on me all the time
You need to be you, girl
You need to be you
So that I could say
So I could say
[Post-Chorus]
I ain't over the moon, I ain't over, I ain't over the moon
I ain't over, I ain't over the moon, girl
You need to be you, but together we foolish
I'm tellin' you truth'ly, I ain't over the moon
I ain't over, I ain't over the moon
I ain't over, I ain't over the moon, girl
You need to be you, but together we foolish
Girl, what the hell are we doin'?
[Verse 2]
So I don't think we should see each other anymore
I can't carry you, baby, I'm suddenly stuck with menopause
Men would pause when they seein' you on the street
I'm runnin' the other way like the finish line it was jinxed
'Cause girl, you were the worst fun, like the Gravitron
Fights turn you on like puttin' water in a water bomb
You were the bomb to any them outside
As soon as the door close you're turnin' to Alkida, and
[Refrain 2]
I was the government watchin' me, smotherin'
Every little step that I took, do do do do
Like I had another lover
Couldn't even speak to my mother with that look, so do do do
And she said, "I'm watchin' you sleeping
Count every breath that you takin', baby"
She said, "Believe me
If I find you think you're leavin' me I'ma fuckin' find you, boy"
[Chorus 2]
Twenty-four hours of sunlight
So you can keep one eye on me all the time
You need to be you, girl
You need to be you, you need to be you, you need to be you
So that I could say, so I could say
So I could say, so I could say
[Bridge]
I lie, she lies, we lie back
We lay on a bed of nails
I lie, she lies, we lie back
But only to ourselves, she wants
[Chorus 3]
Twenty-four hours of sunlight
So you can keep one eye on me all the time
You need to be you, you need to be you, girl
You need to be you, so I could see what type of man that I could be
[Outro]
She said, "We can not be friends"
She said, "We can not be friends"
"We can not be friends"
Hey, believe me, now
All the drama I can live without
