[Verse 1]
You used to live in this part of town
Until you hit the ground
She makes movies where she cries on cue

Promises never come filled
Takes the pills and hides the notices
Cartoon rings of ill will
[Chorus]
But it's okay
'Cause she's common in every way

With the strangers, pay the bills
[Verse 3]
Nobody special done a good thing

Taking advantage of that good thing
For nobody else
(Oooooh)
(Oooooh)
(Oooooh)
(Oooooh)
