[Intro]
Admit it, admit it
Admit it, admit it
[Chorus]
What's been keepin' you high?
Who's been wastin' you time? (Yeah, yeah)
You were my pocket, pocket full of sunshine (Yeah, yeah)
I never killed for you but I've been doin' time
Yeah, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, yeah, I've been doin' time
[Verse 1]
We used to get together, share our sentimental thoughts (Uh-huh)
And lay inside this bed until the world was turnin' off (Okay)
I used to get a check and spend on you after my shows
And now it's funny, like a stranger I don't even know
But who you know that knew you better?
Who you know that do whatever?
Who you know that almost drowned in that rainstormy weather?
All them other girls, whatever, but we know this for the better
But
[Chorus]
What's been keepin' you high?
Who's been wastin' you time? (Yeah, yeah)
You were my pocket (Pocket, pocket), pocket full of sunshine (Yeah, yeah)
I never killed for you but I've been doin' time
Yeah, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, yeah, I've been doin' time
[Verse 2]
Can't get no peace of mind, yeah (We used to—)
We used to get together (Uh-huh) and make it all feel better (Oh, yeah)
Wintertime in Michigan, give you my only sweater (Oh, yeah)
I know I broke your heart (Uh-huh), I get the way you feel (I do)
It's been so hard to heal (It is)
Can't take back what was real (Uh-huh)
'Cause I wanna be, I wanna be where you are
Tell me what you need, yeah
Now somebody else, somebody else is in your arms
So tell me
[Chorus]
What's been keepin' you high? (Yeah, yeah)
Who's been wastin' you time? (Yeah, yeah)
Tell me who's been wastin' your time?
You were my pocket (Pocket, pocket), pocket full of sunshine (Yeah, yeah, you, ooh-ooh)
I never killed for you but I've been doin' time (Time)
Yeah, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, yeah, I've been doin' time
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, I've been doin' time
Yeah, ayy, yeah
I've been doin' time
