[Intro]
Oh
[Verse 1]
Had the keys to her front door
I could come and go anytime I please
But I started bringin' other women in her home
So she made me give her back her keys
Even had access to her fine car
And I could ride around in style all over town
But I started ridin' around other women in her car
And she took it and put my feet on the ground
[Pre-Chorus]
So I was thinkin' about goin' to this surgeon
And have them cut my hands off down to my wrist bone
[Chorus]
'Cause it seems like, oh Lord, huh
I mess up everything, mess up everything I get my hands on
I mess it up, ha
Hoo, I guess you can call me the world's biggest goof-off
'Cause it seems like I mess up everything I get my hands on
Mess it up, I mess it up
Oh, hah!
[Verse 2]
Anything I wanted to eat, boys, ha-ha
From a t-bone to the finest caviar
Started bringin' other women home for dinner
Now she won't buy me the caviar
I had a king-sized bed to sleep in
She changed the sheets and pillow cases everyday
She walked in on me makin' love to a little woman
Now I ain't got nowhere to stay, hey!
[Pre-Chorus]
I was thinkin' 'bout goin' to this surgeon
And let them cut my hands off down to my wrist bone
[Chorus]
'Cause it seems like, oh Lord
I mess up everything, mess up everything I get my hands on
I mess it up
Hoo, I guess you can call me the world's biggest goof-off
'Cause it seems like, ha
I mess up everything I get my hands on
I mess it up, I mess it up
I goof it off, I mess it up, ha
[Post-Chorus]
Can't seem to hold it, can't seem to hold it
Gon' get these hands cut off down to the bone, ha
I mess up everything I get these hands on
Somehow I drop it, somehow I lose it, hey
Somehow I drop it, somehow I lose it, hey
What's wrong with me that I can't hold on?
What's wrong with me that I can't hold on?
