[Verse 1]
Talked to

Come on, is it better than me?
[Chorus]
Ninety nine

Looks are deceiving
Staring at the ceiling
Such a cryin' shame
Looks are deceiving
Now you're staring at the ceiling
[Chorus]
Ninety nine
Percent of the time
She lives in her hand
I can't understand why
Ninety nine
Percent of the time
She lives in her hand
I can't understand why
[Outro]
Ninety nine
Ninety nine
Ninety nine
It's always ninety nine
