This version of Our Riotus Defects was an Itunes exclusive release until it was eventually released on all streaming services on November 8th of 2022. It features a slightly different chorus and new verse from Janelle Monáe.
[Intro: Kevin Barnes, Janelle Monáe]
You are such a crazy girl
You're are such a crazy girl
And I don’t know why I even tried to make you love me
I want it babe but you are just a
[Chorus: Kevin Barnes]
Crazy girl you are such a crazy girl and I don't why
I even try to help you (can't help you, can’t help you)
[Verse 1: Kevin Barnes]
When I first met you at that al-anon meeting
You made that reference to "All Your Goodies Are Gone"
And even sang a verse, I was amazed how husky your singing voice was
I wanted to talk to you so badly but I didn't know how to come on because
You've got that kind of beauty that makes people nervous
I know it's fucked, but before we got together I even hooked up with one of your cousins
Just to feel somehow closer to you
Because I knew like you guys were best friends and you talked everyday
And it was thrilling to touch something that had touched you
In my head you were like this goddess, but, in fact, you're just a
[Chorus: Kevin Barnes, Janelle Monáe]
Crazy girl
You're just a crazy girl
I don't know why I even try
To understand you (can't stand you, can’t stand you)
Your ass is crazy boy
You are so crazy boy
And I don’t know why I even try
To relate to you (can't wait for you, it’s too late for you)
[Verse 2: Janelle Monáe]
My god I should have realized, on our second date
When you dragged me into the bathroom at Tanika's house
And screamed at me for like twenty minutes
Cause I had contradicted you in front of your friends
I was like "oh"
And then later that night at my apartment
As punishment you killed my beta fish
Just threw it out the window
I did everything I could to make you happy
I participated in all your protests
Supported your stupid little blog
Got on the ring, you treated me like Don King
Still I never made fun of your World of Warcraft obsession
And now we're making [?] confessions
Baby it's you, it’s your untreated manic depression that makes me
[Chorus: Kevin Barnes, Janelle Monáe]
Crazy boy
You make me crazy boy
And I don't know why I even try to be a friend to you
Well... I think you're crazy girl, you are so crazy girl
And I don't know why I even try to make sense of you
Oh tell me why
Someone tell me why my heart's real weird for you still
[Interlude: Kevin Barnes]
I was like crazy fan over you
Like I'm all star struck over you
Like I'm getting handcuffed over you
(Now it's only fucked up)
[Outro: Kevin Barnes]
My frame works in constant confusion
I can't peel away the flowers of this psychic disturbance
And our riotous defects
Snowflakes, snow, snowflakes
