Girl, you give me writer's block, I'm at a loss for words Uhh, my mind's as lost as yours I rack my brain but still no thoughts emerge Never seen no ass as large as yours How much that cost? That's what I call a Roethlissplurge You drive me bonkers, I'm about to get my swerve on for sure Thought I was pimpin' 'til I felt like Nas, the first Date 'cause I think I gave you power When I gave you flowers in a vase A box of chocolates, throat lozengers, cough drops and Certs Probably shoulda never let me call that job of yours To talk to your boss and ask him if you can take off from work Shoulda been one of the first signs to cause alert Man, we jumped in too fast 'Cause since then I just can't be apart from her 'Cause nobody's body's awesomer I lust her and she loves me 'cause I'm popular But you know this ain't love (You know this ain't love) Oh no (Oh, this ain't love) You know this ain't love (Oh, this ain't love), oh no What is it then? It's desperation (She's looking for Mr. Right) (Hey!) Wants me to be that guy to her It's desperation (I can't even put up a fight) (Hey!) 'Cause I give in at the sight of her And I here I go again You were obviously oblivious to me I swore I was just invisible to you 'Til I went to the lengths I did to meet you 'Cause you played so hard to get with me from The beginning, now I'm in disbelief, I Never knew that this could be such misery, ah 'Cause now you see nothing but me And I don't see nothing but you And I'm about to flip 'cause we are—super glued in We stuck to each other's hips and we can't Do anything individually, which is to cling on Scared to be alone, can't specifically describe it I just can't seem to give a reason That's definitive, just need ya Talkin' about I live and breathe ya And you pretend to be as mentally and physically Addicted to me as Wiz Khalifa is to reefer Don't wanna be without you Don't wanna be with you neither Bitch, put me in a situation in which it's both I wish to seek 'Cause this ain't love You know this ain't love, oh no (Oh, this ain't love) You know this ain't love (Oh, this ain't love), oh no What is it then? It's desperation (She's looking for Mr. Right) (Hey!) Wants me to be that guy to her It's desperation (I can't even put up a fight) (Hey!) 'Cause I give in at the sight of her And I here I go again Just want you to myself Don't wanna share you with no one else "What the fuck you whisperin' for? You get on my nerves, you make me sick I think our relationship, it seems to be on the fritz I mean it's time that we just split and leave the Games behind, your frame of mind ain't the same as mine I think you need to finish developing a little more mentally to get the picture" That's a negative, Alicia, I will never give the keys up To the crib ever again, no Visa Not even a gift certificate from Tiffany's You better have an epiphany, slut Guess what? (What?) The lease up I'm just mad the time it took to discover You were usin' me for loot like I used you for looks Oh, thought you was too good for me, huh? Yeah, toots, used to be my Carrie Underwood I was your lumberjack But I can't stomach this, I'm leavin' you, I'm not comin' back She said, "The fuck with that! Where's my Louisville Slugger at?" She grabbed that fuckin' bat And swung it at my head, I barely ducked and that's Right when she came up with a kick to the nuts twice Steel toe, girl probably coulda put a 100-yard field goal Through the uprights You know this ain't love, oh no (Oh, this ain't love) You know this ain't love (Oh, this ain't love), oh no What is it then? It's desperation (She's looking for Mr. Right) (Hey!) Wants me to be that guy to her Lord, it's desperation (I can't even put up a fight) (Hey!) 'Cause I give in at the sight of her Desperation (And I here I go again)
