Lyrical Breakdown of Desperation - A Journey through Words and Rhymes

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)
