Came into the world as a reject 
Look into these eyes 
Then you'll see the size of the sags 
That are pulli'n on my past 
Burnin' on my brain 
Everyone that burns has to learn from the pain 
Hey, I think about the day 
My girlie went away with my pay 
And these fellas came to play 
Now she's stuck with my homies that she fucked 
And I'm just a sucker with a lump in my throat 

Like a chump 

Should I be feelin' bad 
Should I be feelin' good 
It's kinda sad I'm the laughing stock of the neighborhood 
And you'd be figured I'd be movin' on 
But I'm a sucker like I said 
Fucked up in the head, not! 
And maybe she just made a mistake 
And I should give her a break 
But my heart will ache either way 
Hey, what the hell, what you want me to say? 
I won't lie, that I can't deny 

I did it all for the nookie, c'mon 
The nookie, c'mon 
So you can take that cookie 
And stick it up your yeah! 

Stick it up your yeah! 
Stick it up your yeah! 
Stick it up your 

Why did it take so long 
Why did I take so long, huh 
To figure it out, but I didn't 
And I'm the only one 
Underneath the sun who didn't get it 
I can't believe that I can be deceived 
By my so-called girl, but in reality 
She had a hidden agenda 
She put my tender, heart in a blender 
And still I surrender 

I did it all for the nookie, c'mon 
The nookie, c'mon 
So you can take that cookie 
And stick it up your yeah! 
Stick it up your yeah! 
Stick it up your yeah! 
Stick it up your 

I'm only human 
It's so easy for your friends to give you their advice 
They tell you just let it go 
It's easier said than did 
I appreciate it, I do, but 
Just leave me alone 
Leave me alone 
Just leave me alone 
Nothing's gonna change 
You can go away 
I'm just gonna stay here 
And always be the same 

I did it all for the nookie, c'mon 
The nookie, c'mon 
So you can take that cookie 
And stick it up your yeah! 
Stick it up your yeah! 
Stick it up your yeah! 
Stick it up your
