Got me a date with a supermodel. Ha ha ha I know, I know I figured "F*ck it" Dinner at the hotel, champagne bottle Steak and potatoes, a feather in a bucket Tell me what is it we're pretendin'? Not to know, and who needs proof? I don't need so much to remember No, no. That's how it is, when you tell the truth Woo! How many times does somebody lie 'Til patience (Ahh-ahh-ahh) runs her course? Keep that in mind, when we say goodbye 'Cuz you can't (Ahh-ahh-ahh) get this stuff no more That's the thing about self-improvement Don't get me wrong, I plan on gettin' some soon Outside the wire somethin's movin' The barn burnt down now I can see the moon A slice at a time, like a pizza pie You (Ahh-ahh-ahh) serve up the truth, don't want it anymore Keep that in mind, when we say goodbye 'Cuz you can't (Ahh-ahh-ahh) get this stuff no more Woo! How many times does somebody lie 'Fore (Ahh-ahh-ahh) patience runs her course? Keep that in mind when we say goodbye 'Cuz you can't (Ahh-ahh-ahh) get this stuff no more (A slice at a time) Wha-oh yeah! Wha-oh! (Ahh-ahh-ahh) Can't get that stuff no more! Better keep that in mind! (Keep it in mind) When we say our goodbyes 'Cuz you can't get this stuff no more-ah! Not this stuff baby
