Right? Wrong Askin' him if she gonna play games With the super smash brothers, but none of them you I miss the sex when you kiss whenever you through Sixty nine is the only dinner for two I was wrong, but would you have listened to you? Uh, you were crazy I got a heart, but the artichoke Is the only thing girls want when you in that smokin' light I wanted you to know That I am ready to go, heartbeat My heartbeat I wanted you to know Whenever you are around, can't speak I can't speak I wanted you to know That I am ready to go, heartbeat My heartbeat I wanted you to know Whenever you are around, can't speak I can't speak So we're done? This the real shit? We used to hold hands like field trips I'm a jerk, but your dude is a real dick I read his post on your wall and I feel sick He ain't cool, he ball and all that But he just a fake nigga who blog in all caps You coulda' wait to date I'm going straight for your thighs like the cake you ate I give a f*ck about the niggas that you say you hate You know that I'm the best when I'm a-fake-tionate I'm the best that you had, face it J and Keyshia are related, racist I give you money, then you burn it, like you made off She ain't a killer, but she'd fucking blow your head off I know he wondering, "What the f*ck you hiding?" That we dated like raps about Bin Laden Ayo, f*ck this Are we dating? Are we fucking? Are we best friends? Are we something in between that? I wish we never fucked, and I mean that But not really, you say the nastiest shit in bed and it's fuckin' awesome
