Maybe I'm a bad seed Blame it on the TV And maybe it was just because my grandma raised me Tell me what all this is Yeah, tell me what honest is You need a body cast for all my broken promises Told you not to hold your breath (told you not to hold) You're turning blue the way I make you Sweat! Sweat! Sweat! I'm making you Sweat, sweat, sweat I'm making you Sweat! Sweat! Sweat! I'm making you Sweat, sweat, sweat I'm not a basic dude But I'm just a waste of you I know it's hard to face the music that I play to you Like I'm droppin' a bomb Go and cry to your momma Life is such a comedy, so just spare me the drama Told you not to hold your breath (told you not to hold) You're turning blue the way I make you Sweat! Sweat! Sweat! I'm making you Sweat, sweat, sweat I'm making you Sweat! Sweat! Sweat! I'm making you Sweat, sweat, sweat And don't come crying over spilled perfume It smells like shit to you And I don't know what I'm supposed to do Say you're dying, that's so typical you I've got nothing to prove Told you not to hold your breath It's getting in the way I make you Sweat, sweat, sweat I'm making you Sweat! Sweat! Sweat! I'm making you I'm making you Sweat, sweat, sweat I'm making you I'm making you Sweat
