The Trick

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I got a dog

And my dog can dance

Just not in public

And not with my friends

I got a girl

And she’s twenty eight

Now I’m the coolest guy

In all of eighth grade

I know a kid

That you never met

His dad is rock star

We smoked in his van

I know a trick

Do you wanna see

I can be anything

That I pretend to be

We’ll get outta this

We’ll get outta this too

I’m not proud of this

But I’m not proud of the truth

And if you run from me

Then I’ll use my trick on you

The truth is that I’m screwed

I went to France

And danced in the rain

Then told you all about it

On our first date

My dad doesn’t lie

So you can’t meet my dad

'Cause you fell in love

With the me that went to France

We’ll get outta this

We’ll get outta this too

I’m not proud of this

But I’m not proud of the truth

And if you run from me

Then I’ll use my trick on you

The truth is that we’re screwed

We’ll get out of this

'Cause I love you I do

We’ll get out of this

'Cause I love you it’s true

And if you’re doubting this

If you’re doubting that I do

Then oh my god I’m screwed
