Dinosaur

You're gonna find what you're looking for
Keep on digging through the dirt, girl
Just leave them bones where they at now
And wash your hands in the faucet
You only gonna exhaust yourself
She was way before you met
He gon' say: What you bringin' up the past for?
Bringin' up old shit. Dinosaur
You're gonna find what you're looking for
Keep doing that research
And when it surface, it's gonna hurt
And now you trying to figure out what's worse
Look at you, mad again
But you can't be mad at him
He gon' say: What you bringin' up the past for?
Bringin' up old shit. Dinosaur
See? That's what you get (that's what you get)
You wanted a reason to flip out on him again
You just had to dust it off (had to dust it off)
You just had it bring it back (had to bring it back)
Couldn't leave it in the dirt
He wanted a reason, you just gave it to him
Congratulations
You wonder where do the good ones go?
They're on the verge of extinction
But you got one sitting right at home
Whenever you can't reach him
You thinking that he acting stank
Shorty, that was your mistake
He gon' say: What you bringin' up the past for?
(You bringing up the past for?)
Bringin' up old shit. Dinosaur
See? That's what you get (that's what you get)
You wanted a reason to flip out on him again
You just had to dust it off (had to dust it off)
You just had it bring it back (had to bring it back)
Couldn't leave it in the dirt
He wanted a reason and you just gave it to him
Congratulations [chorus]
That's what you get (that's what you get)
You wanted a reason to flip out on him again
You just had to dust it off (had to dust it off)
You just had it bring it back (had to bring it back)
Couldn't leave it in the dirt
He wanted a reason and you just gave it to him
Congratulations
Why you play a game you gonna lose?
It's chess not checkers
Think through your moves
Why make accusations that you just can't prove?
Dwee-deed'n-deed'n-doo-doo, whoa-mmmm-hmmm
See? That's what you get (that's what you get)
You wanted a reason to flip out on him again
You just had to dust it off
(You go back and forth and forth and back)
You just had it bring it back (had to bring it back)
Couldn't leave it in the dirt
(Bring it back and bring it back)
He wanted a reason, you just gave it to him
Congratulations
