What's The Matter
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.
She wanted the money, fame, brand names, fancy cars
She left a hardworking man behind for her fella with a championship ring (oow)
She let me tell you about dating a superstar
She was one about eight or nine
Just another ball player's play thing
And i'm saying what's the matter with you, baby
What's the matter with you, baby
What's the matter with you (you)
Ain't that your dream come true
What's the matter, girl (what's the matter with you, baby)
What's the matter (what's the matter with you)
No one to blame but (you)
No one to blame but you
He wanted the money, fame, brand names, fancy cars
Looking up to the pusha man
He wanted to be like them oh so bad (like them oh so bad)
Ooh, ooh ho
One hell of a price to pay if you get caught
Said that's the part that he didn't understand
Now he's sitting in a prison cell all mad
And i'm asking what's the matter with you, fella
What's the matter with you fella
What's the matter with you (you)
Isn't that your dream come true
What's the matter man
(what's the matter with you fella)
What's the matter
(what's the matter with you fella)
What's the matter
No one to blame but (you)
No one to blame but you
All the ladies like the bad boys
So you go and get a a bad boy
When he treats you bad, and you act surprised
Be careful what you ask for
You got what you asked for
Tell me why you mad (oooh)
Tell me why you mad (oooh)
We keep complaining about things gone change
But half of us don't do a thing
So everything stays the same
What's the matter
(what's the matter with you, tell me)
(what's the matter with you, tell me)
(what's the matter with you)
What's the matter
(ooh, baby baby)
Isn't that your dream come true
What's the matter man
(what's the matter with you, tell me)
What's the matter man
(what's the matter with you, tell me)
(what's the matter with you)
What's the matter man
What's the matter, you better tell me, what's the matter with you
