Up on the roof top my head explodes
Just like the fourth of july
I'm about to say i'm about to want you so
I just feel blue like so many other times
Don't put my name to shame
I listen when my mama calls me
I ain't no broad-faced lie
Trying to take anybody off to see
I listen when my mama calls me
I an't no broad faced lie
Trying to take anybody off to see
I got 'em in the live ?????
Gotta get this ????? off my head
Why'd you lead me around for so long
Like nobody can
Don't you know what kinda guy i am
Don't put my name to shame
I listen when my mama calls me
I ain't no broad-faced lie
Trying to take anybody off to see
I listen when my mama calls me
I ain't no broad-faced lie
Trying to take anybody off to see
Why'd you lead me around for so long
Like nobody can
Don't you know what kinda guy i am
