The Sellout
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.
Where I am and where I go
What I do and who I know
Yeah, take a picture cuz it's always changing
But I wanna hold on to you
Yes I wanna hold on to you
But your slippery like the gasoline and you feel like fire
And I'm out on a limb
I'm giving in
I'm selling out to the pay
To the show
This is my gimmick
And I wanna win it
I'm seling out, I won't fight you no more
Honey babe and honey boo
I always pictured you
By my side forever
And I can't believe that you're gone now
Cuz I got a love to give
Yes, I got a love to give
I got something you should see
Baby just come back to me.
And I'm out on a limb
I'm giving in
I'm selling out to the pay
To the show
This is my gimmick
And I wanna win it
I'm seling out, I won't fight you no more
Oh, don't go away
I want you to stay
I'm gonna sing you a song
Listen to my song and I hope that you like it
Hey everybody gather 'round for me
I know I ain't the same as I used to be
But there are things that I really need
There's some people that I wanna meet
So 1, 2, 3, let's go
4, 5 to the show
Nursery rhymes and lullabies gonna make you dance
But I cry cuz…
And I'm out on a limb
I'm giving in
I'm selling out to the pay
To the show
This is my gimmick
And I wanna win it
I'm seling out, I won't fight you no more,
And I'm out on a limb
I'm giving in
I'm selling out to the pay
To the show
This is my gimmick
And I wanna win it
I'm seling out, I won't fight you no more
(Oh, don't go away) Won't fight you no more...
(I'm gonna sing you a song
Listen to my song and I hope that you like it..) I won't fight you no more...
