Lyrics

Potential

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.

Hey, that's a real nice purse

Should spark jealousy in all the other girls

Hey, that's a real nice dress

Now every man around here's thinking about sex

You got beautiful new hair

But there's a stylist much richer somewhere

And what a lovely shiny car

If it were mine I'd make payments 'til 3004

Did you pretend not to see

What I like to think

That you'd do it for me

But I'm just not cool enough

I got so much Potential

But you don't give a damn about Potential

Yeah, the future's inconsequential

I guess I'll go alone

I got so much Potential

But you don't give a damn about Potential

Until the Benz and friends are not rentals

I guess I'll go home alone

Hey, that's a nice new nose

I guess you cut it off to cut down on the coke (habit)

And what a fancy new chest

Maybe later me and the boys can play b-ball with one breast (grab it)

You drop a grand on a make-up kit

But most men would probably dig you better without it

The most baffling part

Is that you work so hard

To fuck celebrities

Just so you can name drop

Did you pretend not to see

What I like to think

That you'd do it for me

But I'm just not cool enough

I got so much Potential

But you don't give a damn about Potential

Yeah, the future's inconsequential

I guess I'll go alone

I got so much Potential

But you don't give a damn about Potential

Until the Benz and friends are not rentals

I guess I'll go home alone
