Damn I'm in a ditch again
How did I get into this?
Damn I'm in a ditch again
How did I get into this?
Damn I'm in a ditch again
How do I get out of it?
Dem dem dem dem
Ay ay ay
Dem dem dem
Ay ay ay
Ay ay ay
Dem dem dem dem
Ay ay ay
Dem dem dem
Ay ay ay
Ay ay ay
Rollin' through the highways of my mind
Run, run, run
Swerving, speeding faster, I can feel it
Catching trouble faster than I see it
One day I'll settle down
Simmer, simmer, simmer shawty
Run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run, run
I'll never wait around
For you to go and get it for me
I promise I won't
If you say you love me now
If you say you love me
I'll stay right here
Dem dem dem
Ay ay ay
Let you waste my time
Dem dem dem
Ay ay ay
Ay ay ay
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Down the wrong way
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Going the wrong way
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
I would do anything for love
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Will I ever break even? (break even)
Damn I'm in a ditch again (break)
How did I get into this? (break-break even)
Damn I'm in a ditch again (break)
How did I get into this? (break-break even)
Damn I'm in a ditch again (break)
How do I get out of it? (break-break even)
Dem dem dem dem
Ay ay ay (break even)
Dem dem dem
Ay ay ay
Ay ay ay
Dem dem dem dem
Ay ay ay
Dem dem dem
Ay ay ay
Ay ay ay
