And I've been gone for a long time
And I've been gone for a long time
And I've been gone for a long time
And I've been gone for a long time
(What's That, Check It Out Right Here Now!)
Now that we've been done for days
And everything that I can say
Don't think about it anyways
And now I'm in a better place
And don't have no phone that rings
Or puppet stings and I say I wont stop for anything
sha la la la la la la la
So watcha say my love gonna mind me? (What?)
gonna try me? (No) gonna wind me?
Gonna think of anything to do just to find me?
Even when you know that you were never really part of me
So this is the real me (Hah!), and it's the new me
So everything I think I knew I recommend highly
To realize I wasn't around
And I've been gone for a long time
And I've been gone for a long time
And I've been gone for a long time
And I've been gone for a long time
Said every time I try I gotta go
And when I got the girl I know I wont
Be happy cause I gotta keep movin' on
It ain't sad because I'm always gonna sing this song
And when they do those bigger things
Move in and things i must say
I'll still have more time to sing
sha la la la la la la la
So, Watcha gonna do were through that's me and you
Don't know what to say that's cool cause I'm tellin' you
Haven't been around been off in another town
Jumpin' and a humpin' and a life is what I found
Don't know what to say to me just try me
Everything you say to me I lost it on the highway
But I don't care no I really don't care said
What (Echoed)
Gettin' laid like tile
Phenomenal style
Checkin' out your vertical smile
Gonna pack my bags gonna hit the road
So say goodbye cause I been gone for a while
I got west Nile it's a disease
Gonna buy you a drink and if you say please
And then gimmie the keys, to the van
Cause its mc rune with the master plan
Johnstones never cost tones, never lost bones
Look at Tom Jones or the Bosstones
I be chillin' be illin' be grillin' just like a villain
On vacation
Gettin' laid all across the nation
Use my hand for masturbation
hahahahahaha ha!
And I've been gone for a long time
And I've been gone for a long time
And I've been gone for a long time
And I've been gone for a long time
And I've been gone for a long time
And I've been gone for a long time
And I've been gone for a long time
And I've been gone for a long time
