I'm gonna ride, ride
Up to the tip top, never stop, always drop
One shot, One stop, play the punk rock
And when the cops stop, ya know what time is?
Jordan said they warned ya
And of all the girls, you were the one
We stood above everyone
You took it hard girl, you never had fun
So drop your bag girl, please don't run
Ride her up, tie her up, drink it on down
Give it up, sip it up take it uptown
And tell me exactly girl when you come around
Cause I'll wait for you, girl, I wont back down
Girl I only want what was best for you
Girl I only want what was best for you
I only wanted what was best for you [x4]
This girl's a real heart-breaker
Different dialect, speaks through a translator
I'll make a choice, not wait for later
Life goes on, no I don't hate her
Hey I get it, I got it, I'm down
Run it, hit it, kick it around
Haha, I can get around
But my feet remain planted on the fucking ground
One time heroin, one time gone
First time against it, but then you sing along
That's what happens when your life goes wrong
I've got nothing but truth in my song
Girl I only want what was best for you
Girl I only want what was best for you
I only wanted what was best for you [x4]
Girl I only want what was best for you
Girl I only want what was best for you
I only wanted what was best for you [x8
