[Verse 1] We must not worry on the extracurricular / we must press on despite life's particulars / we can take timeouts like hands perpendicular / or we can dine out and do something simpler / we must not focus our lives on being pretty / I live my life along the line of being thrifty / I love to make her laugh, crack her up like Whitney / and she's bobbing her head that she will come with me / but I will never settle for women who never fall / 'cause they wrap around a pole like a game of tetherball / our hopes and our dreams will all then level off / so fast I peddle off away from my fears / 'cause life is no game and we seldom cheer / but we must act as if we are welcomed here / 'cause no life that I know of is a belvedere / and it will probably stay that way for several years. [Chorus] Life is full of anxieties / I tell them it's alright but lyingly / I try to root out things inside of me / and try to focus on life's proprieties.

[Verse 1] I'm aware that my charm is a blessing and curse / because she said I broke her heart and I'm guessing it hurts / she was conservative, but went from dresses to skirts / and say her change is just due to the pressures of work / she lies, go to the club and she's pressured to twerk / why does she constantly question her worth? / cries 'cause I wasn't like the rest of the earth / and sighs, thinking back when my breath was with hers / and I'm aware that time is of the essence / but she's sadly mistaken thinking that me and her were destined to be together / I thought that she had learned her lesson / it's like I'm a senior and she is still just a freshman / it won't work, she just wanted one chance / she'd see me and her heart would make her lungs dance / was the light of her life but left her suntanned / she's left with nothing, her life is unmanned / so please understand that my charm is a blessing and curse / it's usually the latter, rarely I'm stressing the first / your paper, pen and number should just be left in the purse / 'cause if I charm a girl just be expecting the worst. [CHORUS] I'm prince charming, she's either wrapped around my arm or / always asking for an encore / I cause harm to you and leave her heart a concord blue. [Verse 2] I'm aware that I have a bit of a charm / hurt because I'm not by her side like she's missing an arm / admit I sleep on her like I had missed the alarm / and to that girl, it seems that it's my mission to harm / she wants my undivided attention / and I feel bad 'cause she had confided her tension in me / but I told her it was uninvited, I mentioned / her feelings are one-sided, opposite my intentions / so she goes back to the drawing board, standing flatfooted / and I am just an omnivore, a connoisseur of love / open all kinds of doors but shut them, thinking that shouldn't be a cause for complaint / bloody gauze by the sink 'cause her hearts broken / I should really pause 'fore I think and speak / their should really be laws for the charm I leak / and ideally songs that I often preach / would only reach the mind not the chest organ / she tries to cover up the wound with a Ralph Lauren / polo, the big logo on the left side / probably not a good choice 'cause at the best I'd make tears come out your right and left eye. [Chorus]

[Verse 1] I hate the fact that you're skin is as tough as linen / and she said that she's had enough of men and I've had enough of women / who are sensitive 'cause they emotions are infinite / and it really effects my interest in you / I try to proceed but you're on the fence again / and being with her is such a test so to the best of my knowledge / I could never think to finance or invest in the rest of my college term with you / I used to want to learn with you / but I offend her and we'll fight for a few / but I think that I'm illiterate 'cause my nights always will end with "U". [CHORUS] You are sensitive and she really hates the fact whenever I mention it / so I wonder where my pension is 'cause I'm gone, I'm leaving / 'cause I shouldn't feel I'm wrong when all I'm doing is sneezing...and breathing...and bleeding / I tell her at least I'm not cheating on you / but your actions have me fleeing toward another and so I'm leaving. [Verse 2} I'm like cold water to the skin of her teeth so she'd rather be toothless / wonder should I throw the deuces / wish she was easy to read like Dr. Seuss' books / clueless looks, this fool mistook her from the start / this war, I lose it, who's this woman with bruises all on her heart / she made me lean toward another / who doesn't cry off her Maybelline and cover / her sleeve with emotions, hoping she will be gone / 'cause what I say just comes out wrong / I've learned my lesson that all I do will leave an impression / when you bottle your emotions, make sure the cork's kept in. [CHORUS]

The 80's couldn't claim me as one of its babies / 'cause in the 90's my heinie was wiped primarily by my mommy / fed me during the hours when prowlers would do their raiding / occasionally she would keep me from crying / but he was a coward, I'm flabbergasted / it's tragic, my mom was destined for magic like D. Howard / basks in a basket of emotions that are elastic / half of us see what really goes on behind half of the scenes / it's sad because she ain't the last of a breed / she's mad he won't take care of half of the seed she made with him / but he know he dead wrong 'cause he know what he did wrong and she shouldn't have stayed with him / engaged, married and split him / I'm a cloud kicker, a freed kid through his laughter / some cheese whiz and some crackers / I flee flicker disasters of my life three inches past the line of scrimmage / rhyme a sentence to pass the time / how quickly this liquid is sipped in this glass of mine / I am the residue of a man with plenty of revenue / put him upon a pedestal when younger but now I know better to / I'm sure that he never knew everything I was feeling / when walking through the fire it's never as appealing as it is in hindsight...I'm thankful for it.

[VERSE 1] Pregnant again, pregnant with twins / she playing her games but never to win / it's harder to win and even to score / the margin is slim but she'll even the score / couple of kids, planning for more / couple of bibs but no food in the cupboard / given government cheese but this woman is stubborn / mind in the clouds, lives in the southern / raised in the country, her fridge should be filled with selections of lunch meats / but instead of buying some bread, she'll take that welfare and spend it on her head / fixed on an income, tried cheating the system but it turns out she wasn't really smart enough / dropped out school 'cause she never tried hard enough / let her guard down and kept leaving her garden up / hardly I'm joking, hurt part of her throat and just to let you know / her man's a vegetable because it seems he has mastered the art of choking / bath to soak in, she never dries off 'cause her towel's thrown in / and she'll stay right after he beats her / he'll give her the change like he feeding the meter / but only for awhile; relapse, that's no anomaly / she tell her friends that he honestly needs her. [CHORUS] You should leave him, girl, don't believe him but she'll say "he needs me" / but no he don't, you are mistaken but she keep saying "he needs me" / she's said it before and she'll say it again that "he needs me" / they all disagree but she keep telling her friends that "he needs me". [VERSE 2] Two kids stated in the prologue / and she's still out living with no job / a cold broad but a mother still / if she don't take care of them, she thinking her mother will / her bases covered but this ain't no game of chutes and ladders / compare butts to her girls to see whose is fatter / she'll go out, come home then get bruised and battered / him or your kids and I'm praying that you choose the latter / his backhand, she tries to avoid it / her emotions he toys with / supposed to be a happy ending but he spoiled it / she wants him to stop it like too much paper in toilets / tell her friends she's leaving him but never say when / thanks the Lord for her job, not her kids, "amen" / both of her kids weigh ten pounds less than they did way back when there wasn't any turbulence / I'm sure those early morning disturbances will have protection services called / that would hurt her to her purtenence but this situation you can't circumvent at all / hope you know what needs to be done / the life your kids living really needs to be fun / the life course that he's leading needs to be shunned / wish you would pick up your life, take what you need and then run. [CHORUS] [Verse 3] You know your man is the worst right? / you said you leaving on the first right? / you got your luggage and your purse right? / see you there, be on the first flight.

[Verse 1] Tick, tock goes the wrist watch / on the girls that wish to pit stop / in my life and only want to lip lock / for the time being with a tip top prospect / but I tell that woman 'kick rocks' / and ziplock all the drip-drops from your face / because this Nick's not an idiot and I won't get got / her mindset is so pish-posh, erroneous / maybe her actions are felonious / but I'm good like fried boloney is / she want to jazz me up like Thelonious Monk / without me it's the loneliest month / she's wishing she could clone me this once / to have me with her scones and tea at brunch / but I'm sorry, I will propel peace signs and decline / girls that are faster than Noel Devine / we can't replay or rewind. Tick, Tock. [Chorus] Tick, tock and tell that girl just stop. Tick, tock on that girl that's cocky / tick, tock, baby girl just watch me / tick, tock, chick stop (2x) [Verse 2] Tick, Toc, oh I misspoke / I'd never hit a girl but she can get choked / sike, I'm playing but she do want to get low / at the club; "you wanna come?" I'm like "chick, no" / I take her out to eat and clean her plate like dish soap / and I paid but the night was forgetful / I've got a fistful of reasons why I find her abysmal, she pleading / 'cause I'm of a greater caliber / she need to wait and pump her brake calipers / 'cause her ego's taller than Sam Dalembert / she smell like lavender but check my watch and calendar when she leaving / never been a Labrador, if I had to score, never add a whore to my bench / if that girl thirsty, she won't get quenched / she try to take a mile when I only give an inch / I'm just hanging with my friends like we all got lynched / and that's the way it stays; I don't flirt, I Dirk Nowitzki and fadeaway / on the women that try to get me from day-to-day / know that the clock is just ticking the day away. [Chorus]

[Nick's Verse 1] I let her drink and drive 'cause she'll crash at the crib / en route here, she probably pass where I live / she's coming right back just after a pitstop / for some lipstick, girl, you bad as it is / try to cover up the smell with the last of her mints / her and I converse, it's a clash of the wits / we passing the time as I'm passing the tense / of the women with failed lash batting attempts on me / face so comely, legs so Chung-Li / take her to Budapest if that girl Hungary / she's a Humpty, fell so hard for me but I tell that girl promptly / she only get a nickname but she wants Nick's name / the last third from what I last heard / the last words she said were that she wanted me to ask her on dates / well tell the phonographer to play a song for her / but the monicker I gave her, she feels like it just don't honor her / and I'm approached by the wives of Potiphar; stay away / she can't have it all but a half will suffice / no I'm not at all the reason you love life / but I make it better, tell me that's right / she's a morning person but she loves The KNGHTS. [Nick's Verse 2] She likes these tortoise frames / wants me to save her, she's a Lois Lane / she asks her girlfriend, "do you know his name?" / I recruit 5 stars like Notre Dame / and they all commit then calls commence / she wanna be in love, hasn't fallen since / the fall of last year, that ain't awesome miss / don't owe her a thing but pay her compliments / show her that we are not osculant / in my life, she wants to be an occupant / take her left hand, add a rock to it / go to the court house, fill out documents / that say she's my wife but that's alright / slow down girl we only met twice / yes you bad and girl that's nice / just focus on having fun with Audie and the knight.
