La CLaD  
La GLa
[Chorus]
GBuilding a house so we can fall at the first brick
GIf the cement don't stick, but I've been Ctold
That it oDnly gets harder from tGhere
[Verse 1]
I said Gnow that I'm young I just do what I do
I don't Gsecond guess too much
GShake my ties and I'm not that wise
I'm not a Ggrown up as such
CAll of the talk about a ring and a baby
CGets me every time
Am I bDig enough, strong enough
To Dwalk along your line
[Chorus]
GBuilding a house so we can fall at the first brick
GIf the cement don't stick, but I've been Ctold
That it oDnly gets harder from tGhere
[Verse 2]
You say I'm Galways on the hustle
GThat I don't know just how good I get it
And that there's Gplenty of men out there with money and muscle
GLook at these hips, baby don't you forget them
But the Ccurves will go, the money we'll spend
CWhat we're left with in the end
Oh, she's Dwanting half and she's staking her claim
I'm sayin' Dwho's that bitch with my second name
[Chorus]
GBuilding a house so we can fall at the first brick
GIf the cement don't stick, but I've been Ctold
That it oDnly gets harder from tGhere
[Bridge]
Yeah baby, Ctruth be told
I'm only trying to keep our Gheads above the water
CResponsibility, eternal monogamy
DI'm not a father, child, are you a mother, Gare you
Oh, my pride and Gjoy
Yeah Cyou,  Dyou are my pride and jGoy
[Chorus]
GBuilding a house so we can fall at the first brick
GIf the cement don't stick, but I've been Ctold
That it oDnly gets harder from tGhere

I said now that I'm young I just do what I do

I don't second guess too much

You say I'm always on the hustle

That I don't know just how good I get it

And that there's plenty of men out there with money and muscle

Look at these hips, baby don't you forget them

But the curves will go, the money we'll spend

What we're left with in the end

Oh, she's wanting half and she's staking her claim

I'm sayin' who's that bitch with my second name

Oh, my pride and joy

Yeah you, you are my pride and joy
