[Chorus]
LiAbfe is goGmod, who's askiFmn'?
Wrote my number down on tGmoo many napkins
GAbot tired of, Gm"we'll see what happens"Fm  
Lights, camera, she 'bout that acGtionAb  
[Verse 1]
Which is goGmod when I'm stagnant
And stFmuck to the mattress, stuck like a GmagnetAb  
Life is goGmod, but it's taxinFm'
Discourse, distraGctionsAb  
DiscotGheque, mathematicsF  
Gave her my number after dGancin'Ab  
Life is gEbood, who's askin'?
YFmou are not entitled to my time or my pEbassion
Nights About Ebran me raggedFm  
Got tired of bein' nice out of EbhabitAb  
You can aEbmsk, you can't have it
FmShorty back home snack wrapped in a blanketAb
