[Intro]
A A G D  x2
[Verse 1]
I planned on Astopping all the talking and Aknocking on the doors
of the Gboys who I know are Dbad for me
Said I'd quit Ashopping, dropping Abank on the clothes
that Gmake them wanna buy me a Ddrink
Said I'd quit Aleaving my car Aparked behind the bar
but I got Gtowed the second time this Dweek
I watched the Bmball drop on New Years Eve
I dropped the Gball when it comes to Dme
[Chorus]
Gonna get Askinny this year
And I Gswear that ill stop Dcursing
Gonna stop Adrinking this beer
Try to Gkeep the lines from Dblurring
Tween what I sAay and what I do...
When I'm all Gtalk no follow-Dthrough
BmCan't get rich making Bmpenny wishes
GCan't get to heaven
On Dgood intentions
[Break]
A A G D  x2
[Verse 2]
Nobody's Aperfect, no but AI plan on working
on a Gversion half as good as the Dgirl next door
Have you Aheard? I'm gonna save Athe world.
I'll get Gstarted when I'm not so Dpoor
Well i've been Bmtelling myself that it's the Bmthought that counts
So let me Gtell you what i'm thinking Dabout
