People listen up don't stand to near,

Cuz' I got somthing that you all should hear
All lies, All the lies she told me

Make a little part of history
I was always taught that boy meets girl

Fall in love get married and forget the world
Nine month later ,the sweet babys on his way

Kiss Em on the cheek and life's ok
