When I was younger I used to wonder like

If I was singing songs just to sing the songs

Or if was singing 'cause that's what the bitches wanted

I couldn't play guitar like Van Halen

Had no secret chords like Saint David

But you still came around

Ate your lunch with me

Used to park your car to try the bus with me

But I would say, "Girl, don't be dumb, I'm riding shotgun"

We could go to my house after school, after school, after school

'Cause my dad don't clock off 'til late, off 'til late, off 'til late

We could kick it in the living room

Looking through my whole vinyl collection

And you could teach me how to slow dance or something

And I'mma give you chills harmonizing to Otis, Isley, Marvin

And every time somebody asked me

I say, "Shit, oh well, oh well"

I say, "Boy, don't judge 'cause, hell, if you were me

You'd be singin' to her, like lah dah-dah, dah-dah

Lah dah-dah, dah-dah, lah dah-dah, dah-dah"

Now I'm in the lab, always working late

Always sleeping past the breakfast she makes

She used to stop by, come and holla at me

Put her purse down and try to battle rap me

She don't do that no more, no more, no more

Don't even listen to the songs I record

But she be banging that Drake in my car

I'm So Far Gone, she stay blasting Trey and his songs

All damn day long

It's like she never heard of me, heard of me

Now every time somebody asks me

If I sing songs to get my women

I say, "Naw", they say, "Okay, I don't believe it"

I say "Nope, I swear I never do it"

If I sing songs to get at women, I say, "Naw"

They say, "Who do you think you're kidding?

I know you, you stole my girlfriend"

Fair enough

You see I just don't play fair

But it's fair enough

'Cause your girl broke my heart in half

Now I'm singing "lah dah, dah-dah" 'bout heartbreak

And now I'm singing "lah dah, dah-dah" 'bout love lost

Damn

I'm saying though, like all I write is love songs

I mean I try

I come to the studio I-

You know what I do

What do you think I do it for? Huh?

Yeah, uh-huh

But you ain't listening, ever

But if you were

You might fuck with it

Yeah, all these songs for women

Songs for women

Songs for you, baby

For you
