Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's too good, it's too nice
She makes me finish too quick
Is it love? No, not love
She turns my sexual trick
She says she's mine, I know she lies
First, I scream, then I cry
Take a second of me
You beckon, I'll be
She suffocates me
She suffocates me with suggestion
I ask, "Do you feel the same?"
And later on, maybe I'll tell you my real name
She's so good, she's so bad
You understand, I can't stand
Now I could just kill a man
She's on her knees, I say please
I caress her silly lies, she's got brown eyes
[Chorus]
I think ahead of you, I think instead of you
Will you spend your life with me and stifle me?
I know why the caged bird sings, I know why
[Verse 2]
Forgive and you're forgiven, kingdom come
Can you wait for yours? I need to taste some
Life's really funny, I laugh while she spends my money
She's my freak, I guess I'm weak
You ask what is this? Mind your business
I pass idle days with my idle ways
Till the twelfth of always
She walks my hallways
I keep her warm, but we never kiss
She cuts my slender wrists
Let's waste some more time
I sign the dotted line
A different level
She-devil
[Chorus]
I think ahead of you, I think instead of you
Will you spend your life with me and stifle me?
I know why the caged bird sings, I know why
[PostChorus]
You ask what is this? Mind your business
I pass idle days with my idle ways
Till the twelfth of always
She walks my hallways
I keep her warm, but we never kiss
[Instrumental]
She says I'm weak and immature
But it's cool, I know what money's for
Push comes to shove
Her tongue's her favorite weapon on attack
I slap her back, she mostly hates me
[Chorus]
I think ahead of you, I think instead of you
Will you spend your life with me and stifle me?
I know why the caged bird sings, I know why
[Verse 3]
Can I take off your clothes before we go out?
And when you're helpless, I'll scream and shout
We finish every day, well, anyway
Sixty-nine degrees, my head's between your knees
You ask what is this? Mind your business
[Instrumental]
It's too good, it's too nice
She makes me finish too quick
Is it love? No, not love
She turns my sexual trick
She says she's mine, I know she lies
First, I scream, then I cry
Take a second of me
You beckon, I'll be
Take a second of me
[Chorus]
I think ahead of you, I think instead of you
Will you spend your life with me and stifle me?
I know why the caged bird sings, I know why
I know why the caged bird sings, I know why
[Instrumental]
She-devil
