Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Call my name, here I come
Ninety to nothing, watch me run
You call
[Verse 2]
I am ashamed to say
Ugly girls know their fate
Anybody can get laid
You want a room with a fire escape
I wanna tell you how much I hate this
[Verse 3]
Don't leave that stuff all over me
It pains me, please just leave it
I should toss that vanity license plate
Toss that makeup-painted face
Box those poems, chocolate cake
Scratch that name on the record player
Please just leave me be
Please, please
[Verse 4]
Don't lay that stuff all over me
It crawls all over
All over me
[Verse 5]
Call my name, here I come
Your last-ditch lay, will I never learn?
Caramel turn on a dusty apology
It crawls all over me
You turn all over
It pains me, please just leave it
