Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You'd take the clothes off my back
And I'd let you
You'd steal the food right out my mouth
And I'd watch you eat it
I still don't know why
Why I love you so much
Oh
[Verse 2]
You cursed my name
In spite
To put me to shame
Have my laundry in the streets
Dirty or clean
Give it up for fame
But I still don't know why
Why I love it so much
Yeah
[Chorus]
And baby
It's amazin' I'm in this maze with you
I just can't crack your code
One day, you're screamin' you love me loud
The next day, you're so cold
One day you're here
One day you're there
One day you care
You're so unfair
Sippin' from your cup 'til it runneth over
Uh, uh
Holy Grail
[Verse 3]
Uh, Blue told me remind you ****
Uh, fuck that shit y'all talkin' 'bout
I'm the ****
Uh, caught up in all these lights and cameras
Uh, but look what that shit did to Hammer
Uh, goddamnit I like it
Bright lights is enticin'
Look what it did to Tyson
All of that money in one night
Thirty mil' for one fight
As soon as all that money blows
All the pigeons take flight
Fuck the fame, keep chicken on me
What I do?
I took 'em back
Fool me twice, that's my bad
I can't even blame her for that
Enough to make me wanna murder
Mama please, just get my bail
I know nobody to blame
Kurt Cobain, I did it to myself
Uh
[Verse 4]
And we're all just entertainers
And we're stupid
And contagious
No, we all just entertainers
[Chorus]
And baby
It's amazin' I'm in this maze with you
I just can't crack your code
One day, you're screamin' you love me loud
The next day, you're so cold
One day you're here
One day you're there
One day you care
You're so unfair
Sippin' from your cup 'til it runneth over
Holy Grail
[Verse 5]
Now I got tattoos on my body
Psycho bitches in my lobby
I got haters in the paper
Photo shoots and paparazzi
Can't even take my daughter for a walk
See 'em by the corner store
I feel like I'm cornered off
Enough is enough, I'm callin' it off
Who the fuck I'm kiddin', though?
I'm gettin' high, sittin' low
Slide by in that big body
Curtains all in my window
This fame hurt, but this chain works
I think back, you asked the same person
If this is all you had to deal with
****, deal with it, this shit is ain't work
This light work
Cameras snappin', my eyes hurt
**** dyin' back where I was birthed
Fuck your iris and the IRS
Get the hell up off your high horse
You got the shit that **** die for
Dry yours
Why you mad, take the good with the bad
Don't throw the baby out with that bath water
[Verse 6]
You still alive
Still that ****, ****
You survived
Still gettin' bigger, ****
Livin' the life
Vanilla wafers in the villa
Illest **** alive
Michael Jackson's Thriller
[Chorus]
And baby
It's amazin' I'm in this maze with you
I just can't crack your code
One day, you're screamin' you love me loud
The next day, you're so cold
One day you're here
One day you're there
One day you care
You're so unfair
Sippin' from your cup 'til it runneth over
Holy Grail
[Verse 7]
You get the air out my lungs
Whenever you need it
And you take the blade right out my heart
Just so you can watch me bleed
And I still don't know why
Why I love you so much
Yeah
And you play this game
In spite
To drive me insane
I got it tattooed on my sleeve forever in ink
With guess whose name?
But I still don't know why
Why I love it so much
Yeah
[Chorus]
And baby
It's amazin' I'm in this maze with you
I just can't crack your code
One day, you're screamin' you love me loud
The next day, you're so cold
One day you're here
One day you're there
One day you care
You're so unfair
Sippin' from your cup 'til it runneth over
Holy Grail
[Outro]
Don't know why
