Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Trash, won't pick it up, take them lights away
Trash, won't pick it up, don't take your life away
Trash, won't pick it up, don't try to take my knife away
[Verse 2]
And please, don't you ask me if I love you
If you don't know what I'm doing
What you know is
[Verse 3]
Trash, go pick it up, take them lights away
Trash, won't get it up, don't throw your love away
Trash, won't pick it up, don't try to take my knife away
[Verse 4]
And please, don't you ask me if I love you
'Cause I don't know why I do
Up my nose
[Verse 5]
Trash, pick it up, take them lights away
Trash, pick it up, don't take my knife away
Trash, won't pick it up, forgot to take them all away
[Verse 6]
And please, don't you ask me if I love you
'Cause I don't know if I do
I want to wipe it out here with you
And take a lover's leap with you
[Verse 7]
I'm gonna talk alone with you
I'm gonna talk and be with you
But I just don't know if I do
I just don't know if I do
[Verse 8]
Ah, how do you call your loverboy?
[Verse 9]
Trash, pick it up, take them lights away
Trash, pick it up, go put that knife away
Trash, pick it up, don't take your life away
Trash, go get it up, don't throw your love away
Trash, won't pick it up, don't take my knife away
Trash, won't pick it up, try to take them all away
Trash, pick it up, don't take my knife away
[Verse 10]
Oh, trash
Whoa, whoa
My sweet baby
Yeah, yeah
Oh-oh, trash
Whoa, whoa
Baby, you're the one
[Verse 11]
Trash, pick it up, take them lights away
Trash, won't pick it up, don't take my knife away
Trash, won't pick it up, go on, take them lights away
Trash, won't pick it up, don't take my knife away
[Verse 12]
Oh, trash
Don't kick my knife away
Oh, trash
Don't kick my knife away
Oh, trash
Don't kick my knife away
Oh, trash
