Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mmm-mmm
(I'm about to get everything off my chest
Mmm-mmm
(Lee Global, baby)
[Verse 2]
I'm getting hot in this purple dress
You stood me up and now I'm so upset
I thought the lingerie I bought was it
That it did the trick
That I was the shit
Why is the pussy the only thing that got them proper?
I mean it's good but that's not all I got to offer
I too can bake the scones and meet your mother
Drinks with your sister
Don't use me, mister
[Verse 3]
This life I live is like a Billie album
Everybody's shouting, "Help her!"
But they know they can relate
'Cause this world is full of hate
No matter how I try to treat everybody
It's lonely
[Verse 4]
Mmm
This life I live is lonely
Mmm-mmm
I said it's lonely
This life I live is lonely
Mmm-mmm
[Verse 5]
Now how do you expect me to handle grief?
How am I supposed to mourn this death and not bleed? (Bleed)
How am I supposed to find release
From a situation that ain't never brought me peace?
The thunder makes me cry and I don't sleep
So how do you expect me to let go of the weed
Out of everything, that's the only thing I need
The seed I need to live, to die, to breathe
But isn't this the life we living?
And someday I hope to have some children
But I think it's getting late
Will I ever find my mate?
What will I use as bait?
Will I, will I be great?
Or will I fade away?
[Verse 6]
Lonely (Lonely, lonely)
This life I live is lonely (Lonely, l-lonley, lonely)
I said, lonely (Lonely, lonely)
This life I live is
This life I live is
This life I live
Mmm-mmm
[Verse 7]
I need someone to hold
Maybe then I will feel like I am fucking whole
I pray I don't sell my soul
To something that I don't know
Said I need myself
Somebody to hold
Maybe it'll make me feel like I'm whole
Maybe it'll make me feel like I'm in control
I hope I don't sell my soul
[Verse 8]
Oh-oh
Mmm-mmm
