Lyrics
[Intro]
Are you fuckin' jokin'?
Let's go, oh my God, hmm
[Verse 1]
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna tell you 'bout
One of the many men, name is irrelevant, height is irrelevant
He was a one out of a ten, I wish that I knew it then
I'm still recoverin', uh
Truly I'm vulnerable, I love a sentiment
Quickly I opened up, I learned my lesson then
Thought I was safe again, thought he was innocent
I was so wrong
[PreChorus]
I can't deny, I was stuck in a daze
A terrible phase
You was convincing though, very believable
The role that you played
[Chorus]
So I'll take this front row seat
And, baby, baby, you can go ahead
Cry those Oscar-winnin' tears
Popcorn and I scream, yes
Baby, baby, you can go ahead
Cry those Oscar-winnin' tear-tear-tears
[Verse 2]
Oh, what a tragedy, it didn't have to be
Look how you talk to me, cursin' and blasphemy
Cinematography, get this on camera, please
Or no one gon' believe this here
[PreChorus]
No, I can't deny (I can't deny)
I thought that you were the man (I thought you were the man)
But you had a plan
The fuck are you lyin' for?
Fuck are you cryin' for?
You did it again (Ah, ah, ah)
[Chorus]
So I'll take this front row seat, babe
And, baby, baby, you can go ahead
Cry those Oscar-winnin' tears
Popcorn and I scream, yes
Baby, baby, you can go ahead
Cry those Oscar-winnin' tear-tear-tear-tears, tear-tear-tear-tear-tears
[Bridge]
You can miss me with the bullshit
'Cause I can see right through your tears
Nine o'clock entertainment
Oh, man, I wish I could tape it
Sit down, no tissues
No string section, no tiny violin
For the last time, I'm your audience
[Chorus]
I'll take this front row seat
And, baby, baby, you can go ahead
And cry those
Do-do-do, baby, go ahead
Cry those Oscar-winnin' tears, babe
Baby, babe, yeah
Would you go ahead?
Cry those Oscar-winnin' tears
