[Verse 1: John Linnell]
At first we started out real cool
Taking me places I ain't never been
But now, you're getting comfortable
Ain't doing those things you did no more
Slowly making me pay for things
Your money should be handling
And then you ask to use my car (Car)
Drive it all day and not fill up the tank
And you have the audacity
To even come and step to me
Ask to hold some money from me
Until you get your check next week
[Pre-Chorus: John Flansburgh]
You triflin', good for nothing type of brother
Silly me, why don't I go and find another?
A baller, when times get hard I need someone to help me out
Instead of a squirrel like you who don't know what a man's about
[Chorus: John Linnell & John Flansburgh]
Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Do you pay my automo' bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill
I don't think you do
So, you and me are through
Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Do you pay my automo' bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill
I don't think you do
So, you and me are through
[Verse 2: John Linnell]
Now you've been maxing out my card
Gave me bad credit, buyin' me gifts with my own ends
Haven't paid the first bill
But instead you're runnin' to the mall
Goin' on shopping sprees perpetrating
Telling your friends that you be ballin'
And then you use my cell phone (Phone)
Callin' whoever that you think's at home
And then when the bill comes
All of a sudden you be acting dumb
Don't know where none of these calls come from
When your momma's number's here more than once
[Pre-Chorus: John Flansburgh]
You triflin', good for nothin' type of brother
Silly me, why don't I go and find another?
A baller, a man who's there when I need someone to help me out
Instead of a squirrel like you who don't know what a man's about
[Chorus: John Linnell & John Flansburgh]
Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Do you pay my automo' bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill
I don't think you do
So, you and me are through
[Bridge: John Flansburgh, John Linnell, Both]
You triflin', good for nothing type of brother
Silly me, why don't I go and find another?
You triflin', good for nothing type of brother
Silly me, why don't I go and find another?
You triflin', good for nothing type of brother (Good for nothin')
Silly me, why don't I go and find another? (Good for nothin')
You triflin', good for nothing type of brother (Triflin')
Silly me
[Chorus: John Linnell & John Flansburgh]
Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Do you pay my automo' bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill
I don't think you do
So, you and me are through
Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Do you pay my automo' bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill
I don't think you do
So, you and me are through
