Lyrics

Rapunzel

[Intro]

For sure

Check it out, uh

Yah, yah

[Verse 1]

From the moment we met, I was breathless

And not asbestos breathless either

Always, when you least expect it

Stumbled across Rapunzel, a Libra

Couldn't leave, I had to meet her

Greet the girl of my dreams with a kiss on the hand (What up?)

Little magnificent, missing a man

Ran away like kids to a van (Sha)

Gorgeous, walking on water

Sort of like Erin McNaught, but little shorter

Wore a Pandora, bought her a charm

Wasn't short of a thought, bit of Paul on her arm

Calling for calm, we fought

Made Iraq and the border of Jordan a walk in the park

Jaws of a shark, too hard to break it off all apart, so I would say

[Chorus]

Rapunzel, gotta let your hair down, girl, gotta let your hair down

I'm tired of fighting, we ain't going nowhere now

Gotta let your hair down, girl, gotta let your hair down

Why we tryin'? We ain't going nowhere now

For sure

[Verse 2]

And even she could see, her love was like a demolition derby

I was Herbie "The Love Bug" swerving

'Cause I work on the road, she was like Russell the Crowe

A jerk with her phone

Know that I don't wanna fight

Another night, chewing off my ear like Mike

Another night ruined, I knew it, knew you would do it

Scream when I'm out like Hewitt

You were the one, you were the one to run away

Like andale, andale then break it off, but come running back

Like, "Baby, I want you back, but don't call me that"

Now baby, baby, baby, don't call me "baby", (Baby)

I said, baby, baby, don't call me "baby", baby, baby

[Chorus]

Gotta let your hair down, girl, gotta let your hair down

I'm tired of fighting, we ain't going nowhere now

Gotta let your hair down, girl, gotta let your hair down

Why we trying? We ain't going nowhere now

For sure

Don't you love me anymore?

[Verse 3]

Nah, I'm just sick of you saying my friends are above you

You knew when you were with me

But you were lost in watching Sex and the City

And what did you give me?

Your lips movin' but nothin' comin' out, like Britney

And, what, did you lose it?

No trust, every movement watched like Truman

Only human, I ain't a saint, but don't cheat when I'm in the game

And that's real, you know, you know, no, you know you don't know me

Die from the photos I got, like Dodi

My own Naomi Campbell, I tried to help, she fly off the handle

No more candles, no more dinner

No more "I'm fat, I could look a little thinner"

Where's my Cinderella, my little Bella?

Hard, but I had to tell her, so I'd say

[Bridge]

Yeah, so I'd say

Ha, I keep telling her, I keep telling her

[Chorus]

Rapunzel, gotta let your hair down, girl, gotta let your hair down

I'm tired of fighting, we ain't going nowhere now

Gotta let your hair down, girl, gotta let your hair down

Why we trying? We ain't going nowhere now

[Outro]

We ain't going nowhere now

We ain't going nowhere now
