Lyrics
How'd you know I wanted more? Brown girls never blush, I must have let it pour Regret that I let you abandon my curfew Pathetic with the fallacy Fantasizing what the storm would do to me Tornado hit the bedroom The feelings start to come through Catchin' what I should have left far behind Stereotype that I thought I could fight He's feeding me words I know I want to hear And although they get tasty you should disappear Man's world No time for fuckin' with the man's world Ain't got no lover Ain't got no time Ain't got no mister to tell me what when and why Ain't got no lover, no Ain't got no time Don't need no mister to tell me what when and why I find my love in red wine No chaser I get by with my liquor and my paper Red wine No chaser I get by with my liquor and my paper Candy Crush and Novocane I'm guessin' that the purple didn't need the rain Regret that I let you soak in my perfume I'm hopin' that it's just a phase And soon enough we turn back to our salad days Tornado hit the bedroom And now I can't see myself Catchin' what I should have left far behind Same old cliché that I thought I could fight He's feedin' me words I do not want to hear And although they mean well you should just disappear Man's world No time for fuckin' with the man's world Ain't got no lover (No love) Ain't got no time (No time) Ain't got no mister to tell me what when and why Ain't got no lover (Nobody) Ain't got no time (No time) Don't need no mister to tell me what when and why I find my love in red wine No chaser I get by with my liquor and my paper Red wine No chaser I get by with my liquor and my paper Ain't got no lover (No love) Ain't got no time (No time) Ain't got no mister to tell me what when and why Ain't got no lover (Nobody) Ain't got no time (No time) Don't need no mister to tell me what when and why But are you willing to compromise within a relationship? Compromise? Compromising for what? To compromise for what? If a man came into your life, would you be able to compromise? Ahah-ha ha ahaha, A man comes into my life and I have to compromise? Stupid
