Came into the world as a reject Look into these eyes Then you'll see the size of the sags That are pulli'n on my past Burnin' on my brain Everyone that burns has to learn from the pain Hey, I think about the day My girlie went away with my pay And these fellas came to play Now she's stuck with my homies that she fucked And I'm just a sucker with a lump in my throat Like a chump Should I be feelin' bad Should I be feelin' good It's kinda sad I'm the laughing stock of the neighborhood And you'd be figured I'd be movin' on But I'm a sucker like I said Fucked up in the head, not! And maybe she just made a mistake And I should give her a break But my heart will ache either way Hey, what the hell, what you want me to say? I won't lie, that I can't deny I did it all for the nookie, c'mon The nookie, c'mon So you can take that cookie And stick it up your yeah! Stick it up your yeah! Stick it up your yeah! Stick it up your Why did it take so long Why did I take so long, huh To figure it out, but I didn't And I'm the only one Underneath the sun who didn't get it I can't believe that I can be deceived By my so-called girl, but in reality She had a hidden agenda She put my tender, heart in a blender And still I surrender I did it all for the nookie, c'mon The nookie, c'mon So you can take that cookie And stick it up your yeah! Stick it up your yeah! Stick it up your yeah! Stick it up your I'm only human It's so easy for your friends to give you their advice They tell you just let it go It's easier said than did I appreciate it, I do, but Just leave me alone Leave me alone Just leave me alone Nothing's gonna change You can go away I'm just gonna stay here And always be the same I did it all for the nookie, c'mon The nookie, c'mon So you can take that cookie And stick it up your yeah! Stick it up your yeah! Stick it up your yeah! Stick it up your
