Me you (yeah yeah)
Everyone we've had what in days

Hot bodies, offended people
The mood of age bitten on innocent people

Anyways, things change, always at the hotel, always, 
I'll be gone again in 4 days
I've been waiting hours for this, 
I've made myself so sick, I wish to stay, and sleep today

I'm still human (yeah yeah)It's ok (yeah yeah) for me to feel this way (yeah yeah)yeah

I got a little temper but I'm a funny one yeah 
And when the beat went on and it really ain't fucking hot enough
You should of seen me running out the studio like forest gump
Jo-jobs sugar taxi get away
Trapped in the U.S my accent is my giveaway 
I need a bag of green to make you go away 
And this is another day of my life and so I say
I've been waiting hours for this
I've made myself so sick

I wish to stay and sleep today (yeah yeah)
I'm so human (yeah yeah)
And it's OK for me to feel this way (yeah yeah)
I'm still human (yeah yeah)
It's OK for me to feel this way (yeah yeah)
