I came into this world as a reject Look into these eyes Then you'll see the size of these flames Dwellin on the past Its burnin' up my brain Everyone that burns has to learn from the pain Hey I think about the day My girlie ran away with my pay When fellas come to play No she stuck with my homeez that she fucked And I'm just a sucker with a lump in my throat Hey, like a chump Should I be feelin' bad? No Should I be feelin good? No Its kinda sad I'm the laughin' stock of the neighborhood You would think that I'd be movin' on But I'm a sucker like I said Fucked up in the head, not!! Maybe she just made a mistake I should give her a break My heart will ache either way Hey, what the hell Watcha want me to say I wont lie that I cant deny I did it all for the nookie Come on The nookie Come on So you can take that cookie And Stick it up your, yeah! Stick it up your, yeah! Stick it up your, yeah! I did it all for the nookie Come on The nookie Come on So you can take that cookie And Stick it up your, yeah! Stick it up your, yeah! Stick it up your, yeah! Why did it take so long? Why did I wait so long, huh To figure it out? but I did it And I'm the only one underneath the sun who didn't get it I cant believe that I can be deceived By my so called girl, but in reality Had hidden agenda She put my tender heart in a blender And still I surrendered Hey, like a chump I did it all for the nookie Come on The nookie Come on So you can take that cookie And Stick it up your, yeah!
