VERSE 1

I came into this world as a reject. Look into these eyes, then you'll see the size of the flames. Dwellin' on the past. It's burnin' in 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 came to play, now she's stuck with my homeez that she fucked, and i'm just a sucker with a lump in my throat, like a chump, like a chump, etc.

When I was born, no one accepted me. My ocular organs are on fire. I spend undue time pondering history, which is why my brain is also on fire. Everyone who is on fire will be the wiser for it. One subject of my reminiscing is the incident in which the woman I was seeing fled on foot with compensation I had earned in my job. She did this when other men wanted to enjoy her company. This led to sexual intercourse, and now she is beholden to ties with those men that she might prefer not to have. Meanwhile, I feel embarrassed by my naivete, and it is uncomfortable to swallow. I am worthy of mockery for having been so foolish.

VERSE 2

Should i be feelin' bad? Should i be feelin' good? It's kinda sad i'm the laughing stock of the neighborhood. Hey, you would think that 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. My heart'll ache either way. Hey, what the hell what you want me to say? I won't lie that I can't deny.

Is it more justifiable for me to be melancholy or cheerful? Unfortunately, those who live on my street guffaw at my misfortune. One might predict that I would not dwell on these issues, but as I have explained, I am naive and mentally disturbed. Or not? Also, it's possible that my girlfriend simply erred and that I should be less hard on her. Regardless, I will have cardiac discomfort. I'm unclear as to which words you would prefer I utter. It is not in my nature to deceive or mislead.

CHORUS

I did it all for the nookie, the nookie, so you can take that cookie and stick it up your ***, stick it up your *** stick it up your ***, stick it up your ... (Repeat)

My actions were motivated by sex, by sex, so you have my permission to insert a popular baked treat into your sphincter.

VERSE 3

Why did it take so long? Why did I wait 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 could be decieved by my so-called girl, but in reality had a hidden agenda. She put my tender heart in a blender and still I surrendered, like a chump, like a chump, etc.

What caused the excessive duration of time, and my deliberation in bringing my analysis to some fruitful conclusion? Actually, though, every human besides me reached that conclusion. It is remarkable that my girlfriend -- though that might not be the best title for her, given her lack of loyalty -- successfully lied to me. But someone was motivated by secret goals. She placed my main circulatory organ into a kitchen appliance that purees food. After that, my corpse admitted defeat, as if I were a naive person deserving of mockery.

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE

I'm only human. It's so easy for your friends to give you their advice. They'll tell you just let it go. It's easier said than done. I appreciate it, I do, but just leave me alone. Leave me alone. Just leave me alone. And nothing's gonna change 'cause you can go away, and I'm just gonna stay here and always be the same. I'm just gonna stay.

My species is none other than homo sapien. It takes little effort for one's comrades to offer guidance and to suggest releasing one's grip, although doing so is more challenging to act upon than it is to utter. I am thankful for such suggestions, but please stop bothering me. Stop bothering me. Simply stop bothering me. I am certain that conditions will not be altered because you are free to leave, while I intend never to change. I am simply going to remain where I am.

(CHORUS)
