lyrics

[verse1]
Nowwww
Here’s a little story I gotsa about
funky49 who you know so well
broke things off and quit a team
things weren’t going the way of my dreams,
coulda been better with my speech, but I
did my best with the words in my reach, now
this is true - have no doubt, truth is stranger
than any... fiction... about...

[verse2]
she made it tough to replace her stuff
devoured by Katie my loveable pup but I
replaced a poster frame and peep it
three bras by Fredrick’s Secret
she tried to paint me as some douche for
turning her loose, mad for any excuse
didn’t take her bait, her stuff replaced when
she slammed a door in her dog’s face
That attitude finally got me mad
Reminded this girl... about her past months
back, i got HER out of trouble
after she blacked out behind a night club
in Channelside, it looks real chic
inside, she punched a dude in the BEAK
… kept chill as she stepped close and said
“whatcha gonna do, break my nose?”

I should have NOT brought that up!

HOOK

[verse3]
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell
THAT set her off, great
At my car she threw a milk crate!
immediately man, I was outta there
her beyond reason and beyond care
got in my car thinking I was good until
uhhh, she climbed on my car hood!
her girl freaked, no more calm
I dialed nine one one on my palm
didn’t know what I was supposed to do so I
high-tailed it to a Wal-Mart dude.
bought a huuuuge ass metal flashlight
hollared at redvoid to hang for the night
Caught up with her girl who witnessed this
didn’t have to worry about my physical fitness
home safe was my ex... fast asleep
but that night i barely slept a wink

HOOK

[verse4]
One guy’s dime is another’s change, took
control of my life with a re-arrange
...no more girl means no more action but
this is addition via subtraction
...it’s never fun to break up...
just wanna feel it when I wake up
...even tho things didn’t end so well
thanks for listening to the story I had to tell
