She hates her work but loves to flirt

It's a shame, she don't work with me

She said, "you never got that from me."

She said, "you never got that from me."

Oh, but I said, "you got that look from me."

I said, "I'm only looking out for you."

She said, "It's obvious that's a lie.

But I only ever put out for you,

She said, "It's obvious that's a lie.

But I only ever put out for you,

You know it's obvious you don't try."

I got misled, mistook, discard

Anything that I said

See I'm not the type to call you up drunk

But I've got some lies to tell.
