Lyrics
She doesn?t understand the Artist he said
With big ideas inside his head
He?s tryin to change the world one word at a time
He doesn?t have the patience for a girl who?s lost her mind
She?s gonna be the death of him hell
Sucking all the breath from him well
And so he puts that girl away for now
He?s gotta get his muse back somehow
Ain?t easy trying to change the world you know
She?s gotta go
She?s gonna be the death of him hell
Sucking all the breath from him well
Here?s my broken pop song
Play yours if you got one
You just need some money and a hook that sells
Like "happy birthday" and "jingle bells"
Play it over and over and over and baby
Oo, I wish you well
Can?t you see that the words make no sense
Why don?t you put a rhyme in your sentence?
Says she
Cause this is what my demons tell me
I only do what they ask of me
Sense or not that?s all I got
She?s gonna be the death of him hell
Sucking all the breath from him well
Here?s my fuckin pop song
Play yours if you got one
You just need some money and a hook that sells
Like "happy birthday" and "jingle bells"
Play it over and over and over and
Ooo, I hope it sells
You just need some money
And a hook that sells
Like doo wah diddy and ma michelle
Play it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and
