the paint i bought won’t dry
you can’t be too beautiful
i’m gonna show / don’t need experience
i’m more compatible with women / not girls
you just leave / they messed up
you don’t have to / leave it all up to me
and if you ever rule my world
you don’t have to be rich
i want to be your school
not your book of rules
ain’t no fantasy
gonna keep you warm and dry
