Hey, la, la

La, la

Yeah

Building a house so it can fall at the first brick

If the cement don't stick

But I've been told

That it only gets harder from there!

Hmm, now that I'm young I just do what I do

I don't second guess too much.

Shed my ties and I'm not that wise

I'm not all grown up as such.

But all the talk about the ring and the baby

Gets me every time

Am I big enough, strong enough, to walk along your line?

Yeah, baby

Building a house so it can fall at the first brick

If the cement don't stick

But I've been told

That it only gets harder from there!

You say, I'm always on the hustle

That I don't know just how good I get it

And that there's plenty of men out there with money and muscle

Look at these hips, baby, don't you forget them

Oh, but the curves all go, the money we'll spend

What we're left with in the end,

Oh she's wantin' half and she's staking her claim

I'm saying, 'who's that bitch with my second name? '

Oh, cause building a house so it can fall at the first brick

If the cement don't stick

But I've been told

That it only gets harder from there!

Yeah, baby, truth be told

I'm only trying to keep my head above the water

Responsibility, eternal monogamy,

Ah I'm not a father, child

Are you a mother, are you?

Oh, my pride and joy

Yeah you, you are my pride and joy!

Yeah, building a house so it can fall at the first brick

If the cement don't stick

But I've been told

That it only gets harder from there!

Yeah, baby,

Building a house so it can fall at the first brick

If the cement don't stick

But I've been told

That it only gets harder from there!

But I've been told

That it only gets harder from there!

But I've been told

That it only gets harder from there!
