Napkins

RIZ LA VIE

6

Life is good, who′s askin'?

Wrote my number down on too many napkins

Got tired of, "we′ll see what happens"Lights, camera, she 'bout that action

Which is good when I'm stagnant

And stuck to the mattress, stuck like a magnet

Life is good, but it′s taxin′

Discourse, distractions

Discotheque, mathematics

Gave her my number after dancin'

Life is good, who′s askin'?

You are not entitled to my time or my passion

Nights out ran me ragged

Got tired of bein′ nice out of habit

You can ask, you can't have it

Shorty back home snack wrapped in a blanket

Life is good, who′s askin'?

Wrote my number down on too many napkins

Got tired of, "we'll see what happens"

Lights, camera, she ′bout that action

Life is good, who′s askin'?

She ask in Spanish

Can′t understand it, still, somehow it's magic

Gave up on fashion

Changed up my balance, ate a salad

She got me Nikes, we went hiking

We got Popeye′s, hopped a red-eye

We caught sunrise out in Bedstuy

Know her bedtime I slip out the crib too late, I meet my fate

That's bad for me, a casualty, say it′s a meeting, it's a date

Feel like a dog, set my alarm for 5am, and then I left

Snuck into bed, disturbed her breath

I attest it's better to have loved and lost

Than to never have loved anything at all

But I loved it all too much and now I gotta fall

′Cause it′s far

It's been good, shouldn′t complain

But even when I win, I'm drained

I know I′m only gon' be sad again

′Cause none of this is permanent

Life is good, who's askin'?

Wrote my number down on too many napkins

Got tired of, "we′ll see what happens"

Lights, camera, she ′bout that action

She think it's funny how

We always spendin′ money goin' out

All the while we

Have everything we need at home

Now she

Wants me to start goin′ out alone

So I drive away, smile on my face
