Well I know I'm not the coolest
Not the most popular
Not the best dressed
All I have for you is love and respect

I know you and the other girls are into the bad boys
Athletes, and so called musicians who make noise
Y'all like treating your boyfriends like toys

Let me to tell you somethin'
You'll never get far with all that frontin'
Just ask Pharrell

Love is more hypocritical
Than a pro-ball player
Being named Carlos Boozer
Honestly when I approached you
I expected to take the L
Because I'm used to being the loser

I just thought you were different
I didn't really think you were this mean
No need to get jazzy
Although my favorite song is
Miles Davis' "Blue In Green"
I only play it when I get kinda blue

Like right now

I hate when I let my guard down
And expose myself like this
I am officially retiring
From the dating version of battleship

Because when my ship gets sunk
Everyone thinks it's a joke
I shall be alone forever
When people ask me if I have a girlfriend
My answer will forever be  "Nope!"

I've never done drugs
But I feel like such a dope
Rejection and heartbreak are a normal part of my world
As she tells me no
...And he gets the girl
