[Verse 1]

I love her like a strip mall parking lot

Ain’t a lot to talk about

When you’re the thing we’re talking about

She’s always been a rest stop diner

With the candy pink signage

Hard to know if it’s ironic or not

And we stop at a cheap motel

And I thought I would sleep, oh well

‘cause I need what I need, oh well

‘cause I need what I need, so I, so I

Heard your song on the radio

And I wanted to let you know

That I love all the shit you wrote

For me, don’t I?


[Chorus]

Monica

Must be a burden to be fun as fuck

I love the way you sing those love songs

Tell me like you wrote them thinking of me

Sad songs

I got ‘So Gone’ up in my hеadphones

I love the way you sing thosе sad songs

Tell me like you wrote them strictly for me


[Instrumental]


[Verse 2]

I love her like a

Hand-me-down Christmas sweater

Flower print paper on my wall

All of that kitschy treasures

I don’t think about her much at all

Sharin’ these simple pleasures

Drivin’ through Richmond in her car

Gettin’ my shit together

That was when she put on her song

Say it ain’t so babe

Think that I’ve found my soulmate, yeah

We should relocate

Promised that I wouldn’t be home late


[Bridge]

But, throwin’ my hands up

Fall to my knees and

Got what I want

Got what I am

Got what I need, yeah

She’s just my ball and chain

She’s just my DJ

Prove me right

Make my night

Make it easy


[Chorus]

Monica (call me)

Must be a burden to be fun as fuck (must be a burden to be fun)

I love the way you sing those love songs

Tell me like you wrote them thinking of me (just for me)

Sad songs (sad songs)

I got ‘So Gone’ up in my headphones (‘So Gone’, your favourite song)

I love the way you sing those sad songs

Tell me like you wrote them strictly for me (it’s like you wrote them ones for me)
