training wheels - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

So you cook her dinner, and you buy her flowers

Keep it up for hours, well, that's news to me 'cause

You didn't lift a finger, you were always sour

Always such a downer, the joke's on me

I rode around in circles trying to please you

But you always wanted more (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Face was turning purple trying to keep you

While your foot was out the door (Ooh-ooh)

Ain't it funny how your love just disappeared

The moment that I dried up all your tears?

All I ever did was try to lift you up

Now it's obvious you never gave a fuck about me, did you, dear?

Gave you my best, gave you the whole world

All for the next, all for the next girl

For me it was so real, but for you I was just training wheels

Training wheels

Guess I was just practice, helped kick your bad habits

This story is tragic

When you met me, you needed a miracle

Did the Lord's work, woman gone spiritual

Then you left me feelin' kinda cynical (Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Rode around in circles trying to please you

But you always wanted more (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Face was turning purple trying to keep you

While your foot was out the door (Ooh-ooh)

Ain't it funny how your love just disappeared

The moment that I dried up all your tears? (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

All I ever did was try to lift you up

Now it's obvious you never gave a fuck about me, did you, dear?

Gave you my best, gave you the whole world

All for the next, all for the next girl

For me it was so real, but for you I was just training wheels

Training wheels

Training wheels, mm

Gave you my best, gave you the whole world

All for the next, all for the next girl

For me it was so real, but for you I was just training wheels
