[Verse 1]

Isn't funny how some people never practice what the preach

Isn't it sad that the strongest arm's still too short to reach

I watch him struggle with the fact that he's become what he said he'll never be

Hip parties and sunglasses at night they help him not to see

Can he see?


[Chorus]

He's been high on a young girls' vibe

Never alone on a Saturday night

He's been all around the world, about a million times

But he's never been love, not on the inside


[Verse 2]

Isn't so messed up to be witness for a man who won't confess

He won't confess, no

That he lost his truth, so caught up in believin' his own press

I watch him struggle with the fact that he relies on people that don't really care

They don't care, no, no, no

You say that the business is a whack

So baby why are you so deep in there?


[Chorus]

He's been high on a young girls' vibe

Never alone on a Saturday night

He's been all around the world, about a million times

But he's never been love, not on the inside


[Bridge]

One day it's gonna be too late

Or maybe it's too late, anyway

Famous has made you shameless

But not blameless

Just loveless, loveless, loveless


[Chorus]

He's been high on a young girls' vibe

Never alone on a Saturday night

He's been all around the world, about a million times

But he's never been love, not on the inside

He's been high on a young girls' vibe

Never alone on a Saturday night

He's been all around the world, about a million times

But he's never been love, not on the inside
