[Verse 1]

Run fast from my day job

Runnin' fast from the way it was

Jump quick to a paycheck

Runnin' back to the strip club

I'm never goin' back, never goin' back

No, you can't make me

Never goin' back, never goin' back (Nah)

They'll never take me

I've paid enough of petty dues

I've heard enough of shitty news

I've had a thing for dirty shoes since I was ten

Love dirty men alike


[Pre-Chorus]

Ooh

Better day than yesterday (Keep cuttin' up)

Ooh

I just take it day by day

Ooh, oh

Never hearing what they say (Uh)

Ooh-ooh (Mm)

I just do it my way


[Chorus]

All I got is these broken clocks

I ain't got no time

Just burnin' daylight

Still love, and it's still love, and it's still love

It's still love, still love (Still love), still love

It's still love, it's still love

Nothin' but love for you (Nothin' but)

Nothin' but love (Nothin' but)

Nothin' but love


[Post-Chorus]

All that I've got, pieces and pages

Talkin' a lot, sorry, I'm faded (Turnin' up real good tonight)

Think I forgot you love me (Think I forgot the other night)

You love me, you love me


[Verse 2]

Got a shift at 10 AM (Yeah)

Gotta dip at 10 PM (Nah)

Gotta get that cash

Won't get past a lunch break

I ain't had a smoke break

In about two days, don't break (Ugh)

Been about three years since I dated you

Why you still talkin' 'bout me like we together?

I moved on for the better, you moved on to whoever

I was down for whatever and then some

You gon' make me late to work again


[Pre-Chorus]

Ooh

Better day than yesterday

Ooh

I just take it day by day

Ooh, oh

Never hearing what they say

Ooh-ooh

I just do it my way (Keep doin' it)


[Chorus]

All I got is these broken clocks

I ain't got no time

Just burnin' daylight

Still love, and it's still love, and it's still love

It's still love, still love, still love (Still love)

It's still love, and it's still love (Still love)

Nothin' but love for you

Nothin' but love (Nothin' but)

Nothin' but love


[Bridge]

I don't eat, can't sleep past 9 AM

Heartbeat make me feel young again (Make me feel like a—)

Can't beat 'em, just join the party (Let me join the party)

I don't wanna, don't need nobody


[Post-Chorus]

All that I've got, pieces and pages

Talkin' a lot, sorry, I'm faded

Think I forgot you love me

You love me, you love me


[Outro]

You love me

You love me

You love me
