[Intro]

I think the best thing is to block her out

I think the best thing is to block her out


[Verse 1]

It's too good, it's too nice

She makes me finish too quick

Is it love? No, not love

She turns my sexual trick

She says she's mine, I know she lies

First, I scream, then I cry

Take a second of me

You beckon, I'll be

She suffocates me

She suffocates me with suggestion

I ask, "Do you feel the same?"

And later on, maybe I'll tell you my real name

She's so good, she's so bad

You understand, I can't stand

Now I could just kill a man

She's on her knees, I say please

I caress her silly lies, she's got brown eyes


[Chorus]

I think ahead of you, I think instead of you

Will you spend your life with me and stifle me?

I know why the caged bird sings, I know why


[Verse 2]

Forgive and you're forgiven, kingdom come

Can you wait for yours? I need to taste some

Life's really funny, I laugh while she spends my money

She's my freak, I guess I'm weak

You ask what is this? Mind your business

I pass idle days with my idle ways

Till the twelfth of always

She walks my hallways

I keep her warm, but we never kiss

She cuts my slender wrists

Let's waste some more time

I sign the dotted line

A different level

She-devil


[Chorus]

I think ahead of you, I think instead of you

Will you spend your life with me and stifle me?

I know why the caged bird sings, I know why


[Post-Chorus]

You ask what is this? Mind your business

I pass idle days with my idle ways

Till the twelfth of always

She walks my hallways

I keep her warm, but we never kiss


[Verse 3]

She says I'm weak and immature

But it's cool, I know what money's for

Push comes to shove

Her tongue's her favorite weapon on attack

I slap her back, she mostly hates me


[Chorus]

I think ahead of you, I think instead of you

Will you spend your life with me and stifle me?

I know why the caged bird sings, I know why


[Verse 4]

Can I take off your clothes before we go out?

And when you're helpless, I'll scream and shout

We finish every day, well, anyway

Sixty-nine degrees, my head's between your knees

You ask what is this? Mind your business


[Bridge]

It's too good, it's too nice

She makes me finish too quick

Is it love? No, not love

She turns my sexual trick

She says she's mine, I know she lies

First, I scream, then I cry

Take a second of me

You beckon, I'll be

Take a second of me


[Chorus]

I think ahead of you, I think instead of you

Will you spend your life with me and stifle me?

I know why the caged bird sings, I know why

I know why the caged bird sings, I know why
