Can we just roll for a minute? Wait a minute [Hook 2] Foot on the gas I'm just trying to pass All the red lights And the stop signs I'm ready to go But I'm really not ready, girl That's a problem Cause I'm way too scared to fall And I know you choose to stay, and oh [Verse 3] All the girlfriends saying "here we go again" Rich kid but he act like a gentleman Last one didn't end like it should've been Two dates and he still wanna get it in And they're saying it's because of the Internet Try her once and it's on to the next chick X-O the O face on your exes...right?
