What happens when the moment is everyday? I got money on my loneliness Cuz I don’t want you if you’re gonna be like that I don’t want you if you’re gonna be like that What happens isn’t all there is What happens isn’t all that you’re tryin to say I need more than you could ever give I don’t want you if you’re gonna be like that I don’t want you if you’re gonna be like that I don’t want you when you get it into my head that I need to prove it to u better than this I don’t want u if you’re gonna be like that racing from a bad love I don’t want u if you’re gonna act like that Racing to a photo finish I don’t want you if you’re gonna be like that If nothing is changing I don’t want u if you’re gonna be like that What happens when the moment hits? What happens when the moment is everyday? I got money on my loneliness I don’t want you when you get it into my head that I need to prove it to u better than him I don’t want u if you’re gonna be like that making me crazy I don’t want u if you’re gonna act like that Racing to a photo finish I don’t want you if you’re gonna be like that When nothing is changing I don’t want u if you’re gonna be like that
