[Verse 1] 22, 5'5”, blonde hair Red lips, pale skin, arrogance in the air Fun times, cigarettes, can you smoke over there? Some lies, and a cup of coffee to share New York is where the devil goes When the summer starts You give her the world She leaves you with a broken heart Another man at home, she left all alone Two years ago, I wonder if he even knows The saying goes, “what he doesn't know, won't hurt” He'll have lies for breakfast and d**h for dessert [Pre-Hook] And if I live past my time, would you bury me alive? And if we end up in Vegas, would you marry me tonight? [Hook] You want flattery, money and cars Clothes and gold, you want it all Don't flatter me, ‘cause baby I know You don't love me at all But you gon' need me, you gon' need me You gon' need me—to fuel that attitude And you gon' need me, you gon' need me You gon' need me—to flatter you [Verse 2] 23, 6'2”, brown hair New shirt, new cologne, wasn't from around here Ego, some charm, it was commitment that he feared ‘Cause if you're never scared, you shall never shed a tear Loneliness is where you go when the loving's gone ‘Cause there's nothing wrong when she has nothing on But when she starts to ask the questions Use flattery as misdirection—so We'll take it slow—with my hand up your skirt The lies or the truth, I don't know what is worse [Pre-Hook] [Hook] [Bridge] And if I live past my time, you'd probably bury me alive And if we ended up in Vegas, you'd never marry me tonight [Outro] I want flattery, money and cars, clothes and hoes, I want it all Don't flatter me, ‘cause baby you know I don't love you at all But I'm a need you, I'm a need you I'm a need you to fuel this attitude And I'm a need you, I'm a need you I'm a need you, to be flattered too
