John Doe (feat. Priscilla Renae)-B.o.B.
Seems like your heart stops working
the minute they close the curtain
And take off your mask,
and take off your costume
And if anyone asks
you're taking a small break
Drinking some coffee
But everyone knows what you're doing
Seems like the bus moves slower,
just cause you got somewhere to go
So you take a few pills in Beverly Hills
But if anyone asks
you've got a prescription
You got an addiction,
Who do you think that you're fooling?
John Doe, I just want the John I know
Once you put the drinks on hold
Maybe you could come back home
John Doe, ooh oh oh oooh
Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh
Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh
Errybody's addicted to something
Errybody got a grip onto something,
Even if it's just the feel too
responsible to be maybe once,
maybe twice
Maybe hundreds of times
hundreds of times
But that it's just harder to function at times
You wasted at the bottom of every single bottle
As if it was someone or something to find
You're struggling in your mind
And you tell yourself lie after lie
And you get to the point
where there's no lower
That people that you work
with noticed the sings
And you walk in the room
And you notice it's been quiet,
So you break up the silence
you say you've been at the gym
But the way look ain't blame on the diet
So what you hiding?!
John Doe, I just want the John I know
Once you put the drinks on hold
Maybe you could come back home
John Doe, ooh oh oh oooh
Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh
Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh
Yeah, I've probably had too many things
Mashed too many freaks
Had too much to drop me
Had too much to drink
Left the club, ended up in custody
When the drug test passed it luckily
My girlfriend cause she woke me up suddenly
with a woman up on me,
I told her wait! it ain't what it look like
I must've slip and fell, clumsy me!
Well, at least I admit it,
cause the worst you could do
Is to do it and not to be mad
enough to say that you did it
That's just how you prevent it
well I ain't no different
I love all the money, the fame,
And the parties with beautiful women!
I spend so much time as an underground artist
'Cause I was afraid to succumb to the business
That I've become?
But that what you'd judge I become
with the greatest resistance
That's how the tables can turn when they
and change the perspective
and rip your entire position
My whole life I've been dying to wish
and to live the experience
That everything's possible
when I told 'em my dreams
They just said they were logical
Now, I can see it it's optical
Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh
Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh
John Doe, I just want the John I know
Once you put the drinks on hold,
Maybe you could come back home
