You Woulden't Believe
311 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He was a king 'til she laid waste
Now he can not fill up the space
And I just see him drifting, while he's drifting On Bourbon Alley, feeling low
Just because she let him go
I don't think he even knows
He'll ever be fine

[Chorus]
And he's got a head full of ideas, let me tell ya
That you wouldn't believe
And he's got a heart made of pure gold
And something else, so many tricks up his sleeve
You might think he's a jester because he'll
Make you laugh â??til you cry
And what else, you better come with your best if you test him
Unless you're ready to die

Wonder woman got rid of wonder man
That man's not part of her wonder plan
Letter to the so called, better bet on my man
Believe it you will find out, baby, damn

[Chorus]

A million people come and go
Through a person's ebb and flow
And faces keep on changing, while they're changing
A certain few will stay intact
When they're not, they'll don an act
I know this important fact
Don't get confused like

[Chorus]

First you love him, then you're loving him not
All the while, he just smiles, giving all that he's got
Do you find it in your heart to say he's not what you sought?
Do you want me to continue with this, or what?

Whoa, yeah, whoa, yeah
Head full of ideas, let me tell ya
That you wouldn't believe




And he's got a heart made of pure gold
And something else, so many tricks up his sleeve Sleeve, sleeve

Great video. Just got back into wow after 8.3 got released, I just hit 120 as well would you recommended maxing out my profession (blacksmithimg) before I try to flip or sell anything?

Djuntas

Sadly, as I talk about, mark of honor can be hard to get. But if you have them already for recipes, go for it. BS is great for uncanny items, mount items etc.

This is by far the best video about gold making in wow. other videos are just too bullshit or clone of each other. thank you. I hope you make more in depth profession guides like this.

Djuntas

Thanks man. Yea, I kinda hate other gold videos on youtube, they always have stupid BS in them - Of course now a days I make only like 500k a month, maybe up to 1.5 million, but now its end of BFA, so demand is down, and profit margins to. Anyway, cant complain, I made my bag.

Lionleaper

You had me when you said that you dont use TSM finally someone like me <3

Palric

@Djuntas what are stupid moron decisions you do with tsm? Wtf are you talking about?
Also i play on a high pop server and nearly never encounter any laggs, idk what you are talking.
Also You are inefficient if you dont use tsm, if you want to sit longer in front of the ah and insert your auctions, you do you, but its way more inefficient that using tsm.
How can you be so salty about tsm that you want it to be banworthy, what the actual fuck hhaha

Djuntas

@Palric Why wouldn't I be annoyed when it causes server instability and promotes botting. You will never be able to defend it from me. Also im not inefficient as you put it, it takes me 10 minutes to re-post and buy stuff the first post of the day, then even less than that for 2nd or 3rd. And I get to do that without making stupid moron decisions because I rely on an addon.

Palric

@Djuntas Haha you´re soo mad about tsm. Well keep being inefficent by not using tsm.

Djuntas

@Palric Its bad because it makes people do stupid decisions, and ruins the AH for others. Dont defend it, your literally cause server instability which should be a ban able offense.

Palric

@Djuntas Sure you´re doing a great job without using it, but there is a reason why all the other big players use tsm. If it would be trash noone would use it. It´s an great addon, you just dont like it, but this doasnt mean its bad at all.
