Skinny Genes
Eliza Doolittle Lyrics
I really don't like your point of view
I know you'll never change
Stinging me with your attitude
I've got the mind to walk away
I really don't like your arrogance
Or your policies
You're ninety-nine percent an embarrassment
Of just wrong (?) qualities
Brings out the best in me when you (whistles)
Show your expertise
When the night always ends with a fight I'm excited
That you are the best in me
I like it when you (whistles)
Can I have some please of that (whistles)
Satisfy my needs
Sometimes I fake that I hate you and make up
So you are the best in me
I really don't like your skinny jeans
So take them off for me
Show me what you've got underneath
So we can do this properly
I really don't like the way you smile
When you think you're right
But I will forgive you, the yoke is in the middle
And we're chewing through the wire
I don't mind it when you (whistles)
Brings out the best in me when you (whistles)
Show your expertise
When the night always ends with a fight I'm excited
That you are the best in me
I like it when you (whistles)
Can I have some please of that (whistles)
Satisfy my needs
Sometimes I fake that I hate you and make up
So you are the best in me
I dreamt that you were on a train
And you were leaving, you were leaving
Made me think of what I'd miss
Do you believe it, you believe it
I don't mind it when you (whistles)
Brings out the best in me when you (whistles)
Show your expertise
When the night always ends with a fight I'm excited
That you'll wind up next to me
I like it when you (whistles)
Can I have some please of that (whistles)
Take off your skinny jeans
Sometimes I fake that I hate you and make up
So you are the best in me
I dreamed that you were on a train
And you were leaving, you were leaving

Kiedy to w RMFie leciało, a ty jako dziecko miałeś spokojne życie bez stresu i zobowiązań.

This video was tumblresque before being tumbleesque was even a thing. Its so hip...like its an acceptable amount of hipster, if you know what mean lol, because of her insanely rad voice and vibe of the song! Super cool and quirky, love it!

Aisha Ikr!! she deserved more recognition tbh

+Aisha Personally, I think the descriptor "Tumblresque" is a pretty negative thing, and wouldn't tarnish Eliza Doolittle with the same brush.

I never get tired ofhering her. Somebody who really can sing without the electronic filtering is getting rare. I think I'm a lifelong fan😊
