Paramour
Ginger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How can I compete?
Man, that girl of yours is so damn sweet
How can I try?
I would kick his ass if she was a guy

Whatever she does for you
Is something that I don't do
I'd like to fuck her too

What do you expect?
She's an 'ex' that will not exit
She's as cute as it gets
Tasted your pussy long before we met

Whatever she does for you
Is something that I don't do
I'd like to fuck her too

And you're always gone, and she's always there
I wonder what goes on in all the time you share
And when we don't get along I wish that mama didn't bear a man
But damn

How can I compete
When I see you walking down the street?
If this was a movie
There'd be three of us between the sheets

Whatever she does for you
Is something that I don't do
I'd like to fuck her too
I'd like to fuck her too

Cause in an ideal world




I wouldn't hate your girl
I'd fuck the both of you
