Next Girl
The Black Keys Lyrics
Well, the look of the cake, it ain't
It ain't always the taste
My ex girl, she had such a, such a beautiful face
I wanted love but not for myself
But for the girl so she could
So she could love herself
Oh my next girl
Will be nothing like, my ex girl
I made mistakes back then, I'll never do it again
She'll be nothing like my ex girl
It was a painful death, nah
I got a second chance
Oh her beautiful face and her wicked ways
And I'm praying for her beautiful face everyday
All that work, over, over so much time
If I, if I think too hard, I might lose my mind
Oh my next girl, yeah
Will be nothing like, my ex girl
I made mistakes back then
I'll never do it again
With my next girl
She'll be nothing like my ex girl
It was a painful dance and I
I got a second chance, yeah
Next girl, yeah
My next girl

For the mobile kidz
The look of the cake
It ain't always the taste
My ex girl she had
Such a beautiful face
I wanted love
But not for myself
But for the girl
So she could love herself
My next girl
Will be nothing like my ex girl
I made mistakes back then
I'll never do it again
With my next girl
She'll be nothing like my ex girl
That was a painful dance
Now I got a second chance
A beautiful face
And a wicked way
And I'm paying for her
Beautiful face every day
All that work
Over so much time If I think too hard
I might lose my mind
My next girl
Will be nothing like my ex girl
I made mistakes back then
I'll never do it again
With my next girl
She'll be nothing like my ex girl
That was a painful dance
Now I got a second chance

"well, the look of the cake it ain't, it ain't always the taste" the best line in this song.

Like most people I read the subtitles and thought they were hysterical, but fun fact the video was directed and sent to the Black Keys and they legitimately hated it and Dan said the only way he would approve it is if he can put this disclaimer on it dissing the video thinking they would be deterred and move on away from the project, and they were like lol ok, slapped the disclaimer on there, sent it out anyways and called it a day

Yea I stopped watching it once I read the part where they asked me stop watching. Corporate decision makers who alter artists works are the lowest of scum, right down there with political advertisers and car warranty phone spammers. If it's a ruse, I stand by my original statement.
David Hill
i think you have fallen for the whole ruse. them say it is all true is part of it. they are working you, dont be a mark
