The last time
Oh,
The last time
She's got glistening skin that you
Just wanna taste
And her outfits outwit everyone in the place
And your friends say,
"You're fly"
Just play along the lines
You're talking bout the last time
You met someone who likes the same kinda things you like
And you're getting along just fine
Now I'm listening to the thoughts in my head
I'm in bed thinking about what I just did
Now I'm looking at myself
We'd bang on the shelf but,
You're fly
Just play along the lines
You're talking bout the last time
You met someone who likes the same kinda things you like
And you're getting along just fine
