Apple
The Rubens Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know what you've been on
How could someone be so wrong
Did you wash your eyes with soap, are you blind
Or are you just out of your mind
You might think he's cute
Yeah you could say that for a five
You don't know what you're doin
Comparing him to me as a nine
Girl you Compare apples and oranges
Not playing with a full deck
You scored the lowest of a scroingsheet
And you never gonna get me back
Girl you Compare apples and oranges
Apples and oranges
You scored the lowest of a scoringsheet
Lowest of a scoringsheet
To bad for you, that you chose the wrong guy
To bad for you but I'm glad to say bye
To bad for you, that you chose the wrong guy
To bad for you but I'm glad to say bye bye bye
To bad for you, that you chose the wrong guy
To bad for you but I'm glad to say bye
To bad for you, that you chose the wrong guy
To bad for you but I'm glad to say whooo
Girl you compare apples and oranges
Not playing with a full deck
You scored the lowest of a scroingsheet
And you never gonna get me back




Apples and oranges
