Are you fucking joking?
Let's go, oh my god!
Hm
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna tell you 'bout
One of the many men, name is irrelevant, height is irrelevant
He was a one out of a ten, I wish that I knew it then
I'm still recovering, uh
Truly, I'm vulnerable, I love a sentiment
Quickly I opened up, I learned my lesson then
Thought I was safe again, thought he was innocent
I was so wrong
I can't deny
I was stuck in the daze, a terrible phase
You was convincing, though
Very believable, the role that you played
So I'll take this front row seat
And, baby, baby, you can go ahead
Cry those Oscar-winning tears
Popcorn and I scream, yes
Baby, baby, you can go ahead
Cry those Oscar-winning te-te-tears
Oh, what a tragedy, it didn't have to be
Look how you talk to me, cursing and blasphemy
Cinematography, get this on camera, please
Or no one gon' believe this here, no
I can't deny
I thought you were the man, but you had a plan
The fuck you lying for? Are you crying for?
You did it again (yeah, ah-ah-ah)
So I'll take this front row seat, baby
And baby, baby, you can go ahead
Cry those Oscar-winning tears
Popcorn and I scream, yes
Baby, baby, you can go ahead
Cry those Oscar-winning tears, tears, te-te-tears
You can miss me with the bullshit
'Cause I can see right through your tears, baby
Nine o'clock entertainment
Oh, man, I wish I could tape it
Sit down, no tissues
No string section, no tiny violin
For the last time, I'm your audience
I'll take this front row seat
And baby, baby, you can go ahead and cry those, baby
Go ahead, cry those Oscar-winning tears, baby
Would you go ahead, cry those Oscar-winning tears
