Doin' Time
Sublime · Best Of: Green Series [2008]
Chorus
Summer time and the livings easy
Bradley's on the microphone with ras M.G
All the people in the dance will agree that
We're well qualified to represent the LBC
we, me and Louie
Run to the party, dance to the rhythm
It gets harder
Me and my girl, we got this relationship
I love her so bad, but she treats me like shit
All locked down like a penitentiary
She spreads her lovin all over and when she gets home,
There's none left for me
Chorus
Oh take this veil from off my eyes
My burning sun will someday rise
what am I gonna be doing for a while
Said I'm gonna play with myself
Show them now we've come off the shelf.. so what
Chorus
Evil, I've come to tell you that she's evil
Most definitely
Evil, ornery, scandalous and evil
Most definitely
The tension is getting harder
I'd like to pull her head underwater, oh
Me and my girl
We got a relationship x4
Chorus fade to instrumental.
