Frug

Rilo Kiley · The Initial Friend EP [2001]

And I can do the frug

I can do the Robocop

I can do the Freddie

I cannot do the Smurf

And I can hate your girl

I can tell you that she's real pretty

I can take my clothes off

I cannot fall in love

And I can do the frug

I can do the Robocop

I can do the Freddie

I cannot do the Smurf

And I can watch TV

I can shuffle up to Buffalo

I can do a backbend

I will not call you back

And I can start a book

I can make some mac and cheese

I can sleep twelve hours

You'll never see my eyes

Chorus

And I can hate your girl

I can tell you that she's real pretty

I can take my clothes off

I cannot fall in love

You'll never see my eyes

I will not call you back

I cannot do the smurf

I cannot fall in love

I'll never fall in love

I cannot fall in love...

Chorus

Frug
