No Scrubs
Glee Cast · Other Songs - Glee Cast
Ooh, yeah
A Scrub is a guy that thinks he's fly
And is also known as a buster
Always talkin' about what he wants
And just sits on his broke ass
So
Blaine (with New Directions Boys):
(No!)
I don't want your number (No)
I don't want to give you mine and (No)
I don't want to meet you nowhere (No)
I don't want none of your time and (No)
Artie with New Directions Boys:
I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hanging out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride
Trying to holler at me
I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hanging out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride
Trying to holler at me
Ryder:
But a scrub is checkin' me
But his game is kinda weak
And I know that he cannot approach me
Sam (with Artie):
Cuz I'm lookin' like class
And he's lookin' like trash
Can't (get wit' no deadbeat ass
So)
Joe (with New Directions Boys):
(No!)
I don't want your number (No)
I don't want to give you mine and (No)
I don't want to meet you nowhere (No)
I don't want none of your time (No)
Artie with New Directions Boys:
I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hanging out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride
Trying to holler at me
I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hanging out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride
Trying to holler at me
Ryder:
If you don't have a car and you're walking
Oh yes son I'm talking to you (Artie: You)
