Champagne
311 · From Chaos
When will I stop trying
I mean, cuz it's just not how I planned to
Spend, my time til dying
I mean
Champagne
California on the brain
She's got an appetite for no refrains
Just verses she curses as blood vessels burst in defiance
She made an alliance to the dark side of Hollywood
Where everything looks good so I treat her as any other player would
Lightly, then she wants to fight me
Too bad, that's just too bad
I can't be around to pick up your bags
And your debts, she wants to love me with threats
Not taking chances, I'm hedging my bets
With other girls I'm not providing pearls
I'm free, free
I will never understand you
When will I stop trying
I mean, cuz it's just not how I planned to
Spend, my time til dying
I mean, I know loving me isn't easy
I'm home and next thing I'm leaving
but when I look at you it's like praying with my eyes
I follow you to sleep so I will find your dream place
And hey, I'm not an angel but girl you make me feel like I know one
one...
Champagne
California on the brain
She's got an appetite for no refrains
Just verses she curses as blood vessels burst in defiance
She made an alliance to the dark side of Hollywood
Where everything looks good so I treat her as any other sucker would
Tightly, then she wants to fight me
Too bad, that's just too bad
I can't be around to pick up your bags
And your debts, she wants to love me with threats
Not taking chances, I'm hedging my bets
With other girls I'm not providing pearls
I'm free, free
never understand...
