Lyrics

Up on the rooftop my head explodes
Just like the fourth of July
I’m about to say I’m about to want you so
I just feel blue like so many other times

Don’t put my name to shame
I listen when my mama calls me
I ain’t no broad-faced lie
Trying to take anybody off to see
I listen when my mama calls me
I ain’t no broad faced lie
Trying to take anybody off to see

I got ‘em in the live 
Gotta get this off my head
Why’d you lead me around for so long
Like nobody can
Don’t you know what kinda guy I am

Don’t put my name to shame
I listen when my mama calls me
I ain’t no broad-faced lie
Trying to take anybody off to see
I listen when my mama calls me
I ain’t no broad-faced lie
Trying to take anybody off to see

Why’d you lead me around for so long
Like nobody can
Don’t you know what kinda guy I am
