You keep telling me I've got everything
You say I've got everything I won't
You keep telling me you're gonna hell me
You're gonna hell me 'cause you dunk

You see it's got me so that I just can't sleep.
You keep telling me I've got everything
You say I've got everything I want
You keep telling me you're gonna help me
you're gonna help me, but you don't
But now I'm in too deep
You see it's got me so that I just can't sleep.
