Lyrics & Translation

[English]

so I can never be around a woman outside

of work that's not what I'm saying that

would be crazy all I am saying is if

you're going to hang out with a woman it

has to be when the Sun is up and she

can't be taller than me or younger than

me or weigh less than me or look like

she weighs less than me also you can't

share

food okay I guess if you're stranded and

you have to share food than clear soups

or broths only and you will display say

your wedding B close to your face at all

times photos of your children must be

present if they themselves cannot be if

she happens to touch you even if by

accident you will excuse yourself and

call me immediately if she has smokey

eye makeup that is bad if she has lazy

eye that's good Jessica you must always

travel in separate vehicles going back

lazy ey is out it encourages eye contact

and she must never have ever been or

even wanted to be a gymnast oh and this

goes without saying but no Denzel movies
