Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Nicole you're still here I thought you

were leaving at 3:00 I'm leaving at 5:00

I told you three because it always takes

you longer than it should to come around

you really do spaghetti you got time for

one last a turn talk I'm sorry as a dope

I'm just really gonna miss you you're

going to miss me how am I supposed to

make it without you

you would permanent shotgun I mean

you've been there through everything I

know what sucks you won't be together

talking like this but you're gonna kill

it in New York Quinta Cole I'm gonna

miss you girl I'm gonna miss you full

are you crying

not just my oh jeez okay because you

know what happens in here stays in here

forever Wow and it's really flaring up

now
