Gym Class Heroes

Radiokilla, killa

Hahaha, you know what it is

Gym Class Heroes, The-Dream

It's hard to look innocent when I got cookie crumbs all over my face, yeah

I like girls, they like me

They look so good in their Seven jeans

Thought you could be the one, and my only

I wanna be faithful

But I can't keep my hands out the cookie jar

My hands, my hands, my ha-uh, my hands

Can't keep my hands, my hands, my-uh-my

Can't keep my hands, my hands, my-uh-my

Can't keep my hands, my hands, my hands out the cookie jar

You see, I got this problem, I need help tryna solve it

'Cause meeting after meeting and I'm still a cookie-holic

You can hide 'em, I'ma find 'em on the counter, in the closet

And I'll say I ain't do it with my face covered in chocolate

My girl be setting booby traps to catch me eatin' Scooby Snacks

I left crumbs in the bed once, but I told her I was through with that

She still don't be believin' me

And I guess that I'm cool with that

But I got a sweet tooth, that'll never come loose

And the truth of the matter is

I like girls, they like me

They look so good in their Seven jeans

Thought you could be the one, and my only

I wanna be faithful

But I can't keep my hands out the cookie jar

My hands, my hands, my ha-uh, my hands

Can't keep my hands, my hands, my-uh-my

Can't keep my hands, my hands, my-uh-my

Can't keep my hands, my hands, my hands out the cookie jar

I got a thing for Milano, Biscotti Italianos

And I never turn down some Oreos, if you got those

Butter pecan Puerto Rican or them Oatmeal Raisin Asians

Hazelnut Brazilians, Macadamia Caucasians

Double stuffed or thin mint

It don't matter, you gettin' it

'Cause I got a sweet tooth that'll never come loose

And the fact of the matter is

I like girls, they like me

They look so good in their Seven jeans

Thought you could be the one, and my only

I wanna be faithful

But I can't keep my hands out the cookie jar

My hands, my hands, my ha-uh, my hands

Can't keep my hands, my hands, my-uh-my

Can't keep my hands, my hands, my-uh-my

Can't keep my hands, my hands, my hands out the cookie jar

I'm a monster for these cookies

I'm a beast for their treats

An animal for their crackers

Head to feet, they so damn sweet

Can't keep my hands, my hands, my ha-uh, my

Can't keep my hands, my hands, my hands out the cookie jar

And there you have it, hahaha

I tried my best

I went to Cookie Anonymous

I guess I'm a failure

I can't seem to keep my damn hands out the cookie jar, but

It is what it is

(Freak)
