[English]

Woo, oh

Here we go again

...

Uh-uh, hee-hee

Uh, look, listen, shut up

Jerome, Jerome

Take your ass home

And come back when you're grown

Jerome, Jerome

Go on, take your ass home

Where the peaches have thorns, ooh

Poor little baby

Who told you that you stood a chance with this royalty?

You're so sweet, bless your heart

Can't let a pretty face distract me from business

And God as my witness, your ugly ass won't either

I'm sorry, 2 AM photos with smileys and hearts

Ain't the way to my juicy parts

Boy, thank me later, looks good on paper

But love isn't easy, so I'll do the hardest part

Jerome, Jerome

Go on, take your ass home

And come back when you're grown

Jerome, oooh, Jerome

Go on, take your ass home

Where the peaches have thorns

I never said I was perfect

Or you don't deserve a good person to carry your baggage

I know a few girls that can handle it

I ain't that kind of chick, but I can call 'em for you if you want

I never said that you wasn't attractive

Your style and that beard, ooh, don't get me distracted

I'm tryna be patient, and patience takes practice

The fact is I'm leaving, so just let me have this

Jerome, Jerome

Take your ass home

And come back when you're grown, oh

Jerome, ooh, Jerome

Go on, take your ass home

Where the peaches have thorns

Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee

(Don't cry for me, baby)

Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee

Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee

(Oh, don't cry for me, baby)

Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee, hee
