"5 Dollar Pony Rides"
Said, it ain't about money
I could show you the world, girl
What can you do for me?
We can take a vacation, and go somewhere in the country
Turn the radio on, hear my song sayin' (whoa, oh, oh)
My favorite song sayin' (whoa, oh, oh)
She don't know she slept through the future
Missed it, it was yesterday
So we (we) right (right) back where we started
She still tryna get away (get away)
Girl, you wastin' my time (time)
And I am wastin' your time
But that's okay (whoa, oh, oh)
I said, it's okay (whoa, oh, oh, oh)
Let me give you what you want, ooh
And maybe later, what you need, yeah
I remember, girl, you used to have fun, yeah
Now I ain't seen a smile in a while
Heard you're feelin' pretty lonely, yeah
Your daddy should've got you that pony
Let me give you what you want
Killin' yourself like this
Goin' crazy, keepin' all of these secrets
How is that livin'? (Livin', livin')
Every time I reminisce, I keep thinkin' it was better then
I remember when we made (made) out (out) underneath the rain clouds
Stay (stay) out (out) late, I wanna lay down
Break (break) ground (ground), then you tell me (whoa, oh, oh)
Whoa, oh, whoa, oh (whoa, oh)
We could be okay, don't know for sure
(She don't, she don't, she don't know)
Just familiar numbers hammered to your door
You left home right away (right away)
'Cause your life is like night and day (night and day)
You keep goin', goin', goin' back and forth
Let me give you what you want, ooh
And maybe later, what you need, yeah
I remember, girl, you used to have fun, yeah
Now I ain't seen a smile in a while
Heard you're feelin' pretty lonely, yeah
Your daddy shoulda got you that pony
Let me give you what you want
Can I, can I, can I, can I, can I, can I
Can I give you what you need?
Can I, can I, can I, can I
Can I give you what you want?
Can I, can I, can I, can I, can I, can I, can I
Can I give you what you need, what you need?
What do you need, girl? Yeah
Said, can I give you what you want?
Whoa, whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Can I give you what you need?
Whoa, whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Said, can I give you what you want?
Whoa, whoa, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
Can I give you what you need, what you need?
What do you need, girl?
