(Verse)
|
She says she always smoked cigarettes ever since she was 7
|
She always likes the big ones best, you get more for that money
|
I know that she's gorgeous, I can't take her serious
|
She looks kinda ridiculous with her Malibu 120s
|
|
(Verse)
|
Some nights she's a scientist, she pulls me into experiments
|
Squeezes hard and charts the forward progress
|
Some nights she's a pharmacist, she's got some pills in her purse
|
One to wake you up, one if you're nervous and I serve my purpose
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Burns on her skirt and smoke in her eyes
|
I serve my purpose
|
We power down and try to socialize
|
I serve my purpose
|
She can probably find a better guy
|
I serve my purpose
|
She used to fool around with some friends of mine
|
That's fine. I mostly dig her and her big cigs
|
|
(Verse)
|
We met at a benefit. It was a pretty big opening
|
Her therapist says it's dangerous, the way she seeks validation
|
Some nights she's a magic trick, some nights she's a sinking ship
|
She pokes around with a paperclip, he's a pistol at the party
|
|
Once we get started
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Burns on her skirt and smoke in her eyes
|
I serve my purpose
|
We power down and try to socialize
|
I serve my purpose
|
She can probably find a better guy
|
I serve my purpose
|
She used to fool around with some friends of mine
|
That's fine. I mostly dig her and her big cigs
|
|
(Verse)
|
I'm pretty sure we both agree, we can both take some liberties
|
We all have our anxieties, this little trust is hard to quit
|
So we just sit here and revel it
|
|
(Chorus)
|
Burns on her skirt and smoke in her eyes
|
I serve my purpose
|
We power down and try to socialize
|
I serve my purpose
|
She can probably find a better guy
|
I serve my purpose
|
She used to fool around with some friends of mine
|
That's fine. I mostly dig her and her big cigs
|
