I still remember that night it was the 4th of July,
|
Still engraved in my mind and I'm not surprised,
|
Gang wars no guns, hand to hand,
|
You're black, I'm white, they're purple,
|
But I still don't understand,
|
I'm gonna be alright, I'm gonna be okay, everything is gonna be fi-i-i-i-ine,
|
Back off, I wanna be alone, I wanna think it out and I'm thinking that I want to go home
|
|
Looks who¡¯s laughing now (look who¡¯s laughing now),
|
Pull it off some how and I said,
|
As I pass her by, I can see her cry, and I'll never forget,
|
The look that was in her eye, and when the music you know it played,
|
On and on and on so won't somebody tap her on the shoulder tell her life goes on?
|
|
2 years, 2 months, 1 week, 4 days, I am always counting down
|
'Cause there ain't no easier way so trust me, you know that I tried,
|
And if I say it's easy than you know that I told a lie
|
I'm gonna be alright, I¡¯m gonna be just fine,
|
1 down 5 billion to go, am I next in line do I really want to know
|
|
Look who¡¯s laughing now (look who¡¯s laughing now),
|
Pull it off somehow and I said,
|
As I pass her by, I can see her cry, and I'll never forget,
|
The look that was in her eye, and when the music you know it played,
|
On and on and on so won't somebody tap her on the shoulder tell her life goes on?
