D-WHY - Flattery Lyrics
[Verse 1]22, 5’5”, blonde hairRed lips, pale skin, arrogance in the airFun times, cigarettes, can you smoke over there?Some lies, and a cup of coffee to shareNew York is where the devil goesWhen the summer startsYou give her the worldShe leaves you with a broken heartAnother man at home, she left all aloneTwo years ago, I wonder if he even knowsThe saying goes, “what he doesn’t know, won’t hurt”He’ll have lies for breakfast and death for dessert[Pre-Hook]And if I live past my time, would you bury me alive?And if we end up in Vegas, would you marry me tonight?[Hook]You want flattery, money and carsClothes and gold, you want it allDon’t flatter me, ‘cause baby I knowYou don’t love me at allBut you gon’ need me, you gon’ need meYou gon’ need me—to fuel that attitudeAnd you gon’ need me, you gon’ need meYou gon’ need me—to flatter you[Verse 2]23, 6’2”, brown hairNew shirt, new cologne, wasn’t from around hereEgo, some charm, it was commitment that he feared‘Cause if you’re never scared, you shall never shed a tearLoneliness is where you go when the loving’s gone‘Cause there’s nothing wrong when she has nothing onBut when she starts to ask the questionsUse flattery as misdirection—soWe’ll take it slow—with my hand up your skirtThe lies or the truth, I don’t know what is worse[Pre-Hook][Hook][Bridge]And if I live past my time, you’d probably bury me aliveAnd if we ended up in Vegas, you’d never marry me tonight[Outro]I want flattery, money and cars, clothes and hoes, I want it allDon’t flatter me, ‘cause baby you know I don’t love you at allBut I’m a need you, I’m a need youI’m a need you to fuel this attitudeAnd I’m a need you, I’m a need youI’m a need you, to be flattered too
