Basic Being Basic

Get food, barely eat

Every bite just kept me glued to my seat

I worried, even cried

How′d it feel to take the light from my life?

Bad habit, even worse

50-50, I'm a sucker for looks

Asked for it, here it is

A quick example ′cause you wanted the hits

I think you're scared of bein' basic

That′s ironic ′cause it's like reading like you′re even more basic

It's not funny, it′s so funny

'Cause you′re basic

Just looking hot and keeping monotone and understated

Nothingness won't change it

(Good luck with that)

(Good luck with what?)

It's not funny, but it′s so funny

I don′t want your money, I don't care for fame

I don′t wanna live a life where that's my big exchange

I want simple pleasures, friends who have my back

Everyone has secrets, but not everyone can fool a man like that

It sent me reeling, still not the same

It′s like my capacity to love and give has changed

I guess I'll thank you and spite your name again

The past′s the past, and I'll outlast

The hate to find real love that's not pretend

How basic (sell me on it)

Shuffle numbers, pointing fingers, ditching chats in different apps

That′s basic

It′s not funny, it's so funny

That′s just basic being basic (basically)

You said he looked just like a girl, so you like girls

I guess I'll take it

Yeah, that′s funny, you're so funny

Change your body, change your face

Curl your hair, then make it straight

Take a picture of your plate, Tarantino movie taste

Rah-rah, cheugy-phobe, Vera Bradley′s back in Vogue

It's a flash photograph

What an empty epitaph that is (that's basic)

What an empty epitaph that is (that′s basic)

What an empty epitaph (that′s just basic being basic)

Yeah, my tight five might get a laugh as is

If that's funny, I′m not funny
