lyrics

Never gonna write another love song, no. Haven’t we got enough of them on the stack?

I mean for real, how many times we gotta hear about the “ones who got away” and how they won’t be back?

But let’s say I’ve got a woman so real that to say nothing about her or the way she makes me feel would make me more or less a liar…

My woman don’t kneel to no king. My woman doesn’t kiss the ring and she don’t shine shoes.

My woman reaches right past the ham. She’s not attracted to the antiquated glam of the profession that I somewhat do.

I’m only human meaning every now and then I get daydreaming on a hen and what it might feel like inside her or if I’m tall enough to ride her.

But you ain’t half my woman. God damn, you leave me uninspired.

These middle aged vampires in east L.A. will try to hang their hat on every word you say and every thing you do.

You think you’ve got them all on deck until they’ve got another lawyer wrung around your neck searching through the wreck when your personal check don’t go through.

You’re no longer in the client base. They’re not going to recognize your face the next time the company card gets used. You’re going to have to buy your own damn booze.

I only ever tell the truth.

Yeah, my stomach’s temporarily in a knot. Maybe you’re hitting on a fetish that I caught when the tide rolled through.

But there’s a body rolled up in your yoga mat and an illuminati eyeball in your avian themed tattoo.

If you would just call all them dogs off your gate I might could set that A1, upper middle class pussy on fire.

I don’t know… Maybe…

But you ain’t half my woman. Your services are not required.
You ain’t half my woman. Your draw is but a weak desire.
You ain’t half my woman. God damn, you leave me uninspired.
