“She’s not as hot as she was, but she was only a four,

she was never a girls’ girl she was just bored.

And with all of that money

why’s she dressed like trash?

When she smiles it’s annoying

and have you seen her

stu-mb-ling clu-msily,

would you even call that dancing?”

I… can see, what… you

mean… and… now… I… guess… there’s

Some-thing… we all… can agree… on,

but my… baby likes… what he likes, oh-whoa oh-oh.

He al-ready took… me to Cleve-land

and showed me The Heights, so hate all you like,

this is the love of my life – hey, hey, hey.

Accepting me is acquired, but it’s his favorite wish,

he says I look like an angel, they say “she’s too lavish.“

There that house with the porch, is where he lived as a kid,

he’s been saying forever must not have read that

sca…thing take, ’bout how… I’m fake

and he could find someone younger.

I… can see, what… they

mean… and… now… I… guess… there’s

Some-thing… we all… can agree… on,

but my… baby likes… what he likes, oh-whoa oh-oh.

He al-ready took… me to Cleve-land

and showed me The Heights (hey), so hate all you like, (uh huh)

this is the love of my life – hey, hey, hey.

He likes what he likes what he likes and he likes… me.

He likes what he likes what he likes and he likes… me.

You only need to find one person in this entire world

who doesn’t find you… completely insufferable.

And I, have an important announcement to make –

I… found… mine. (that’s right)

Well I found mine, (hey, hey, hey)

yeh I found mine,

yes that’s

Some-thing… we all… can agree… on, (I guess we agree but)

but my… baby likes… what he likes, oh-whoa oh-oh.

He al-ready took… me to Cleve-land (to Cleveland),

now I’m wearing white (yeh), so hate all you like (uh huh),

this is the love of my life – hey, hey, hey.
