Oh shit I thought you and I were friends
Oh shit I guess this is where our love ends
Oh shit I thought things were goin' well
But it hasn't turned out so swell
Has it
Oh shit
Oh shit pride comes before a fall
Oh shit and once you lose one you've lost them all
Oh shit I guess this time's the time
And it seem you're no longer mine
Don't it
Oh shit
Oh shit
Oh shit I wish I'd known before now
Oh shit that you were such a cow
Oh shit I wouldn't've wasted my time
Oh shit chasin' somethin' which wasn't mine
Face it
You're shit
You're shit
Oh shit I wish I'd known before now
Oh shit that you were such a fuckin' cow
Oh shit I wouldn't've wasted my time
Oh shit chasin' somethin' which could never be mine
Admit
You're shit
You're shit
You're shit
Admit admit
You're shit
You're shit
You're shit
You're shit
You're shit
