You and me, why are we living in retrograde
Loving me, losing me, driving without a break
Going full speed ahead never without a fight
Running red lights
Running red lights
Oh, Oh, no turning …
[Chorus]
Trust issues got me being cautious
Not friendly – niggas rolling swishers
Do I wanna hit it – not really
Blood in the streets for any one of my niggas
I’m ridin solo – …
[Hook:]
I’m kissing styrofoam
You know what I be on
Thats what I be on
She know what I be on
Who know what I be on
Thats what I be on
Baby move along
I keep moving …
He’s still driving that 1970 hand-me-down truck
And he’s still wearing that red and black jersey
Waiting for the band to start up
He’s still showing up twenty late, finding hearts and rules …
You know I’m gonna hit it on the radio
You know I’m gonna put it on my video
I know you gon’ be turning up the volume
I know you wanna split me …
Nah nah honey, I’m good1
I could have another2 but I probably should not
I’ve got somebody3 at home
It’s been a long night here, and a long night there
And these long long legs and damn they’re everywhere4
(hold up now)
You look good, I will not lie
But if you ask where I’m staying tonight
I gotta be like oh baby, no baby, you got me all wrong baby5
My baby’s already got all of my love6
So nah nah Honey, I’m good
I could have another but I probably should not
I’ve got somebody at home, and if I stay I might not leave alone
No, honey, I’m good
I could have another but I probably should not
I’ve got to bid you adieu7
To another8 I will stay true
(oo oo I will stay true)
(who who I will stay true)
Now better men than me have failed9
Drinking from that unholy grail10
(Now check it out)
I’ve got her, and she got me
And you’ve got that ass, but I kindly gotta be like
Oh baby, no baby, you got me all wrong baby11
My baby’s already got all of my love
So nah nah Honey, I’m good
I could have another but I probably should not
I’ve got somebody at home, and if I stay I might not leave alone
No, honey, I’m good
I could have another but I probably should not
I’ve got to bid you adieu
To another I will stay true
(oo oo I will stay true)
(who who I will stay true)
Oh, I’m sure ya, sure ya will make somebody’s night12
But oh, I assure ya assure ya, it sure as hell’s not mine13
Oh No, honey, I’m good
I could have another but I probably should not
I’ve got somebody at home
And if I stay I might now leave alone
No honey I’m good
I could have another but I probably should not
I’ve got to bid you adieu
To another I will stay true
No, no, honey, I’m good
I could have another but I probably should not
I’ve got somebody at home
And if I stay I might now leave alone
No honey I’m good
I could have another but I probably should not
I’ve got to bid you adieu
To another I will stay true
True ooo, ooo
(I will stay true) [x4]

This is a song from the perspective of a drunk chauvinist who has mistaken his waitress’ request for a final drink order as a romantic overture. As he hiccups “AWW baby, NRAWWW baby.” and chomps out “NAWW, NAWW! honey I’m good” you can practically hear the pretzel crumbs spraying across the table.
The tired waitress stands by as our hero fumbles under the table, blindly groping for his dropped truck keys, all the while slurring out leering praise for the blur of female bodies he perceives surrounding him: “These long long legs are damn near everywhere!”
As he stumbles to his feet, dropping his keys again, the waitress expresses concern that he get home safely, which he again misreads as a pass (“if you ask where I’m staying tonight”). Our protagonist coyly hints that there is a lucky woman waiting for him at home. But even as he totters toward the door he can’t resist showing off his keen eye, pointing out “You got that ass”, then classing it up by dropping a little French (for he is a man of the world): “Adieu” he belches toward the forest of long long legs, then shuffles out into the night.
