Ayy-ah Ayy-ah She went to church, she was from the 'burbs When she passed, all the heads turned I'm from New York, rode a skateboard and camped out on a corner She and I didn't see eye to eye on politics and such But when I tell you, oh, none of that mattered When we got together, it was love (Ayy-ah) I saw her at her worst, still, I desired her I learned to read her eyes and know when she would lie (Ayy-ah) I watched her start to hate me Till she could no longer take me Oh-oh-oh She locked the door, but she left the key under the mat Oh, and I've known this for a while, but I am still too afraid to act Oh, and it's coming off the hinges, from the wall, it has detached Oh, and I've known this for a while, but I am still too afraid to act We moved into a shoebox out of school and it felt like a honeymoon She'd go to work while I made my songs For a moment there, it was just us two (Ayy-ah) I saw her at her worst, still, I desired her I learned to read her eyes and know when she would lie (Ayy-ah) I watched her start to hate me Till she could no longer take me Oh-oh-oh She locked the door, but she left the key under the mat Oh, and I've known this for a while, but I am still too afraid to act Oh, and it's coming off the hinges, from the wall, it has detached Oh, and I've known this for a while, but I am still too afraid to act I was doing fine until it hit me on a random day in July That she'll never be mine again in this lifetime I was doing fine until it hit me on a random day in July That I'll never be satisfied 'cause she will never be mine She locked the door, but she left the key under the mat Oh, and I've known this for a while, but I am still too afraid to act Oh, and it's coming off the hinges, from the wall, it has detached Oh, and I've known this for a while, but I am still too afraid to act Ayy-ah Ayy-ah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (That's the album, man)
