Lyrics

I think I’ve (G)had e nough,

Cause all of (G)my kind ness

Now I’m (D)four, five se conds from wild in’ and we got (D)three more days ’til Fri day.

I’m just try’n a make it back home by (G)Mon day morn in’ I swear.

I wish some bod y would tell me, (A5)ooh, that’s all I want.

Woke up an (G)op ti mist.

Sun was shin ing, I’m (G)pos i tive.

Then I heard you was (G)talk in’ trash,

hold me back I’m (G)’bout to spaz.

Yeah ’bout (D)four, five sec onds from wild in’ and we got (D)three more days ’til Fri day.

I’m try’n a make it back home by (G)Mon day morn in’ I swear.

I wish some bod y would tell me, (A5)ooh, that’s all I want.

And I know that you’re (F#m)up to night think in’ (Em)how could I be so self ish.
