Wait, no, why didn't I pursue my little princess with persistence Was so low key that she's unaware of my existence From a distance I desired her, secretly admired her Wired her a letter, and it went: My dear, my dear, my dear, you do not know me But I know you very well Now let me tell you about the feelings I have for you When I try or make some sort of attempt, I simp Damn, I wish I wasn't such a wimp But I'ma take y'all (Way back) Uh, yeah, where goin' y'all?
