[Verse 1]
Well, it was like a party (Party)
But the kiss feels better off (Kiss feels better off)
You told me all those lies
That I said you did
And I can't give you one more chance
But I bet you I will show you
That the pick of the litter comes a little bigger than I said it would
And it's been coming for a long time
[Chorus]
L, let's get you ready for the lovin' of a lifetime
O, opticians can see just what you can do
V, become a victim on the verge of kickin' ass now
E, it's experience and you'll know what to do
[Post-Chorus]
You've been wasting time (You've been wasting time)
Are you out of your mind? (You've been wasting time)
Well, you show me some love
[Verse 2]
With intentions so high (So high)
You probably need a place to count your cash (Need a place to count your cash)
You said you're sorry so many times
And I'm sorry that you ever did (You ever did)
Well, you can take your life of love
And stick it up in your mainframe
'Cause there'll be no more second chances
No more hot romances
And I like it this way
So let me break it down for you
[Chorus]
L, let's get you ready for the lovin' of a lifetime
O, opticians can see just what you can do
V, become a victim on the verge of kickin' ass now
E, it's experience and you'll know what to do
[Verse 3]
Better stop playin' me, start lovin' me
I ain't the same ho givin' away love for free
All my life sittin' 'round thinkin' how to please you
Been blind so long that my screws were loose
But I've paid my dues, now it's time to move
'Cause I'm sick and tired of playin' the fool
'Cause you play to lose and I play to win
Tryin' not to sin and tried to be your friend
Like every other girl, never sexed your friends
But it's over now, and you saying, "How?"
I found something new that's worth my while
Instead of messin' with a bum cat poster child
But I'm focused now, people saying, "Wow!"
And replace of a frown on my face, a smile
You must be out your mind, I have no time
To get you ready for a love of a lifetime
[Chorus]
L, let's get you ready for the lovin' of a lifetime
O, opticians can see just what you can do
V, become a victim on the verge of kickin' ass now
E, it's experience and you'll know what to do
[Post-Chorus]
You've been wasting time (You've been wasting time)
Are you out of your mind? (You've been wasting time)
Well, you show me some love
[Outro]
L (Oh)
O (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
V (Oh, oh, oh)
E (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Let's get you ready for the lovin' of a lifetime (Let's get you ready)
Opticians can see just what you can do (Opticians can tell you just what you can do)
Become a victim on the verge of kickin' ass now
It's experience and you'll know what to do (Dang)
