[Chorus]
Wonderful, wonderful
You were wonderful, I was so pathetic
We were wonderful
Wonderful
You were wonderful, I was so pathetic
We were wonderful
[Verse 1]
Hey baby, oops, Miss
I’m not gonna hit on you, I swear
I’ve been single since yesterday, fuck!
I can’t have a baby but well, it’s not –
Hey, come back!
Just five minutes, I didn’t insult you
I’m polite, respectful and a very bit wasted
You’re not gonna wanna talk to a guy like me, huh
If you’d only seen me yesterday
I was …
[Chorus]
Wonderful, wonderful
You were wonderful, I was so pathetic
We were wonderful
Wonderful
You were wonderful, I was so pathetic
We were wonderful
[Verse 2]
Look at you, checking yourself out
You think you’re hot stuff ‘cause you’re married
But it’s just a ring dude, don’t get carried away
She’s gonna dump you like they always do
And what about the other chick, you mention her?
If you want I’ll tell your wife and then it’s settled
And the kid, too, well, if you got any
Just wait 3 years, 7 years and you’ll see

[Chorus]
Wonderful, wonderful
You were wonderful, I was so pathetic
We were wonderful
Wonderful
You were wonderful, I was so pathetic
We were wonderful
[Verse 3]
Hey little girl, oh sorry, boy
You know in life, there’s no good guys or bad guys
If mommy’s being a pain, it’s ‘cause she’s afraid of becoming a granny
If daddy is cheating on mommy, it’s ‘cause she’s getting old
Hey! Why are you blushing? Get back here, kid
And why are you all looking at me like an ape?
Yeah right, you’re all saints
Bunch of monkeys
Give me a baby ape
He’ll be…
[Chorus]
Wonderful, wonderful
You were wonderful, I was so pathetic
We were wonderful
Wonderful
You were wonderful, I was so pathetic
We were wonderful
