[Verse 1]
Your takeout's getting old
Been sitting in my kitchen for a minute
Couldn't even eat it all
Said you'd come back for it, but you didn't
And now I'm staring at the box
I can keep it if you want
But I don't see the point, no

[Chorus]
Can you tell me what it's like
To be living on the fly?
Be living for yourself
Do you need me?
Can you tell me what it's like
To be living on the fly?
Be living for yourself
Do you need me
Or do you need somebody else?

[Verse 2]
Taking off next week
Don't have to wake up on my days off
No one made plans with me
Spending all day with no jeans on
Now I'm hanging up your art
It looks good in the dark
Staring from afar, oh
[Chorus]
Can you tell me what it's like
To be living on the fly?
Be living for yourself
Do you need me?
Can you tell me what it's like
To be living on the fly?
Be living for yourself
Do you need me
Or do you need somebody else?

[Bridge]
I really love the way she talks
Watching her when she walks away from me
Miss her company
I really love the way she talks
Watching her when she walks away from me
Miss her company

[Chorus]
Can you tell me what it's like
To be living on the fly?
Be living for yourself
Do you need me?
Can you tell me what it's like
To be living on the fly?
Be living for yourself
Do you need me?
Can you tell me what it's like
To be living on the fly?
Be living for yourself
Do you need me?
Can you tell me what it's like
To be living on the fly?
Be living for yourself
Do you need me
Or do you need somebody else?
