She was five foot four with some money on the floor
And box that's hidden under her bed
I was only twenty-two with a pocket full of truth
But I gave her everything that I had
We were born and raised in the Golden State
Mommy's gone and Daddy's doing his best
I was brought up great living in Section 8
Social Security is paying the rent, oh-oh-oh

(Ooh-ooh) the landlord called, she said you gotta go
(Ooh-ooh) little one, you just lost your—
(Ooh-ooh)
(Yeah)

She was five foot four getting money on tour
But her socks were at the end of my bed
Got our names tattooed on each other
Just to prove to each other that we'd do what we said
Only took a few days till our minds were made up
And we thought we should try it again
I was only seventeen when we first tried things
When she first made me feel like a man, oh-oh-oh

(Ooh-ooh) who am I gonna call?
(Ooh-ooh) who's gonna catch me when I—
(Ooh-ooh) who's the one you're sleeping with?
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Don't you sit in front of me and wait for me to talk
You can call me up
Phone works two ways, you know, this time, baby
Yeah, I think that I'll be just fine
And I wish I could say the same for you
I, yeah, I do, I
Hey

(To those of you in which I choose to always be the closest to)
(There's something that you need to know)
(Loving me is not a joke)
(And you can put it all on me)
(You can laugh and you can bleed)
(And I'll adopt it all because)
(That's just what a buddy does)

(I loved you from minute one, the iced tea to my lemonade)
(Never one to hit and run, soaking every minute made)
(You can give me all your juice, I can squeeze it out for you)
(And all I ask you in exchange: Love me back through every phase)

(If it ever comes off wrong or leaves you with a bitter taste)
(Just remember you're the tea and I'm your sour lemonade)
(Tropical iced tea and hot pink lemonade)
