lyrics

Intro
Alright, this song right here,
his is for my girl, Penelope,
Yo, what up, girl?

Chorus
Hey girl, what you thinking about?
Why are you just waiting around?
You know that he ain’t coming back,
Oh no, he ain’t coming back,
But I’m here for your every need,
So girl, forget the O-D,
‘Cause you know that he ain’t coming back,
So stop being so wack.

Verse
Now, I admire your patience, girl,
But you gotta know when to quit,
Why are you waiting around?
When you ain’t heard shit
For 20 long years,
And it’s gonna be longer,
You gotta realize these eyes,
By the end of the song, girl,
Now, I don’t like to do this,
But I thought you ought to know,
Odysseus been cheating on you,
On an island with Calypso,
Now, he might try to tell ya,
That the girl there had him trapped,
But don’t listen to that punk bitch,
‘Cause what he says is wack,
So, let me explain the situation here at hand,
I’m not saying take a suitor as your man,
Those fuckers don’t respect you as a lady,
They only waiting for you to pick a date, see,
The wealth that your husband left is all they care about,
Believing that you’ll choose them without a doubt,
Now, I only want you ‘cause you need a man,
And only with an older woman can I show who I am.

Chorus
Hey girl, what you thinking about?
Why are you just waiting around?
You know that he ain’t coming back,
Oh no, he ain’t coming back,
But I’m here for your every need,
So girl, forget the O-D,
‘Cause you know that he ain’t coming back,
So stop being so wack.

Verse
Now, I’m just waiting for you to say,
That girl you need me too,
I understand your worries, baby,
But know I thought them through,
So what if I happen to be,
Younger than your son,
Well, it don’t matter to me,
So give me your sweet, sweet love,
Now, I know you been thinking about me all the time,
And I know that you love it when I start to rhyme,
But understand, Odysseus doesn’t care at all,
He wants to go home, but not for you or Tel,
His land is all that seems to matter to him,
And he would get a new wife just on a whim,
But listen when I say that I’ll take good care of you,
I love you, girl, so make my dream come true.

Chorus
Hey girl, what you thinking about?
Why are you just waiting around?
You know that he ain’t coming back,
Oh no, he ain’t coming back,
But I’m here for your every need,
So girl, forget the O-D,
‘Cause you know that he ain’t coming back,
So stop being so wack.

Outro
So you know what I’m saying, girl? You gotta be with me.
Hey Penelope, I’m home.
Oh, shit, Odysseus!
Hey, who the fuck is that? I’ll stab you, muthafucka!
Relax, relax, I’m just singing a song. I’m gonna go, I’m gonna go now, okay?
That’s right, you don’t mess with my woman.
Fuckin’ poser.
What was that?
Nothing, I’m leaving, I’m leaving.
