Uh, picture life in the movie frame
Smiles in your face but everybody fake
Tryna claim a role, actin’ on the stage
The world want a show and we are the play
Just to say, why didn’t you want me yesterday
I blacked out, got some change, now they feelin’ me
Couple chains, gold chains on, Mr. T
They see me low-key so, nigga, don’t bother me
I wanna relax with some time, all just for me
‘Cause lately, I been meetin’ girls, chasin’ me
Wantin’ the spotlight, damn, she spotted me
Dang, you bad, baby, let me tell you one thing
You got it, I like how you flaunt it
And I need it, I really, really want it
Can I get, oh, your love? (Your love)
Girl, I’m on it, I’m really, really on it
‘Til morning, I be up in the mornin’
What I gotta do to meet you? (Uh)
I just want this
I want a regular girl, want a regular girl, want a regular girl (Oh-oh-oh)
I want a regular girl, want a regular girl, want a regular girl (Oh-oh-oh)
I want a regular girl, want a regular girl, want a regular girl (Oh-oh-oh)
I want a regular girl, when I get home, yeah (Oh-oh-oh)
The fame don’t mean nothing, neither does the money
I just want my friend right here with me
The light will fade away, no matter how hard I grind
Today ain’t the day, so I’m just gonna live my life
All day long, same shit, different video
All them silly games, I don’t wanna play no more
You got it, I like how you flaunt it
And I need it, I really, really want it
Can I get, oh, your love? (Your love)
Girl, I’m on it, I’m really, really on it
‘Til morning, I be up in the mornin’
What I gotta do to meet you? (Uh)
I just want this
I want a regular girl, want a regular girl, want a regular girl (Oh-oh-oh)
I want a regular girl, want a regular girl, want a regular girl (Oh-oh-oh)
I want a regular girl, want a regular girl, want a regular girl (Oh-oh-oh)
I want a regular girl, when I get home, yeah (Oh-oh-oh)
