| Anaïs & Laura |
I can't be a jerk, I don't want nobody else to ever beat me
I'm trying really hard, so don't you ever try to tease me
There ain't another freaking day for which I get a zero
I know the capitals of every country, that ain't weirdo
I recall the days on my computer where I played some fun games
How I had got a perfect score, some think it's totally insane
Some people have a hard time tryna find out what they're knowing
That's when somebody does some research just to keeps things going
I don't care (You are so damn right. Ha!)
A billion questions to answer sure is a lot (Yeah, you're right people. It is! Like, seriously!)
At least I get each one right
I don't care (500 questions in this booklet? Wowee!)
Another strange situation for me to solve (And we better solve it quick, or else we're in HUGE trouble!)
At least I think out the box
Not dumb, never that dumb, never that dumb, never that dumb
MORE SOON!
