Lyrics
GOLD DIGGER
Here’s the deal now, listen kid
Do what I said not what I did
Get confused and think a lot
Squeeze that lemon don’t waste a drop
And he’s a gold digger,
Short stick figure (d) way out over the fence
Don’t you know that he’s a vampire,
A pale skin drinker
Drowning in his own common sense, yeah
If you’re trying to run
Careful what you say
He’s not just here for fun
Run, run, run away
Infused again he’s tying his knot
Misused friends he’s taking his shot
Lawn mowers, law breakers
Like a leech dying for another drop
And he’s a gold digger,
Short stick figure (d) way out over the fence
Don’t you know that he’s a vampire,
A paleskin drinker
Drowning in his own common sense
If you’re trying to run
Careful what you say
He’s not just here for fun
Run, run, run away
