[Verse 1]
So he drives a Cadillac, baby
His belt buckle's diamond-plated
He treats you like a lady, yes he does and
Tells you you are underrated
It seems like nothing could go wrong, but
[Chorus]
When the levee blows and the tears fall down your face
Will it feel the same, I don't know
When the curtains close and you stand in awe alone
Will your pretty eyes still show, that you've played this game before
[Verse 2]
So he went to Harvard
Builds schools down in Guatemala
Spends every tuesday night with his mama
Look I get it, the man's a 6'5, blue eyed, American Dalai Lama
I just want you to be careful, 'cause
[Chorus]
When the levee blows and the tears fall down your face
Will it feel the same, I don't know
When the curtains close and you're standing all alone
Will your pretty eyes still show, that you've played this game before
[Bridge]
There's always rocks in the streams
There's always stems in your gra**
Always a snag at the seam
Well there's always a ghost in your past
You might think that you can hide
You might think that you can cope
You might bottle it up inside, but
Oh sugar don't
[Chorus]
When the levee blows and the tears fall down your face
Will it feel the same, I don't know
When the curtains close and you're standing all alone
Will your pretty eyes still show, that you've played this game before
[Outro]
When the levee blows
When the levee blows
