[Toothbrush]
[Intro]
Venus fly trap mate, there's nothing worse than them
That's what I'm thinking, waking up at her's again
Babe's a f**ing perfect 10, gave it up the first attempt
So fluid you would think it was a rehearsed event
You gotta wake up and excuse my aura
Why do I make up an excuse to create distance just to later make up an excuse to call her
[Hook]
Good lord, just let me see tomorrow
Good lord, just let me see tomorrow
You don't love me no more baby
I'm gonna sing you a love [?]
[Verse 1: George the Poet]
To work it out you don't need scholarships to colleges
I think she knows, but to acknowledge it's just politics so what is this?
It's a game called rise and shine, let me show you;
I rise, you shine
She laughs 'cos that genuinely is my most romantic line
I suppose it's necessary to set that tone
I have a wash there and brush my teeth when I get back home
And I hate doing that sh**
Scared to see someone I know on the way in case they force me into a game I don't want to play called small talk
But expectations are the tall sort, could fall short
It's exciting knowing that you rushed at first but, now it makes sense to leave a toothbrush at hers
Now a toothbrush is a visual signpost that will stick out like a sore thumb when I'm ghost
We both know I'll be back tonight
She's not a drama queen; she's acting right
(But she's acting right)
[Hook]
[Verse 2: George the Poet]
A toothbrush is a symbol, saying I'll be back
And we both know the nature of how we chat
We've both got interests in having no strings attached
And this can only work when those things are matched
It's the same reason you won't go on the pill
We got a vibe that you don't want to k**
And why would you be taking more strong hormones when you're on your jones in this moron's war zone
That condom looks like an an*logy for your life right now
Small transfer from the s**m back but otherwise empty
I love your thighs plenty but other thighs tempt me
This is so unfair
I know the peace it gives you just to know I'm there
Tell myself you know what it is and you're doing your thing
But I know what I'm not there, there's no one there
I'm gentle when I stroke your face
Aggressive when i cut your arse
'Cos I want you to love every touch I've mastered, I'm such a ba*tard
(Such a ba*tard)
But how much time I got to spend watching you sleep
Before I admit that I'm in too deep
How much peace you gotta get from the sound of my breath
Before you accept that you're out of your depth
I can accept you thinking, I'm now a side-man
So I'll leave, like the coward I am
[Hook] X2
[Outro]
Good lord, good lord, good lord
Good lord, good lord, good lord
Good lord, good lord, good lord
[The Force]
[Verse 1: George the Poet]
You call me straight after the break up, of course I take up the cause
Next day you don't wake up at yours
You like my indifference and miss his love and respect
But can't tell the difference when kisses cover your neck
It's been a while
Just enough time to simmer down
You probably wonder if I've been around
But we don't do history, I've missed you, I know you've missed me
You took the time to cook a nice meal
I'm trying to play it cool but you're looking nice still
I wonder if this is all a formality
A weak excuse to call it normality, 'cos stating certain facts isn't allowed
We need something to stage the following accident around
When one of our backs is to the ground
And I suppose this starts with access to the lounge
[Chorus]
[?]
[Verse 2: George the Poet]
The illusions been shattered, now we're breaking stuff
I didn't see this coming but I doubt we're making love tonight
'Cos, I don't know if that's a good idea
But then again, should I care
Either way it doesn't take a genius to see
The only thing standing between us is me
Now I'm trying to think clearly as far as I can help it
'Cos I want to go digging but I can't find a helmet
Then she just bit my shoulder
I could see this sh** was over
I flipped her over, gripped her
Told her what she had to hear
Slapped her ear, grabbed her hair, maintained a tight grasp
She absorbed whatever she gained from my clasp
Closed her eyes and gave a slight gasp, why ask
She took it upon herself to pull the thong to the side
It's my move next, I'm taking long to decide
'Cos I never brought no condoms along for the ride
But the forces are playing too strong to deny
The joke is; her legs are making me stand
But it's a dictatorship to conquer the vibe
See, right now she's under supply
Is it really wrong to provide
Well it was fine the last time we was naked and sworn to secrecy
No herpes, no babies, just breaking the laws of decency
[Chorus]
[Verse 3: George the Poet]
But I tell myself wait, now don't be dumb
If he ain't the only one, you ain't the only one
And if she knows she's got something, she's got nothing to lose
Alarms ringing, but there's no stop bu*ton or snooze
All of a sudden I wanna' use protection
She can choose to question, there's no suggestion
And if I'm wrong, I could lose the s**
And chances are she's recently [?] to ex
Now what if they broke up because he gets around
Then I can't be sure who I'm s**ing now
It could indirectly be all the skets in town
(f**), look at this ratchet list
Then again, look at this woman's attractiveness
She looks good in a backless dress
But bare back, that's just stress
(That's just stress)
These are the things the force didn't let me say
I thought all of this while I did it anyway
[Chorus]
