Basic Being Basic Lyrics

[00:02.42] Get food, barely eat
[00:06.43] Every bite just kept me glued to my seat
[00:10.28] I worried, even cried
[00:14.27] How'd it feel to take the light from my life?
[00:18.16] Bad habit, even worse
[00:22.09] 50-50, I'm a sucker for looks
[00:25.93] Asked for it, here it is
[00:29.87] A quick example 'cause you wanted the hits
[00:32.86] I think you're scared of bein' basic
[00:37.85] That's ironic 'cause it's like reading like you're even more basic
[00:45.43] It's not funny, it's so funny
[00:48.75] 'Cause you're basic
[00:52.34] Just looking hot and keeping monotone and understated
[00:56.00] Nothingness won't change it
[00:59.06] (Good luck with that)
[00:59.87] (Good luck with what?)
[01:01.31] It's not funny, but it's so funny
[01:04.98] I don't want your money, I don't care for fame
[01:09.05] I don't wanna live a life where that's my big exchange
[01:12.81] I want simple pleasures, friends who have my back
[01:16.63] Everyone has secrets, but not everyone can fool a man like that
[01:20.81] It sent me reeling, still not the same
[01:24.47] It's like my capacity to love and give has changed
[01:28.79] I guess I'll thank you and spite your name again
[01:32.39] The past's the past, and I'll outlast
[01:34.39] The hate to find real love that's not pretend
[01:36.92] How basic (sell me on it)
[01:39.73] Shuffle numbers, pointing fingers, ditching chats in different apps
[01:43.78] That's basic
[01:48.45] It's not funny, it's so funny
[01:51.74] That's just basic being basic (basically)
[01:56.20] You said he looked just like a girl, so you like girls
[01:59.29] I guess I'll take it
[02:03.72] Yeah, that's funny, you're so funny
[02:07.88] Change your body, change your face
[02:09.75] Curl your hair, then make it straight
[02:11.72] Take a picture of your plate, Tarantino movie taste
[02:15.71] Rah-rah, cheugy-phobe, Vera Bradley's back in Vogue
[02:19.72] It's a flash photograph
[02:21.69] What an empty epitaph that is (that's basic)
[02:25.67] What an empty epitaph that is (that's basic)
[02:29.65] What an empty epitaph (that's just basic being basic)
[02:33.04] Yeah, my tight five might get a laugh as is
[02:35.61] If that's funny, I'm not funny
[02:37.15]
