    One, one, two

    I came into this world as a reject
    Look into these eyes, then you'll see the size of the flames (size of the)
    Dwellin' on the past, (past) it's burnin' on my brain (hot)
    Everyone that burns has to learn from the pain

    Hey, I think about the day (days)
    My girlie ran away with my pay when fellas came to (play) play
    Now, she's stuck with my homies that she fucked (ooh)
    And I'm just a sucker with a lump in my throat

    (Hey) like a chump
    (Hey) I'm like a chump
    (Hey) like a chump
    (Hey) like a chump
    (Hey) I'm like a chump
    (Hey) like a chump
    (Hey) like a chump (hey)

    Should I be feelin' bad? (No) Should I be feelin' good? (No)
    It's kinda sad, I'm the laughin' stock of the neighborhood
    And you would think that I'd be movin' on (move it)
    But I'm a sucker, like I said, fucked up in the head, not

    And maybe, she just made a mistake
    And I should give her a break, my heart'll ache either way
    Hey, what the hell, what you want me to say?
    I won't lie, that I can't deny

    I did it all for the nookie (come on)
    The nookie (come on)
    So you can take that cookie
    And stick it up your (yeah)
    Stick it up your (yeah)
    Stick it up your (yeah)
    Stick it up your

    I did it all for the nookie (come on)
    The nookie (come on)
    So you can take that cookie
    And stick it up your (yeah)
    Stick it up your (yeah)
    Stick it up your (yeah)
    Stick it up your

    Why did it take so long?
    Why, did I wait so long, huh?
    To figure it out, but I did it
    And I'm the only one underneath the sun who didn't get it

    I can't believe that I could be deceived (but you were)
    By my so-called girl, but in reality
    Had a hidden agenda, she put my tender
    Heart in a blender, and still, I surrendered

    (Hey) like a chump
    (Hey) I'm like a chump
    (Hey) like a chump
    (Hey) like a chump
    (Hey) I'm like a chump
    (Hey) like a chump
    (Hey) like a chump

    I'm only human
    It's so easy for your friends
    To give you their advice
    They'll tell you, "Just let it go" (just let it go)
    It's easier said than done

    (I appreciate it) I appreciate it (i appreciate it)
    (I appreciate it) I do, but
    Just leave me alone (leave me alone)
    Leave me alone (leave me alone)
    Just leave me alone

    And nothing gonna change (alone)
    You can go away (alone)
    I'm just gonna stay here (alone)
    And always be the same (alone)

    And nothing gonna change (alone)
    'Cause you can go away (alone)
    And I'm just gonna stay here (alone)
    And always be the same

    And nothing gonna change (and always be the same)
    'Cause you can go away (always be the same)
    And I'm just gonna stay here ('cause always be the same)
    And always be the same

  • AnonymousYes, Wes does use a 4-string guitar (not a bass) in this song. For those curious, it's tuned F#F#BE. (The two F# notes are an octave apart).
  • Zero from Nowhere, NjOh, crap, now I just read that he "SAMPLED" it on this page right after I posted that comment. Wow, I feel like an idiot!
  • Zero from Nowhere, NjNowadays when my sister watches the Jersey shore and that "Snookie" chick comes on the screen I think of this song. BTW, I'm willing to bet that Fred got that "tender heart in a blender" line from that Eve 6 song "Inside Out" that was playing on MTV just one year prior to this song...
  • Kelsey from Rustburg, VaI love this song! I love this band! BTW... My friends said that cookie is slang for a woman's genitals... or... something like that. Idk if thats what it means but that's just what my friends told me... They're all idiots though so I'm probably wrong. Anyway... ROCK ON FRED DURST!!!
  • Kane from Wytheville, Vai mean yea i like the song and i understand the nookie part
    but what does "you take take that cookie and shove it up your..."
    what does a cookie have to do with anything in this song!
    STILL ROCK ON FRED!!!
    result may vary
  • Austin from Smallsville,new England, --Wes Boreland plays a custom four string guitar on this song.
  • Abhimanyu from Shimla, IndiaThe song doesn't actually go "stick it up your ass".... If you listen carefully he says stick it up your.... and then there's a muted yeah so it's more like "stick it up your (yeah!)".... Though obviously that is what he means.
  • Kyle from Cardiff, Wales"Up ones ass" lmaooo...Sweeet!
  • Mark from Williamsburg, VaThis song was reffed to on VH1's I Love the 90s: Part Deux. Some guy said, "I will never write a song about shoving a cookie up one's ass." I forgot, but that comment made me lol.
