  • I'm seeing this girl and she just might be out of her mind
    Well, she's got baggage and it's all the emotional kind
    She talks about closure and that validation bit
    I don't mean to be insensitive but I really hate that shit

    And I said, yeah, yeah
    Oh man, she's got issues
    And I'm gonna pay
    Yeah, yeah
    She thinks she's the victim, yeah

    Now I know she'll feel abandoned
    If I don't stay over late
    And I know she's afraid to commit
    But it's only our second date

    And I said, yeah, yeah
    Oh man, she's got issues
    And I'm gonna pay
    Yeah, yeah
    She says she's my victim
    But she takes it all out on me

    I don't know why you're messed up
    I don't know why your whole life is a chore
    Just do me a favor
    And check your baggage at the door

    Now she talks about her ex nonstop but I don't mind
    But when she calls out his name in bed, that's where I draw the line
    You told me a hundred times how your father left and he's gone
    But I wish you wouldn't call me daddy
    When we're gettin' it on

    And I said, yeah, yeah
    Oh man, she's got issues
    And I'm gonna pay
    Yeah, yeah
    She says she's playing the victim
    And taking it all out on me
    Yeah, yeah
    My god, she's got issues
    And I'm gonna pay, gonna pay
    Gonna pay, gonna pay
    Gonna pay, gonna pay, woo

    If you think I'm controlling
    Then why do you follow me around?
    If you're not co-dependent
    Then why do you let others drag you down?

    I don't know why you're messed up
    I don't know why your whole life is a chore
    Just do me a favor
    And check your baggage at the door Writer/s: Bryan Keith Holland
