Seems like your heart stops working
the minute they close the curtain
And take off your mask,
and take off your costume
And if anyone asks you're taking a small break
Drinking some coffee
Everyone knows what you're doing
Seems like the bus moves slower,
just cause you got somewhere to go
So you take a few pills in Beverly Hills
But if anyone asks you've got a prescription
You got an addiction,
Who do you think that you're fooling?!
John Doe, I just want the John I know
Once you put the drinks on hold
Maybe you could come back home
John Doe, ooh oh oh oooh
Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh
Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh
[B.o.B :]
Errybody's addicted to something
Errybody got a grip onto something,
Even if it's just the feel too responsible to be maybe once, maybe twice
Maybe hundreds of times, hundreds of times
But that it's just harder to function at times
You wasted at the bottom of every single bottle
As if it was someone or something to find
You're struggling in your mind
And you tell yourself lie after lie
'Til you get to the point where it's no longer private
people that you work with noticed the sings
When you walk in the room
It gets noticeably quiet
So you break up the silence, you say you've been at the gym
But the way look ain't blame on the diet
So what you hiding?!
John Doe, I just want the John I know
Once you put the drinks on hold
Maybe you could come back home
John Doe, ooh oh oh oooh
Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh
Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh
[B.o.B :]
Yeah, I've probably had too many things
Mashed too many freaks
Had too much to dro (Imean)
Had too much to drink
Left the club, ended up in custody
Random drug test passed it luckily
My girl broke up with me cause she walked in suddenly
with a woman up under me,
I told her wait! it ain't what it look like
I must've slip and fell, clumsy me!
Well, at least I admit it, 'cause the worst you could do
Is to do it and not to be mad enough to say that you did it,
That's just how you prevent it, well I ain't no different
I love all the money, the fame,
And the parties with beautiful women!!
I spend so much time as an underground artist
'Cause I was afraid to succumb to the business
That I've become?
But that what you'd judge I become
The path with the greatest resistance
That's how the tables can turn, when they pivot
and change the perspective and flip your entire position
My whole life I've been dying to wish and to live and experience
That everything's possible when I told 'em my dreams
They just said they ain't logical
Now, I can see it - it's optical (optical)
Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh
Oooh oh oh ohooh oooh
John Doe, I just want the John I know
Once you put the drinks on hold,
Maybe you could come back home
John Doe!
