about

When enough is enough but it doesn't stop. What do you do? How do you stop it? How's that for something, huh?

Howzat

They say that summertime’s when the living in easy
But I…I’m not so sure
Summertime is like one big dream that everyone looks forward to
When it’s finally here, it does you no good
‘Cause when the air is hot and your sins leak out in the rain
That’s when you wanna wrap up your secrets in cellophane

Oh baby hush now, don’t you cry
Hush, hush baby, just give it a sigh

Ain't nobody lookin' out for you, howzat for something to chew
Ain’t nobody gonna do things for you, howat for something to pursue

Sweat drips down your forehead and you don’t give a damn
‘Cause you know it’s gonna sting when it trickles down to your eyes.
Salt from your tears has nothing on the deed he’d done
Are you so sure? How’s about that cure?
You know when you wipe it off, you risk running your mascara
And your heels get they caught in the bloodied carpet.

Oh baby hush now, don’t you cry
Hush, hush baby, just give it a sigh

Ain't nobody lookin out for you, howzat for something
Ain’t nobody doing things for you? Howat for something

She runs out in her Jimmy Choos sinking into the grass
Cement. That’s all she can think of.
Standing on this muggy day
She twists her back to look down at her heels and yeah,
There ain’t no surprise, there’s mud clinging on to them there stilettos highs
Cement. That’s all she can think of
Cement. What a ride.

Oh baby hush, don’t you cry
Hush, hush baby, give it a sigh

Aint nobody lookin out for you, howzat for something to chew
Ain’t nobody wanting things for you? Howzat for something
