B.O.B - John Doe lyrics

rate me

Seems like your heart stops working

The minute they close the curtain

You take off your mask, and take off your costume

And if anyone asks, you're taking a smoke break,

Drinking some coffee,

But 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?

Hook:

John Doe,

I just want the John I know!

Once you put the drinks on hold

Maybe you could come back home,

John Do!

Oh oh oh ohhh

Oh oh oh ohhh

Oh oh oh ohhh

Uh, everybody's addicted to something

Everybody's got to grip onto something.

Even if it's just to feel the response of appeal

Maybe once, maybe twice, maybe hundreds of times,

It’s hundreds of times, hundreds of times

Without it, it's just harder to function at times.

You race to the bottom of every single bottle

As if there was someone or something to find.

You're struggling in your mind

And you tell yourself lie after lie

Till you get to the point where it's no longer private

The people that you work with noticed the signs

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 that you look,

You can't blame on the diet

So what you’re hiding?

Hook:

John Doe,

I just want the John I know!

Once you put the drinks on hold

Maybe you could come back home,

John Do!

Oh oh oh ohhh

Oh oh oh ohhh

Oh oh oh ohhh

Yeah, I've probably had too many things

Smashed too many freaks

Had too much to dru...

I mean, 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 be man 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'd spent so much time as an underground artist,

Cause I was afraid to succumb to the business

And what I'd 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 your perspective

And flip your entire position.

My whole life I've been dying and wishing

To live and experience everything possible!

When I told them my dreams,

They just said they ain't logical

Now, I can see it, it's optical, optical, optical, optical!

Hook:

Oh oh oh ohhh

Oh oh oh ohhh

Oh oh oh ohhh

John Doe,

I just want the John I know!

Once you put the drinks on hold

Maybe you could come back home,

John Do!
