Can I take you to a restaurant, that has a bar
You can eat good, i know you like it like that
Then walk over to the bar,
No it ain't that far
And we can get drunk, you talk shh i talk back
Lets google somewhere that you would prefer
Do you like Middle Eastern food or Italian
Do you like Japanese, Moroccan, or Soul food
Tell me what you want, baby we'll go together
Take you where the floors, they rise up, rise up
The drink in your glass, lights up, lights up
And the flowers that surround our table, smell good,
In conjunction with your perfume, smells good
Can I take you to a restaurant, that has a bar
You can eat good, i know you like it like that
Then walk over to the bar,
No it ain't that far
And we can get drunk, you talk shh i talk back
We can go to a place off the beach, where the waters next to you
And the dolphins be swimming so close, that they could eat your food
We can go somewhere classy,
Or just keep it hood.
I worked so hard for that man
And he worked me to the bone
Said success wont belong
He bought that old factory
Cause the rich are born free and thats how you want to be
So I looked down from the rooftops one night
And I knew I could go far if you never left my sight
But this will never be what I want in some fancy restaurant like now.
This will never be what I want, and all I ever wanted was you.
He was a beggar on a horse, he was another brave man
?? our jobs get sold
He took the drinks from our hands so I took you in my arms we watched the sun go down
Then I knew I had been taken for a fool
I took you for granted I took fate as a rule
But this will never be what I want in some fancy restaurant like now.
This'll never be what I want and all I ever wanted was you.
I need you now more than before
I need you now more than before
I need you to be there true and fair
If I prove myself here I'll prove it anywhere
But this'll never be what I want in some fancy restaurant like now.
This'll never be what I want and all I ever wanted was you.
This'll never be what I want. [x4]

I wanna live in a restaurant
Far from you
I make a living thinking slowly
That's all I can do
Don't think of me, I won't think of you, It's too hard to do
Picture what everyone sees
A Disney day Parade
You missed the show
It ends without you
I'm amazed
At all that I put you through
And on that day that I saw you
I knew I was through.
I wanna live like the rest of you
With nothing to do
A simple life is never easy
When freaks look like you
I'm so tired of being tired
In a room with no view
I'll only need a little money
It should get me through
I'm amazed
At all that you put me through
And on that day that I saw you
I knew I was through
She won't get me this time
I'm buying a Rover
And driving her over
She can run she can't hide
I'll try to explode her
So I can get older
Get on with my life
I wanna live in a Restaurant
When I'm through with you
I'll be laughing cause it's funny
You'll be less amused
I'm amazed
At all that I put you through
And on that day that I saw you
I knew I was through
I'm amazed
At all that you put me through
And on that day that I saw you
I knew I was through
I wanna live in a restaurant
Far from you
I make a living thinking slowly
That’s all I can do
Don’t think of me, I won’t think of you, It’s too hard to do
Picture what everyone sees
A Disney day Parade
You missed the show
It ends without you
I’m amazed
At all that I put you through
And on that day that I saw you
I knew I was through.
I wanna live like the rest of you
With nothing to do
A simple life is never easy
When freaks look like you
I’m so tired of being tired
In a room with no view

I’m amazed
At all that you put me through
And on that day that I saw you
