Verse 1

When I'm out walking
I strut my stuff
And I'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite
I just might stop to check you out

Chorus

Let me go on like a
Blister in the sun
Let me go on
Big hands, I know you're the one

Verse 2

Body and beats,
I stain my sheets
I don't even know why
My girlfriend,
She's at the end, She is starting to cry

Chorus

Let me go on like a
Blister in the sun
Let me go on
Big hands, I know you're the one
