Forever doesn't mean forever anymore
I said forever
But it doesn't look like I'm gonna be around much anymore
When the heat gets subtropical, and the talk gets so topical
Riot act
You can read me the riot act
You can make me a matter of fact or a villain in a million
A slip of the tongue is gonna keep me civilian
Why do you talk such stupid nonsense
When my mind could rest much easier?
Instead of all this dumb, dumb insolence
I would be happy with amnesia
They say, "Forget her"
Now it looks like you're either gonna be before me or against me
I got your letter
Let's just say that I don't care for the color that it paints me
Tryna be so bad is bad enough
Don't make me laugh by talking tough
Don't put your heart out on your sleeve
When your remarks are off the cuff
Riot act
You can read me the riot act
You can make me a matter of fact or a villain in a million
A slip of the tongue is gonna keep me civilian
Riot act
You can read me the riot act
You can make me
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Riot act
You can read me the riot act
You can make me
